My journey starts in Rwanda, a small country in East Africa. It started after I excelled in the national examination, an exam for high school students pursuing college admission, and got rewarded a scholarship to study college in the US. The experience I gained throughout my scholarship period, research, and background inspired me to pursue graduate studies. This goal has been an important reason for both my education and life pathways.
In Rwanda, my country of birth, there is a presidential scholarship program by the government of Rwanda. It aims at motivating ambitious and excellent students. In this program, the president of the republic of Rwanda awards scholarships to the best students who perform well in a high school national exam …show more content…

My ambition is to contribute to promoting education and technology in Rwanda and other countries with a low higher education rate due to lack of qualified teachers. I would like to give the best of myself: serving, teaching, mentoring, and transmitting my knowledge to others. Many talents are hidden in people who do not have someone to help them reveal their potentials. So, I hope for a better future where good education will be accessible to everyone. In addition, I want to do research as a professor so that I can contribute to the development of the research community as well.
My research experience has helped me to develop critical scientific skills, better understand computer concepts, and develop a deep interest in doing research. I have gained skills in computer science, which have given me great insight in the field of technology. Furthermore, throughout my journey in the US, I have refined my ability to work independently, and I have acquired communication skills valuable for a graduate school candidate.Therefore, If I am admitted into this program, I assure you to bring a valuable contribution to the computer science community at the University of Arkansas at Little
