Achieving Success in Future 

Science and Technology plays a major role in today’s world. Since my childhood, I like to learn science subjects. After completing my O/L, I decided to follow BIT Degree in APIIT. It helps me to improve not only my IT knowledge, but also to improve my other skills such as meeting deadlines, team work, etc. Successfully completing my Degree with a First Class is one of the biggest goals in my life.

Achieving a First Class is not an easy task; therefore I always work according to a timetable to meet tough deadlines and always target higher grades for my subjects. Currently, I am studying in Level one and plan to allocate more time for Level two and Level three. My plan is to get an “A” grade for the Final Year Project. With the help of my parents and lecturers I believe, that I can achieve this goal.

I also plan to complete the Fundamental Java Examination within this year. I believe this will be an additional qualification for me. I optimize my free time to learn Java without affecting my usual degree studies.

After completing the degree, my next major goal is to go for an internship in a well-reputed company. From this I hope to get industry experience as much as possible. I plan to start my career as an associate Software Engineer. For this I believe having a good trainee experience is really important. Therefore, I hope to get the maximum out of my experience.

My next goal is to find a good job in a well-reputed organization. When selecting my career I consider not only the salary, but also the other benefits provided by the company. With the knowledge that I gained from my degree and the experience that I got from my traineeship, I will be able to go through the interviews.

After gaining some work experience, my next goal is to follow Masters in IT at Staffordshire University, UK. I believe this will help me to further improve my knowledge in IT. From the beginning of the career I hope to allocate a part of my salary for my Masters program. I can go further up in my career by completing Masters.

Becoming a Software Engineer with a higher salary will help me to purchase a house and a car with the help of a bank loan.

To accomplish the above goals within next five years, I will have to face a lot of obstacles. But, I believe that I can overcome them successfully with a good plan and by hard working. By achieving above goals in five years, I can be who I want to be in Five years.
