01b00Why I want to pursue B.S. in Telecommunication.02b02br
02br
01b00I am lucky to have been born02b00 with a technical mind. I have always taken interest in technologies and mechanical sciences. I still remember once my father bought a rounded rectangular device with an antenna fixed on the top, and began talking on it. It relates to the days when the mobile phone was first introduced. At that time, I would be in grade 4 or 5. I wondered how one could speak with another through such a small device. It was like a toy - 00 00a plaything. I broke it in order to know what was inside it that could enable one to talk to another so easily. I couldn’t find anything but some chips, cards, a board and a battery. Of course, my father rebuked me a lot 01b00for it was too expensive, but that02b00 didn’t put an end to my curiosity. However, 01b00it was not the only technology that intrigued me02b00, other miracles of science like how the radio works and the internet astonished me too.00 00As I grew older, my curiosity got bigger.02br
02br
00I have been interested in telecommunication for some years, in fact since school. I’ve narrowed my goal to become a telecommunication designer and planner. I would like to do something in this field that can help00 00facilitate the ongoing global dialogue by making hardware or software for phone, satellite or other communications networks. Through my academic experience and interest, I became more aware of subfields of telecommunication. Specifically, I would like to be a telecommunication engineer in an international organization. I would like to focus on optical communication, systems designing and security. To reach my professional goals, I know I will have to work very hard to achieve 01b00my objectives02b00 of gaining the knowledge and the engineering skills necessary to be highly sought-after in, and to keep pace with, the rapidly advancing Telecommunications industry,00 00and to improve my ability to think more strategically and technically. 02br
02br
00In conclusion, the reasons why I want to pursue my career in telecommunication are its fascination and my exuberance. And I know that pursuing a B.S.00 00in telecommunication will start me on my way toward a bright career.0-

0 I think you are better to omit "short-term". And it is not 01b00wrong02b00 to have the first paragraph - just not essential. It does not really add much to your statement. It has to be your decision whether to use it or not. 02br

00It's so nice of you for giving such a great and commendable deal of help. I am so thankful to you and won't forget this very kind deed of yours till the end of my life. I've made some more changes, and also I've put some parentheses where I still have doubts ( i.e. whether to use them or not). Could you please please nail them too?02br
