Great people have penned poems, letters, and essays on what a dream means and how
to face
it. Such extracts of beautiful poetry that I learnt my childhood have provided me
the impetus
all the way through my education. At this stage, I wish to accomplish my long term
goal of
being a research person in the field of computer science by pursuing the Masters of
Science
degree in the field of Computer Sciences in your university. In order to compete in
a global
environment, with abundance of opportunities in the field of computers, I selected
‘University of Houston’.
I wish to state certain instances of my schooling, secondary education and under
graduation
which shaped me and inspired me to choose the field of “computer science”. Basic
lessons
of life were taught to me by my mother. Being a teacher by profession, she has
taught me that
determination and perseverance to win all the time and nurtured various ethics of
life like
discipline, respect, and singularity of purpose right from my childhood.
Computer Sciences has always been the wildest dream of my life. As with every
field, we
learn by experience(s). My preliminary fascination for computers arose when I
learnt LOGO
and BASIC in the elementary grades. From that day, I have been with Computers in
some
assignment, say schooling, undergraduate lab works, or my present day student
internship of
developing software for organizations. On securing good grades in school, I chose
Mathematics and Sciences as the majors in Secondary Education. Through this phase
of
education, I could improve myself over the logical and analytical ability.
“The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the
acquisition of it.”
In order to improve my knowledge, I started with my effectively coded C programs in
my
earlier stage of undergraduate course and I finally taught myself to adapt to new
languages as
per the trend. I succeeded in teaching myself a variety of languages, ranging from
the most
used object oriented programming language of C++ to the trendsetter languages like
J2EE.
This plethora of benefits aroused my passion for the subject which instigated me to
work on
various software oriented projects.
At this last stage of my under graduation, the world of 1’s and 0’s has always been
fascinating me and it continues to amaze me with its simplicity yet complexity. The
college I
did my under graduation gave me the opportunity to gain first hand knowledge of
different
fields of computer science and identify what I feel compelled to focus on in my
career. I
found that computer science is the area that truly piqued my interest. Hence, with
my
excellent academic background and programming experience along with the verdant
enthusiasm for research studies, a Master’s degree in my much adored field of
computers is
the next logical step I could take.
Hence, I would be very delighted to see myself in your university in the Graduate
program of
Computer Science Department, working with your highly qualified staff and with
suitable
financial aid. I am very passionate to master the various cutting edge technologies
that your
university is presenting me with. I, therefore, am hoping to combine hard work with
my
make-your-dreams-come-true attitude, for the fulfillment of my future endeavors.
Looking forward to be a part of the International Community.
