I have been on many roads in my life. I started on the rough dirt roads of Chennai, India. When I was three, my family moved to America, and I have moved five more times since. Each time, my family followed new roads to new cities, where new challenges and opportunities awaited. As I’ve grown older, I have begun to focus on a different road: a road to my future. Attending college has been an ongoing dream throughout my life. Reaching the big leagues would be one of my major goals and accomplishments. I wish to become a software engineer and follow my dreams to achieve success. Coding and engineering have continually given me comfort in my heart and have allowed me to escape personal challenges. Furthermore, coding is a very important aspect …show more content…

Prosper ISD has five main points in its graduate profile, each with its own specific value and meaning. First, Prosper ISD believes that students should exhibit academic readiness. This means that students must be able to prepare for the future and learn in a way that will help them succeed past their high school years. I exhibit this quality as I am taking numerous AP-weighted classes, including AP Pre-Calculus, AP US History, and AP Physics. These are college-level classes that help thrust my learning level forward. Also, I am taking AP Statistics, Computer Science 3, AP Computer Science Principles, and hopefully Prosper Career Independent Study. These endorsement classes help boost my confidence about how I am going to survive in college and the real world with actual jobs. These classes enhance my knowledge of computer science, which is the main field I wish to pursue. Next, Prosper ISD needs its graduates to seek opportunities and challenges in learning. I apply to this particular standard because I am taking various AP classes, all of which prove to be a huge burden, but I take these classes because I love challenging myself and pushing through them. I also wish to take PCIS, which steps out of my comfort zone as I have to talk to mentors and do things without everything being on a silver platter given to me.

was born in a small town in Texas known as Laredo. It was a poor city and was basically the border town to Mexico, it was always a mess, always hot, and only snowed once in 2002. Even though the city I was born in was harsh place, I had a great family that raised me well and taught me how to be respectful to my elders. Home was always different, every 2 to 3 years we always moved around so I really didn’t have many friends, until I moved to San Antonio is where I found a great home in 2007, the neighborhood was filled with nice people and each house actually had a lawn and not just broken cars or dried dirt in the front porches.

The main factor that drew me to Rutgers University was the wide variety of options available to students. Rutgers is a large research university with many major choices; I believed that I would be able to find the major that was best for me. After reviewing my options thoroughly, I have come to the decision that the Information Technology and Informatics major is everything that I want to get out of my education. The ITI program not only encourages students to understand how information technologies work, but also how they affect society; I am sure that having such an understanding will allow me to work up to my highest potential. In addition, I value the non-technical skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving, that the ITI program will help me develop.

A significant experience that has a meaning to me was when I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Moving from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia had the biggest impact on my life, because I know, from what others experience, when moving to a whole other state, you have to step out of your comfort zone. You have to leave your family behind and you also have to leave your old friends behind and try to make new friends. Moving to another state, it’s like starting a new life.

I have never stayed in one place for too long. My father is a man of motion, he hates to sit still. He always has to be doing something. There is always somewhere to be, some time he needs to be there. As a result, I am a product of many places, many moments lost in transition, having to sling my rucksack over my shoulder and move on, leaving a piece of my story behind as I trudge on in search of new adventures.

I moved around the world, and saw opportunities ahead of me. I learned new cultures and tasted new dishes that inspired me to explore the world. When I first came to Jakarta, Indonesia, I visualized myself experiencing a life that will be memory or a disaster I’ll never forget. One stupid experience was when my friends and I drew on a white chalk to make the chalk look like a cigarette, and put the chalk in our mouths, so that we looked like kids who smoked. I also experienced going to Bali, Indonesia, and swimming almost every day while realizing that I can choose to face a challenge now or never like a girl replacing her sister for her own life to play in the games of death.
