Undergraduate / Personal Statement; Tell us more about you and why you are considering VCU/ International Transfer [6]
Merged:
I took so much time to get the prompt right as I drifted from what it was really asking of me. So here is what I finally came up with. Please tell me your thoughts.
Computers have played an integral part of my life since childhood, largely because of my father's unflinching enthusiasm for technology.
This enthusiasm rubbed off incredibly well on me by inspiring me to initiate and lead an all-girls club in Akwamuman Senior High school with similar interests. The club's (Step-Up Girls Club, established in 2011) sole aim was to build individual skills and basic computer training. I was able to introduce them to the fundamentals such as the internet. With this, we were able to do in depth research and create our own study community among others.
It is my firm belief that with the right training in Information and Computer Technology from a reputable institution like yours, I will be well placed not just to fulfil my personal ambitions but make a great impact on my country.
I aspire to introduce ICT to the teeming youth of my country especially women and girls in an attempt to help bridge the widening gap between the rich and the poor by making opportunities in for job creation in ICT available to them.
I hold a Diploma in Information Technology from the Koforidua Technical University in Ghana. I chose to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems at Virginia Commonwealth University because of its sizeable student-to-faculty ratio and the astounding diverse culture. I strongly believe this environment will inspire me to exchange ideas with students from all walks of life. Also, the availability of innovative facilities alongside the department's partnership with various software companies and faculties, makes it equally attractive. I have a strong desire to increase my understanding of the technological advancements of the world and VCU appears to be the ultimate destination for me.
