Topic: DESCRIBE HOW YOUR UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES MIGHT ENABLE YOU TO CONTRIBUTE TO
IMPROVING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
It's so surprising to note that so many centuries have come and gone but none have
created so much hype as the 21st century.
There is no doubt that the 21st century is going to be an age of " information super
highway ". I wish to major in computer engineering-a field where innovations are the
order of the day. It's been a long and troublesome journey from the Stone Age to today's
PC revolution. It's known that there is dearth of computer professionals in the third
world, it's imperative that they catch up with the computer phenomenon in the 21st
century.
I would like traveling around these needy countries, educating people by building some
sort of computer network to get things moving. This will empower the people with a tool
to see for them how the world is shaping up? This would create a much better human race
with every person getting an equal opportunity to hone his or her respective skills.
That's what living on this beautiful earth is all about, after all " all men are created
equal" is not a purely textual term it needs to be practised too and what better way to
start my career than helping the underprivileged.
In the 21st century we must eliminate nuclear weapons through treaties such as
COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY (CTBT), which call on member states to disarm.
I am very eager to promote peace in the world, through my studies at Polytechnic in
computer engineering I could go on and volunteer as a scientist who could help in
dismantling nuclear weapons by computer controlled techniques.
This would be the greatest contribution I could make in the 21st century. What else could
a person ask but a society where after such a turbulent 20th century one could live in a
place where no nation threatens to wipe out the " thousands of years old " human
civilization with just a tiny nucleus.
