Q2. What are the motivations behind your interests in pursuing a degree in KAIST and presumably a career in Engineering or Sciences? The reason why I want to follow a computer science career began when I was fifteen. Starting from a math-specialized student in secondary school, I riskily registered for informatics as my major in high school. Surprisingly, from simple lines of a primitive program to concise algorithms for solving complicated problems, everything was appealing to me right at the very first time I learn programming. They unveiled a whole new world behind the familiar interfaces of computers, explained many things that I used to ambiguously call “technology”. Enlightened by such amazing subject, I decided to spend more and more time for computer-related activities. I started training seriously for competitive programming contests, translated and wrote academic articles about algorithms for informatics department’s books. I also founded a small group of students whose members share the same hobby of computer but interest in various subfields. Throughout three years in high school, those activities not only sharpened my knowledge and enhanced my social relationships, but also gradually brought up my fervent love for computer. Such miracle machine now has become an indispensable part of my life, and computer’s world has become my passion. Therefore, …show more content…

The current job specifications for the store manager position at CompTech is that they must have either a MBA degree or have at least 3 years of store manager experience to be hired as a new manager. Additionally, the district managers seem to have a persuading effect on the hiring process where there is no room for compromise when these terms are not met as they want. Another aspect, of the hiring process for these store managers have the company searching the country through high cost advertising that reveals that internal promotion is deemed either ineffective or unwanted by the distict managers and higher management. Based on this phenomenon it is clear that internal training and mentoring is not very effective within CompTech. Their hiring

1.Tell us about yourself, your family, community and why you have decided to pursue a post-secondary education and your field of study?
When I was in middle school, I had totally no idea of what Computer Science is, but I was pretty proficient in using computers at that age. The only thing that I knew about Computer Science is that one of my aunts is in that field and that’s all, nor of my parents are in that major. Not until in High School that I got the sense of what programming is like. I was taught basic simple codings and I really enjoyed it and thought that the class was actually quite fun. But the class didn’t give me any sense of the important real-world applications of Computer Science. Not until recently as I am in the Computer Science major, I started to really have the real idea and to gain real passion for the field. Computer Science is not all about programming.
The urge to achieve and prove myself among the greats in the history of science has been my ambition from the days I was first introduced to the captivating concepts of science and engineering. The mental ability to approach a problem with the right blend of logic and reasoning has supported me in inching towards my goal. As a first step out of Grad school I decided to take up challenging career in Healthcare IT, the only field that requires comprehensive understanding of the basics of Life Science and the flair to exploit the fascinating field of Healthcare Information Technology. I had completed Master of Science from Mississippi College which is located at Clinton, MS, USA. After completing my Masters had got opportunity to work at Multinational
Physics or Computer Science? That was the dilemma I faced four years ago when I had to choose a major. Although I enjoyed programming, and was often told that I had a natural flair for it by my school teachers, it was physics that had always captured my imagination and aroused my curiosity. Nothing equaled my euphoria at gaining an additional insight into the universe. Consequently, I decided to abandon programming and pursue a career in theoretical physics. I now know that I made the right choice, as my love for physics has grown much stronger; I was particularly fascinated by topics in gravitation and cosmology. However, I also came to realize that it was possible to apply my aptitude for programming to further our knowledge of physics. Thus the field of computational astrophysics offered me the best of both worlds. Numerical simulations are the sole means to explore systems that are too distant in space and time to be observed directly and too complex to be solved analytically. The prospect of harnessing the ever increasing power of state-of-the art computing machines to unravel the mysteries of the
Banking on an excellent academic record coupled with a keen interest in the ever-growing field of science and technology motivated me to take up engineering.
