Strong people - GKS-U personal statement, major- cse.

personal statement for scholarship application

I grew up in a family with two very strong people, my parents. Being a farmer's child, financial difficulties have always been a hindrance in my way. Growing up in a poor family made me mature at a very young age. My parents used to pretend to be happy all the time, but I realised the truth. Even though we were in bad shape, they educated me perfectly and taught me to live under all circumstances. I have been a hard-working student and have consistently been in the top five in my class. After clearing the engineering entrance exam with good marks, I started looking for a scholarship. I learned about GKS from my senior this August and immediately started preparing.

When I was in 6th grade, our IT teacher discussed simulation theory. It states that the world is made up of programmes. Although this turned out to be false, my perspective on the world has changed dramatically. I gained an interest in computers and algorithms. I used to be fascinated by every new gadget around me, eager to learn something new. Korea's being the global innovation hub and tech companies' holding great potential really attracted me. Asian countries are leading in technology, and Korea has the crown. Samsung, Hyundai, and LG are some of the legendary achievements. There are many startups like 5minlab, S2W, etc. In my opinion, this will rule the internet world. As I am interested in computer science, Korea will be my best choice.

I was the head girl of my school for two years, which made me impressively good at multitasking. I can grasp anything so quickly. Since I am trilingual, learning Korean will not be difficult for me. I can learn Korean in a short span of time. I have a deep attraction to sports and sketching. I was a girl who excelled not only in studies but also in other curricular activities. I have been good at mathematics since elementary school, which is the reason some parts of coding and some concepts in my chosen major are not that difficult for me. With finances in mind, I never forced my parents to take me to any paid competitions. This must be the reason I have fewer extracurricular certificates.

My little brother and sister will never need to compromise as our family's condition is improving. So I don't want to be a hurdle to their future by letting my parents pay a huge amount for university. Fortunately, South Korea is offering an incredible opportunity for needy and hardworking students. I would be really grateful if I could get selected and complete my dream by having a quality education.

The essay is highly personal in content. This application is clearly very dear to the student and he is very interested in continuing his studies, not necessarily in Korea. Korea only became a consideration because of the scholarship. So everything about this essay is personal and relevant to a personal statement. It lacks clear motivations based upon the additional information considerations of the personal and motivational statement writing guidelines. Make sure to respond to all of the questions, not just the personal aspect of the discussion. If the writer only wants to know if his ideas are relevant to the prompt so far then yes, it is relevant as far as this writing goes, but not as far as all the written interview requirements are concerned. Review the writing guide and make sure to cover all of the necessary information in the presentation. The essay should be far longer than this current presentation. This one, is still incomplete as far as the prompts are concerned.

Thank you for your response. I will make sure next time it is perfect.

The guidelines has already told what to writes in the essay, if you can't really grasp what the guidelines told you, then maybe start by answering each question of the guidelines accordingly
