Essay on Statement of Purpose for MS in Computer Science

My passion for science became prominent in my freshman year of high school. That year, I was introduced to Pre-AP Biology, and I enjoyed it beyond measure. We learned about living beings and how they worked from the most general of ecosystems they lived in all the way down to the insides of their cells. My teacher made sure to push our limits of what we could learn, and although many people despised it because of this, it helped my knowledge of science grow stronger. One of the most memorable moments from that class was when we dissected a pig. Although most dissections during high school just end with a mangled pig and little to no knowledge from the encounter, we went through each and every organ and made sure we knew the function and relative

I wouldn’t be doing philosophy if I didn’t think it progressed, and that we know now more than we did a century ago. For that reason, I don’t view its history as a story of the clash of defensible but irreconcilable views, from which the most we can expect is a sympathetic understanding of how things looked to the participants. (Scott Soames)

Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform which was to provide online services to websites (Rouse, 2014). Amazon is comprised of software development and customer service centers around the world (Rouse, 2014). At Amazon, workers are encouraged to tear apart one another’s ideas in meetings, toil long and late and held to unreasonably high standards (Kantor & Streitfeld, 2015).

Science seems to have always been interesting, just not in a classroom. School science classes bored me. To me, it was just memorizing vocabulary. It was always science outside of school that excited me. I remember as a child I would spend Saturday afternoon parked in front of the basement T.V., my eyes glued to the screen during the Discovery channels Mythbuster marathons. I loved watching the Mythbusters use science to solve problems to do tasks. Even if, that task was often causing something to go catastrophically wrong. Mythbusters made me take notice of the everyday things around me that, in all actuality, were super complex. This curiosity extended beyond those T.V. Saturdays. Soon enough I was playing in the backyard trying to make potions

As a child, science had always been a significant interest for me. Growing up, I watched the show Bill Nye the Science Guy with passion and curiosity. I wanted to know more about the topics he spoke about and the background behind these ideas. It was not until high school that my inquisitiveness for science was fully answered. It was 9th grade honors Biology and I had never experienced a science course as in depth and thorough.

I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with science. From a young age, I remember searching through the internet to answer every question I had and asking my parents - both with PhDs - about the world around me. One day, I discovered a documentary: Battlefield Cell. In that moment, I was hooked on learning and had a problem I wanted to solve.

My adventure with science began in childhood. The initial appeal of it was how challenging some questions could be. Over time my interests started to gradually shift towards mathematics, because I always felt the need to look for general solutions to the problems I faced. While I still have a keen interest in physics I tend to fell more comfortable when doing mathematics. I find the beauty of its abstractions and the ability to address a wide range of problems by generalizing them, to be unparalleled.

As a matter of fact, I have always love the topic of science, however, I didn’t watch the shows that taught science for young children because, my parents thought a talking dog and his friends solving mysteries was the best choice for me. I don’t regret that decision at all. Science in

I find science and engineering to be fascinating, specifically areas of biology such as marine biology and oceanography as well as environmental science. My interest in science was sparked by a project I did in Kindergarten on Blue Whales. When I was in second grade I had to research an animal and I chose a dolphin, which immediately became my favorite animal. I wanted to continue research on dolphins and whales outside of school. Unlike most kids that age, I would find time between dance and soccer practice, even before school to make powerpoints on dolphins. The following year, as a third grader I did a biography project on Dr. Sylvia A. Earle; a botanist, marine biologist, and oceanographer. I then researched Dr. Earle further for a project

Sciecnce has stimulated my imagination ever since i was in elementary school. I was always fascinated with the expriments and the fact that it was okay if the exprimient failed the frist few times. No matter what I was curious about the science behind everything. I would do my own expirements at my house in order to answer the questions that i had in my head. For example, I would see whats happens if a freeze something, or boil it, or even mix it with other sutff. I always had a question in my head and science was a way for me to get an answer. One of the reasons why i love science and a favorite reasons is because in science you can have mistakes and failures and learn from them.

Being a STEM amateur, the love of creation in science or math fueled by curiosity is something that I cherish. At a very young age, I was a natural investigator exploring the world by touch in order to quench my thirst for knowledge. Simple things such as toy cars and action figures were my books as I read them through the process of testing. I explored the laws of physics by constantly dropping and pushing my toys down the hallway, while learning mechanics by incessantly activating my action figure’s movement abilities. My meals where chemistry experiments mixing and matching different foods to view their binding qualities. As I grew older, I began to delve into more advance concepts with the increase of technology being incorporated into

The excitement of the fast-paced technology world peaked my interest throughout my high school career. As a member of my high school’s FIRST Robotics Club, designing and creating the desired motion of our robot was an eye-opening experience. After my involvement in robotics, I took it upon myself to register for an online AP Computer Science Class and to take advantage of a work study program with the information technology department. I strive to gain a knowledge base that will allow me to be a leader in the forefront of technological advancement: taking risks, improving lives, and changing the world.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Science grows and evolves just as my inspiration for it does. I have furthered this interest of mine by deciding to dedicate my entire future towards impacting both science and others with my biology major. I have been impacted by science since elementary because since my first time completing a lab in school, I have always been intrigued by the fact the I get to make a hypothesis and later discover if I was correct with my prediction. Although I never won any science experiment event at my school, I never gave up and I was always curious about the way living organisms function everywhere. As a result of always winning a participation ribbon, I was not interested in winning any sort of prize for my science experiments and I decided to complete

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.
