Personal Statement: Why I Want To Study Computer Science

There was a time in the past when jobs and occupations were clearly slow

and dreary and there was limited scope of rapid growth and achievement,

while today every job and business is driven by ambition, achievement,

competition, challenges and such other facts that have made the world

materialistically very pleasurable and careers have undergone a sea

change. Today’s generation thinks big, aspires for the impossible, dreams

of creating new vistas. I am fortunate to be competing at the current time

and to be able to benefit by technological advances, imagination, ambition

and burning desire. All such qualities are clearly important to ensure that

everybody who believes can make it big, and I too belong to this generation
I would now like to throw light on my interest to study Computer Science,

beginning with an incident in my childhood in which my father bought a

Laptop for the first time. We had, till then, access to a not very new

Personal Computer which did not attract my attention. My father was

convinced that Computers will have a defining role to play in the future, and

that this will be the chosen field for the best talent for careers and business

opportunities. How true he was!! I actually consider my dad no less than

any other visionary, just that he did not have the resources and

opportunities to explore and pursue a career that is driven by ideas and

ambition. I wish to fill that void, because my dad dreams through me and

wishes to fulfill his incomplete dream career in Information Technology.

I worked very hard to secure a seat in GITAM University, which then was

considered a major achievement, and that I got Computer Science as a

major in a dream institution for seriously career inclined students, and
I realized that I need to

supplement my under-graduate study with a Masters’ study in a leading

University in USA, and on this, my seniors and Professors have been of

great assistance. I am keen to take up a Masters’ in Computer Science, for

which I am adequately equipped with my depth of knowledge in the subject

which is also my major in my undergraduate course. I have strong

knowledge in subjects like C, Data Structures, DBMS, Software

Engineering etc, which are part of my syllabus. I am also pursuing

courses like Java, .net and Software Testing in a leading Computer

Training Center so that I do not fall short of the required knowledge for a

study in Computer Science. I have also got selected in 3 Campus

Recruitment jobs in IT Majors, which is proof of my current IT Knowledge.

I am at a juncture in my career in which I need a launching pad for my

career to take off. The knowledge that I acquired till date is good enough

for me to get a job and I have been selected by a couple of MNCs in

Campus Recruitments, but I am determined to supplement my already

deep knowledge in my subjects with world-class and updated
