Raising from a poor family background, I haven’t had much choice but to rely on government funding for higher education. During that period, I was accepted to local university for my first degree in AAA. Although my greatest desire was to study computer related subjects but rejecting the funding was not an option at that time. Eventually, I graduated and now working as a AA in *** company.

During a year in ***, I have equipped and developed my communication skills and passion for computer as my work involved in product marketing and customer’s database. Although I don’t acquire much proper training, my employer entrust me by giving a lot computer related task such as developing databases and networking. I perform and handle well even though my job require constant pressure and meeting deadline. Despite that, i still find some to improve my computer skills from programming, firewall and networking by reading and lately, I have been thinking of attending Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) courses provided by ABC Technologies Centre. But to be accepted and excel in computing sectors I needed a stronger base and more understanding about computer and not just technical skills provided by MCSE and CCNA training. This is why I chose conversion program to improve and broaden my foundation and knowledge as well as the environment to develope my practical skills.

Upon completion , I plan to commit myself in IT sector especially in networking. As networking demand high level of technical skills and knowledge, MCSE and CCNA definitely will be in my future portfolio. It’s through computing that I feel I can serve best and fulfill my childhood dreams.
