Writing
Personal essay
Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a
new understanding of yourself or others.

I am so grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me, and I do not regret the choices I
have made in my life through those opportunities. I have lived a very unique and special life,
learning a vast number of lessons along the way. In my life, I have travelled abroad, exposing me
to new cultures and have adapted in a way that was accepted by those cultures. I have traveled to
a different state with my families to attend a program that taught me the importance of
enthusiasm and positive reinforcement. Due to the opportunities given to me, and the lessons I
have learned throughout my life, I am confident in saying that I am well-adapted. I have had
experience in assisting my families in the day to day running of her small childminding business. I
regularly volunteer to assist with setting up database, which has helped cultivate my skills and
knowledge of working in that particular environment. I felt I was very motivated by the position I
had, which will help me in my university lifestyle as it involved communication, assessing and
resolving situations.

Over the past few years, I have been highly interested in the area of computing; particularly in
Software Engineering and Computer Systems. This interest has stemmed from my previous
experience during my studies in school and college, as I quickly became intrigued by the impact of
computing and technology on the modern world.

Studying Computing has expanded my outlook on the impact that Information Technology has on
a modern, globalized society; in particular the development of vehicular systems, industry and
hospitality, for example life support systems and disease research. I have also become
increasingly aware of the ethical issues surrounding the use of IT systems, such as environmental
concerns, the impact of social media and security of personal data.

I first became interested in Software Engineering as a child, and remember being fascinated by the
technical aspect of IT systems such as games consoles, computers and handheld devices. I
became very attentive to the way in which IT systems were set up, and would practice by assisting
my family members with any relevant issues. I have gained significant knowledge through
studying Business, as it has provided insight into how a business may make use of computing
systems, and how valuable research conducted into Software engineering is for the success and
profitability of a company. I have an insatiable curiosity for my subject that will be valuable when
individual study is demanded of me, and this is an aspect of the course that particularly enthuses
me. I have the ultimate ambition of becoming a software engineer and hope that with my
qualifications gained at university this will be a goal well within my reach. Software
engineering/Computer science is a career that whilst the need for and use of computers in society
progresses, the opportunities in this realm will become ever more exciting and engaging and I look
forward to the time when I can progress into professional life.
