Undergraduate / PERSONAL STATEMENT FOR USEFP SEMESTER EXCHANGE PROGRAM [2]
I'm applying for a US semester exchange program. These are the guidelines for personal statement essay:
1. yourself in terms of interests and personality
2. academic objectives
3. goals in terms of field of study and personal development
4. Reasons you wish to pursue them in USA & the type of program you hope to pursue and how it relates to your interests and future objectives
Here's what I've written. I would be thankful if anyone proof-reads it for me to check for grammatical mistakes, or anything else that seems out-of-place or needs to be added.
I'm not sure if I've discussed point 4 in detail. The essay is also supposed to provide guideline for placement committee (if selected).
Studying from a Christian school has allowed me to meet people with diverse backgrounds from a very young age. It has taught me to embrace diversity and to respect others' perspectives and opinions. Knowing about different people and sharing life experiences also fascinates me. Solving puzzles and playing brain teasing games which enable me to challenge and redefine my thinking capabilities is one of my hobbies and it also contributes in developing skills like logical thinking, quick decision making and problem solving, which are highly valued in fields like software engineering.
The world of technology has always intrigued me. Studying software engineering was my childhood dream. It is the field where my devotion and passion resides. I wish to learn the latest software development tools and skills from best possible resources.
My goal is to use my skills to be a positive influence on society. I wish to contribute in technological development of Pakistan. One of the projects I've visualized is to develop an Artificial Intelligence based voice interface for visually impaired people, to make using smartphones, computers and others electronic gadgets convenient and user friendly.
USA is the 3rd fastest growing technological country and is known for its world class academia. To get an opportunity to travel and study a semester in USA will not only be highly beneficial in academic point of view, but representing Pakistan and learning the American values will further improve my self-confidence and will help broadening my perspective of the world.
