Taking Cybersecurity Classes - Personal Statement Example

I believe that an individual never stops learning, and thus I have endeavored to continue this process in a direction that will aid my overall ambitions. Since I was a young child, I have had a vivid interest in the workings of technology, and I found the computer to be a fascinating invention that I could not wait to explore. This fascination I admit played a large role in the path that I took in both my academic and career-related journeys, and it remains a high motivation to this day.

My academic objectives can be divided into two sections, long-term and short-term objectives. My general objective at the moment is the acquirement of additional knowledge that would serve me in my career operations. Taking cybersecurity classes would increase my basis of knowledge in IT and related subjects thus allowing me to not only expand my area of expertise but improve on the existing ones as well. The overall objective mentioned above can be seen as the leading long-term objective in my academic path. I am aware that this would require my whole concentration on the achievement of these objectives in order to progress in this particular aim. I believe that my previous experiences, however, will serve me in successfully achieving this endeavor. My previous studies in India concerning web programming languages enabled me to develop a steady and applicable approach to new academic challenges in my life. This was because apart from the study of the various languages (which included PHP, MySQL, and asp.net), I also enrolled for an online course on DB analyzing on www.coursera.com. This was at the same time as my web language courses that helped develop my personal organization and prioritization skills.

My research interests lie in the world of E-commerce, and my main career plan is growing the business that I established with two other partners after my studies. This company offers web solutions for any company with (or in need of) an online platform. This business will be able to achieve this growth through the additional expertise I will gain from the cybersecurity classes. About my qualifications, I have a number of past achievements that I believe put me in the driver’s seat for additional success should I continue to apply myself. As a student, my graduation project was able to win first place in Salman bin Abdulaziz University in the year 2013. The project was done with three other students and was categorized in the scientific and engineering colleges section. I also had the pleasure of being one of the 26 students chosen by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take part in a Saudi Indian Youth Forum in 2012. I was also one of the ten students chosen by the UNDP to take part in a Peace boat for its 73rd voyage to talk about peace in Islam.
