PERSONAL STATEMENT

Name:Venkata Sai Sailendra Jampani

“We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated.” – Maya Angelou.
Having a life continuously plagued by illness is no fun for a kid. However, several bruises and
scars because of multiple surgeries in my abdomen stand testimony to my growth both physically
and mentally. Being diagnosed with congenital megacolon, I went on to have a troubled
childhood in terms of health. Nevertheless, it never stopped me from achievingmy educational
dreams as I kept going ahead with a resolute mind. I had to jump way early into the professional
shoes due to unforeseen family circumstances, and I consider that period my turning point in
shaping my career path. Like many treading the digital professional route, I became a software
engineer, though my graduation path was different. As I disposed of duties in the computing
field, I saw my interests gradually taking a strong turn likewise. With a keen attitude to shine in
my workplace, I began contemplating the chances of gaining additional educational knowledge
for thriving in the competitive sphere. With high hopes, I extend my interest to pursue the
Master’s in Data Analytics at your University, USA.
With determined thoughts, I continued to battle my illness to cross my formative academic years
with commendable scores. Though the adhesions on my skin would leave me sick many times, I
stood tall to complete my 10th grade at Sri Krishnaveni Talent School, Vijayawada. In 2009, I
finished high school in the first division. Later, with the same courage, I went on to complete my
Intermediate years at Sri Chaitanya Junior College, Vijayawada.My next step was to successfully
grab an undergraduate degree, and I enrolled for the Bachelor of Engineering Technology: Civil
Engineering at NRI Institute of Technology, Nunna, Vijayawada. The anticipation of finishing
my course was constantly helping me to push my boundaries. Although, the bad luck hitting my
family continued to torment us by troubling my father. He was rushed to a hospital as he suffered
a massive bilateral pontine stroke. His stay in the hospital lasted 45 days, and during his
discharge, he came out with residual quadriparesis. All these factors drained our family savings,
and we had to face the brutal reality of bankruptcy. To help my family recover from this costly
mess, I had to quit my studies mid-way, and take up a working role. Adding to this, the
adhesions which were a result of the multiple complicated surgeries I had undergone, started
troubling me during my Bachelor’s degree a lot. With such a series of health issues plaguing my
family and me, I had to defer my graduation completion by 9 years. However, with unwavering
thoughts, I completed my graduation in 2021.
My work history was the starting point of seeding my interests in the computer sector. In 2019, I
was employed as a Software Engineer at WE4IT Services Private Limited, Hyderabad, India. I
worked there till August 2021 and my major duties were to test the automated workflows to
ensure that the business was heading without any errors. Besides, I had to design the automation
process as per the clients’ needs and vendor costs. Revisiting the code after development, and
integrating systems were my other duties. This experience put me in the competitive space of the
Computer Science domain effectively. However, as I am a Civil Engineering graduate, I know
that my mere work learnings are not going to cut it huge for me. Hence, I decided to shape my
profile with an advanced program. As I have been working for 5 years in the software industry, I
knew that a Master’s in Data Analytics would be the appropriate attribute to help my candidature
standout.
Computer Specialists are in great demand all over the globe. To join the bandwagon, I intend to
gather exceptional learning outcomes from your venerated institution through this all-inclusive
program. These subjects form the crux of today’s computing era, and I wish to excel by gaining
relevant training from the esteemed lecturers at the campus. Your University is one of the most
revered institutions in the USA and for the right reasons. With an exemplary curriculum
delivered with help of cutting-edge labs, in-trend industry teaching methods, internships,
seminars, guest lectures, graduates will have the right blend of practical and theoretical learning
going on. Also, the campus welcomes all international students with warm and needed amenities
like the library, fitness centers, accommodation, etc. Considering that the institution holds its
ground through its esteemed instructors, students capitalize on the inclusive classroom
surroundings. Getting an opportunity at your University would boost my confidence and equip
me with the knowledge and skills required to move forward with great motivation and achieve
higher altitudes in my career.
The USA is a hub spot for Data Analytics programs as the country leads in terms of technology
use and innovation. Thus, obtaining an educational qualification from such an exceptional
destination gives me the upper hand over my counterparts back in my workplace. The country is
well-known for accepting international students owing to its phenomenal living standards and
safety. Emphasis is on pragmatic learning, and this gives a better understanding of concepts for
students.
After the completion of the course, I aim to join some of the MNCs for challenging and lucrative
job roles. With high aspirations in mind, I request the admissions committee at your University,
the USA to consider my application for the Master’s in Data Analytics program. I expect my
career to have an illustrious resumption after gathering all the required skills from the highly
honored course.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and patience.
