Writing
Personal essay
Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe
their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your
story.

All my life, I have always been obsessed with computers, especially during my elementary school
days. I would sit beside my father (a graphic arts designer at the time) inside his small office in our
home and watch him use CorelDraw and Adobe Photoshop to design flyers for some of his clients
during the weekend, especially on Saturdays. However, I became so interested in the world of
computers that I sought my father's permission to allow me to use his laptop to create some
images on CorelDraw, which were not too perfect at the time.

During my high school days, my ambition was to build apps and websites and I started using my
own laptop to self-study by watching YouTube videos of how to write codes after school through
constant practice and consistency in learning since my high school was a boarding school. From
then onwards, I have made it my lifelong ambition to become a Software Engineer. I am
particularly inspired and motivated to become a Software Engineer after reading extensively about
how Mark Zuckerberg built Facebook from his dorm room at Harvard University to connect
Harvard students with one another using his skill as a Software Engineer. Hence, Mark Zuckerberg
is a motivational factor for me in the world of Software Engineering, but my greatest role model
has always been my father as he is a firm believer in good education and he enrolled me and my
siblings in one of the best High Schools in Nigeria (Atlantic Hall Secondary School).

However, aside from pursuing a degree in Software Engineering, my other interest is acting and
producing movies. My acting journey began when I was in elementary school. During my
elementary school days, I was given several roles to act, in which I interpreted well to the best of
my abilities. My parents were extremely proud of me because they felt I was taking a huge step in
the right direction. When I got to High school, I joined the Drama club and I auditioned to play
many important roles such as a Prince in one of my school's greatest performances (Moremi
Ajasoro). It was a stage performance and I was able to interpret my role perfectly to the best of
my ability.

Aside from academics and acting, I am an eloquent speaker and I have spoken in front of wide
audiences, including several assemblies and at Atlantic Hall Muslim Community Mosque where I
regularly lead the Jumaat Service Prayer. I was also the Library Prefect and the leader of the A-Hall
Book Club. As the Library Prefect, I helped to make the school library more technologically
advanced and encouraged the use of more E-books by students. I was also the Coordinator of the
Muslim community at my school.

My name is Adetomiwa Farouk Makanjuola. I am 15 years old, and I would like to apply to this
prestigious institution to study Computer Science/Software Engineering. I graduated High School
in July 2023 with a 3.65 CGPA out of 4.0. I love playing football, volleyball, and table tennis. I also
love playing Chess and Monopoly during my leisure time because it helps me keep calm and
focused.

However, in a bid to kick-start my journey in Software Engineering, I am currently enrolled at New

Horizons Systems Solutions (an information technology training provider) here in Lagos Nigeria
for a "Full Stack Software and Web Development". My coursework entails the use of HTML, CSS,
JavaScript, C++, PHP, and Java. Presently, I can confidently use all of these languages to design or
create a website.

In public, I am a very tolerant person who is always ready to listen to other people's views and
opinions. I firmly believe that I have the characteristics to be a good ambassador of peace
anywhere I find myself. I aim to be an inspiration and an outstanding role model to every young
person around the world.
