Changsun Moon On my 11th birthday, my mother, who runs a grocery wholesaler company, bought me a 8-bit personal computer and a book called “BASIC” (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), which my peers had never seen before. This gift changed my life. I was fascinated by the BASIC program (which was not exactly basic to me at first). After more experience, I found BASIC somewhat limited in light of application, so I turned to the “Assembly” language as an alternative. I had great fun learning to control hardware through this Assembly language, and since then, I have envisioned becoming a computer programmer. While I attended junior high school in the late 1980s, computers became very popular in Korea. Innumerable private institutes offered computer-programming courses. Unfortunately, I came to realize that my computer ran short of capacity for various functions. I started working at my mother’s company to earn money to purchase an advanced computer on which I could apply PASCAL, COBOL, FORTRAN, and, most important, C. Thanks to a bookkeeping program I devised for the company, I earned the $1,500 necessary for a brand new 286 personal computer faster than I had expected. Meanwhile, it was gratifying for me to witness my bookkeeping program save my mother’s company more than $20,000 annually. The experience gave me immense self-satisfaction, awakened my business acumen, and helped me form the goal to run my own computer program developing and consulting company. My long-time fascination in computers allowed me to enjoy the respect of my fellow computer wizards, not to mention many novices. But it also made me pay. My grades on most subjects indicated that my fundamental academic basis had significantly suffered. After long gallivanting on artificial intelligence soils, I at last started concentrating on my studies in order to go to college for more extensive and intensive computer study. Through firm determination and persistent efforts, my grades through my junior and senior years soared. In 10th grade, I had belonged to the 13th percentile group; I surprised myself and all my friends and teachers by jumping to the 57th percentile the next semester. I eventually upgraded my academic status to the 80th percentile. This academic success allowed me to enter XX University. Soon after I entered University in the spring, I encountered an overwhelming disparity between what I envisioned and what I actually learned. I felt that my college education lacked practicality and was useless to me. I quit my studies in the middle of the first semester, deciding to educate myself in the actual computer industry. Two years of intensive involvement in a computer company from production department to customer service department gave me invaluable lessons. I could broaden my hands-on knowledge base on hardware as well as on software including JAVA, JAVA script, HTML programs, as well as Web development skills with the help of my educated colleagues. This experience made me realize that higher education in computer science would play a primary role in achieving my dreams. Arduous on- and off-line search for the best educational opportunity helped me decide to come to the United States to nourish my academic development in richer academic environment. I actively used my two and a half years of military service to command better English. Every military operation, drill, and daily duty in the Korean Augmentation Troops to the United States Army allowed me to learn fluent English communication and presentation skills. My effective and devoted service rewarded me with an Army Achievement Medal. I was honorably discharged as a sergeant (E-5). This experience built my confidence and encouraged me to retake the Korean SAT exam in 1999. Because I was ranked in the upper 2.3th percentile, I was admitted by the department of English at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, where I could best prepare for future studies in the United States. I have seriously thought about my long- and short-term goals and concluded it is time to challenge myself to learn more profound theories and various tangible applications at the best educational institution. I am confident that the department of Computer Science at Boston University, with its remarkable academic tradition, world-renowned faculty, and wide and flexible coursework scheme will endow me with a superb specialty in computer science. I believe the experience will develop me both academically and practically and eventually help me contribute effectively to society as a capable business leader. I am confident that my unconventional experiences and intuition will enrich the academic and professional development of my enthusiastic peers from other cultures.] Directory: download -> profile -> attached download -> Northern England’s set-jetting locations download -> Bbc archives: Beyond the programme download download -> Occupational health and safety download -> Dynatest 3031 lwd light Weight Deflectometer download -> Forth coming competitive exams download -> English Olympiad Tasks: 10 th form Аудіювання, 10 клас.
