My greatest encouragement in pursuing higher education was because of my father, who could not because of lack of funds. The way his life has suffered from it is my cause to make me have the drive to work harder, not just for personal success but also to repay him and make a better future for my descendants. His background demonstrates that education is perhaps the most effective weapon in transforming lives and I have vowed to harness it to the full potential of my personal development. My father who devoted his best years to livelihood in order to feed the family. He had to work through physically strenuous hours; a husband for whatever it took to make ends meet. Yet, though he worked incredibly hard and never gave up had to struggle with having no formal education when looked at in terms of career paths opened and financial position. I have seen how he had to fight so hard because of not having that qualification-a very strong reinforcement for me towards valuing education. It is obvious from his life that there is no substitute to hard work and perseverance and this combined with the ability to teach, opens up much broader opportunities than ordinarily possible. It's not just a personal aspiration, but rather a plan to assure the future in which poverty and lack don't condition the opportunity. I would like to learn Information Technology at the University of North Texas this area of study is particularly interesting to me because of the numerous exciting revolutionary potential it possesses to tackle real world challenges. Technology is always evolving, and I wish to contribute to that evolution through using my skills to help others. Most of all, I would like to give some of that back in an attempt to open doors for others. I definitely, harbor the most ambitious idea of an internship program for those who wanted to work in IT, and those from less privileged background. I am aware of how difficult it can be to find opportunities without a decent amount of resources or connections, so I'd like to be one of those people that help bridge the gap for future generations of IT professionals. Education is a prerequisite for success and I do not use this chance frivolously. I also understand that, studying the path of my own choice, I will be given the tools to shine. It will be a road to self-reliance and to the help for my family and it will also give a life meaning to my work as a community servant. So, wat fit in a world where people can't dream because they are impoverished, and that is the reason I am trying to be good at my studies. It is my father, who is, that has shaped me. His ability to stick around through thick and thin, his emotion, and all his hard work for our family have inspired me to work harder, dream more, and never go lower than what I can do. I want to fulfill his lifetime dream of what he couldn't do career success, and translate that into uplifting others. The road to a brighter future starts with education, and I intend to seize every single opportunity it presents.
