Answer:

Introduction

I was born and brought up in India, where I pursued my engineering degree in RIMT Institute of Engineering and Technology. After years of hardships and dedicated hard work, I finally got the chance to study in United States of America after obtaining my visa.

This is my personal statement, which describes about my academic history, my career goals, cultural understanding and personal hardships. I am confident that my skills and proficiency in the computer programming are sufficient for earning me a place in the Masters Program in the University of Washington. This personal statement is a reflection of my skills, educational qualification and academic success.

Career Statement

Academic History

I started studying in a local nursery school when I was 4 years old. I completed high school and higher secondary school from my locality with high grades. I opted to study Engineering when I was 17. I completed my engineering degree with distinction in Computer Science Engineering from RIMT Institute of Engineering and Technology. I also cleared the qualification tests for studying in universities in USA with a high percentile.

Major Career Goals

I wish to pursue higher studies on engineering. After receiving my visa for United States of America, my current aim is to apply for Masters in Computer Programming at the United States of America. This is my field of interest because I feel computers are unique and revolutionary and I have profound sense of curiosity on the subject. From the graphics to other impacts of the machine on the world, computers are very valuable and interesting devices that have the potential to change the course of humanity. I believe that my passion in the field of computers can help me excel at University of Washington (UW). In addition, my personal mission is to see happiness in my parents’ eyes when I complete my masters from UW Tacoma. UW’s Masters Program will help me achieve both personal and professional goals. Beyond doubts, UW Tacoma plays a leading role in the field of computer science and programming. I am confident that I can face any challenge that comes my way to fulfill my career goals.

Cultural Understanding

I was brought up in a country, where not many people have opportunities to chase their dreams. My country has people from different backgrounds and diverse cultural practices. When I arrived at United States in 2014, I felt life is very different in this country than my homeland.  UW Tacoma holds diverse staff and student population, and it helps me to get accustomed to various cultures of the world. I have realized that when people interact with others with different backgrounds, they gain better understanding and better tolerance for other cultures. My cultural background will help me get mixed in the diverse cultural environment of UW Tacoma.

Personal Hardships

I am from a country where not everyone has the chance or resources to pursue their dreams. I am no different from this situation. My father is a government employee and my mother is a schoolteacher. They sacrificed their luxurious life for funding my studies and career. They wanted to provide me with the best education and a successful career. Their sacrifice, hard work motivated me to work hard and chase my dreams. I am not perfect, but it just drives me to be even better. I do feel pressure to become successful because of what my parents sacrificed. However, I know that my success is my responsibility. Thinking about my parents’ sacrifice, I strive to make sure I have no regrets in the work I accomplish. I love the field of computers, and that passion can only help me excel at UW Tacoma. Although I have limited resources to study abroad, I am confident that I will be able to get admission including a scholarship in the university so that I can pursue the Masters Program.

Conclusion

A seed of a tree needs fertile land and sufficient resources to become a tree. Similarly, University of Washington is the place that can provide me with all the resources for my academic growth. UW Tacoma provides the richest academic environment for the students pursuing their dreams. The university provides rich international background, excellent facilities, open academic environment, characteristic and precious academic thoughts, which form a huge academic reservoir. I am confident that I can absorb a lot of knowledge from the huge academic reservoir of UW Tacoma and become successful in the field of computer programming engineering. I hope I can get admission and scholarship for my Masters Program at the university.
