The feeling of wanting to know computers; Personal statement for admission to CS [5]
In the year of my A level examinations, I was doing well until
m id-year when I
started to face several family problems. Things were in a mess and it indefinitely
distracted me from my studies. I know that this shouldn't be an excuse and I have since learned
how I should have to
handle difficult
life situations properly and
having togoing through these challenges also
enabled me to become stronger as an individual. I understand that my A level results wasn't
excellent, however I believe I have the aptitude necessary to become successful.
Throughout my time as a team commander while doing national service and working for the past year, I have learnt skills such as dealing with the public , working under pressure and becoming a reliable and responsible person. These valuable life lessons and work experience have changed me to become who I am now and I'm confident that given the opportunity, I can become an asset and be of value to the society.
Before I left my job, my boss also wanted to give me a pay increment and assured me that he would welcome me back to the job anytime.
In my spare time, I practice Chinese calligraphy which I've started learning since 5. It helped me to develop strong patience which I find it to be beneficial for me when writing program, which could be frustrating at the beginning when I have no idea of what is going on.
Besides that I also exercise regularly, going for a run or swim every 2 days ensuring myself to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
As of current I am also furthering my knowledge of Internet programming by learning HTML, C++ and Python using online resources.
Looking to the future, I am very keen to pursue a career in the Computer Science sector as I believe it to be a dynamic and versatile area of work, with many exciting opportunities which provides many transferable skills essential for embracing future challenges.
There are
2two(it's best to spell it out, than writing the figure) fields which I would be particularly interested in after graduating. One is to work for the government. I want to
play a part in solving first sts to solve world problems and help create innovative solutions. I believe working at the government sector will help me stay true to my goals and realise what motivates me to study computer science, that is to serve the community and helping people who are in need .
By which I plan to create a software that is simple, efficient and useful for everyone, especially for the elderly as our country is shifting towards an ageing population.
The other would be working in the fields of research. I want to be part of the team which is at the forefront of next[fon generation's technology.
Be it working in my favourite game company to help develop and create new game content or going into research to develop the next generation virtual reality device.(It sounds a bit too conversational. You should be writing in more formal tone.) Specifically Oculus Rift, the company which Facebook had just bought over for 2 billion recently.
The bottom line is that I want to
be part of this exciting field. There are many options which I believe have yet to be explored and with Computer Science, I believe I can be success my goals
no matterregardless of where I go.
I am confident that this enthusiasm will combine with my strong determination and motivation, enabling me to succeed in the challenges that university presents.
Given the opportunity, I would do my best to meet and exceed the expectations required by the students attending your college.
I am very much motivated to also prove that I deserve a spot in your college and being able to let the admission committee feel that they have made the correct decision to accept me.
I would cherish what it is given and strive very hard to achieve my goals and ensure the resources provided will not go the waste.
I also like to be involve in voluntary work and help out the college in whichever way I can.
Thank you for reading.
** All the best to your application! However, it seems to be a bit long. Do they have a limited words in this?**
