My Study Plan on Achieving College Goals

Language Study Plan

Study plans to improve foreign languages(Korean, English, etc) required for taking a degree course BEFORE and AFTER you come to Korea.

Before going to Korea, I do my best to learn the Korean language on my own. And the best way to do that is by using online sources like the lessons and materials on the sejonghakdang.org website which is very useful for learning Hangeul and Korean culture. Watching videos on YouTube is also beneficial for learning the basics of the language and knowing how to write and build words and sentences in Korean. As soon as I understand the basics, reading elementary books, articles and magazines will surely develop my reading skills. Listening to podcasts is also great for my listening. Additionally, interacting with native Korean speakers through social media will have a great influence on me to develop my Korean language and to know more about their respective cultures. By doing all the things mentioned above I have already worked on my English language too, as they are all in English. I will not have difficulties learning and communicating in English.

After going to Korea, I organize myself according to motivation, immersion, discipline, note-taking, and moderation, which is the best way of learning a new language for me.

Motivation. Motivation is the key factor in getting yourself involved in the learning process and in keeping yourself engaged at your level of academic performance. Falling in love with the language you are learning and the culture that speaks it, is the most important thing you can do to ensure long-term motivation and enjoy the whole learning process. For me, the Korean language and culture is amazing. More and more people around the world are learning Korean. It is growing and that is wonderful. Korea, to me, is a country full of surprises in ways that make me appreciate the differences between every culture. Even though there are many cultural interactions and settings in other countries that differ from the lifestyle and culture I have here in Afghanistan, Korea has always been a culture and language that stood out to me. Just by being able to see the old Korean lifestyle come to life on-screen, it gives me a sense of love for the culture. I always get to appreciate the beauty of traditional clothing, like Hanboks. In addition, the Korean language is one of the most spoken languages and is considered to have the most logical system of writing in the world. With all these, I have already fallen in love with the Korean language and culture. And it will surely increase when I reach Korea.

Immersion. Immersion is a fantastic way to learn a language because it allows me to experience almost all aspects of life in the language I am learning. By immersing myself in Korea, I will find myself hearing Korean sounds. I will hear the giggles of schoolchildren on their way to classes, the chatter of Korean TV in the background, and K-pop blasting everywhere I turn. And this happens 247 without letting up. This way I am forced to learn the language and it works, because that is how I learned my first language.

Discipline. Being disciplined is very important when learning a new language. One of the basic benefits of being disciplined is having a stress-free language program. By disciplining and time management, I can learn to apportion every single day to various activities and equally work on my reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Maintaining a daily routine and following it properly, will help me learn the lessons in the best way. By keeping organized, I will save my time and will have more time to work on my important tasks. It also increases my productivity and helps me stick to my daily, weekly, and monthly goals. I also plan to practice the language with a partner and make the language learning an emotional process that can help me remember and apply what I have learned, this way, I work on my listening and speaking skills.

Note-taking. By keeping a notepad with me whenever I go anywhere and taking notes of new words, phrases and sentences that I hear instantly from people or a friend and reviewing them properly, I plan to work on my vocabulary building and writing skills. Additionally, I will have a dictionary with me all the time and use it as a reference to understand the meaning of the words and expressions that I face to for the first time.

Moderation. Moderation is an important part of studying. My purpose of moderation is to make sure I avoid study overload in order to keep myself strong enough until I achieve my goal. Countless hours of study are not only miserable but can also become unproductive, especially if you are studying for hours straight. I will make sure to have enough sleep during the night and to take healthy short breaks during my studies which can actually improve my ability to remember information and stay focused.

Last but not least, being realistic is very important. The journey is not a walk in the park. It has its ups and downs. There are some times when you feel you are not progressing, some other times when the grammar structures seem impossible to comprehend, or there are many unfamiliar words to remember. It takes courage to jump from one obstacle to another and overcome them each time and carry on. It takes courage to start speaking from the beginning and step out of your comfort zone, especially when you travel abroad. To start interacting with the natives and let go of the fear of making mistakes, or being ridiculed for your funny accent, takes lots of courage. But thanks to my past efforts during last few years. I am not afraid to make mistakes and have realistic expectations. I persevere. And this is courage.

The goal of the study & Study Plan

• Goal of study and detailed study plan

In order to become a great professor, choosing the right university is a crucial step in my career path. When choosing the right university, I have to ensure that my field of study is a strong point of the university I choose and sits high on its list of priorities. For me, just because a school looks beautiful does not mean that it can provide me the knowledge and the connections I need for my career path. Instead, there are other important factors like academic quality, curriculum, educational objectives, campus life, clubs, activities, research facilities, world ranking, alumni produced, university networks, areas of strength and etc. I did intensive research on the website of the universities and considering the curriculum, university reputation, research facilities and faculty members helpfulness, I choose Hanyang University, Kyung Hee University and Kangwon University as my preferred university for being three of the best universities in South Korea in the major of Computer Science and Engineering.

Why Computer Science and Engineering?

Computer Science and Engineering is a rapidly growing area that has become an integral part of the world that we live in today. Computer Science and Engineering impact everything, from scientific research to health development, transport, banking, communications and so on. Considering all of them, technology has the greatest influence in making the world a better place to live. Even objects like microwave ovens, fridges, or door locks are now connected to our Wi-Fi networks and personal assistants. As we move towards the future, technology will keep developing and help us overcome problems for which we do not have a solution right now. I loved to work with the computer from my early years in school and it especially increased when I knew its importance. It also made me love mathematics and now it is my favorite subject in school. For all the reasons above, I made the most important decision of my life to studying Computer Science and Engineering. There are a lot of interesting areas in this field and I am especially interested in Software Engineering. I want to get the best knowledge and experience and become a professional of this field. In the future as a professor, I want to teach this great knowledge to others in order to have a great impact in developing the next generation of gadgets and software programs that will improve the lives of millions of people around the world. The opportunity to study Computer Science and Engineering in one of the above-mentioned universities will surely enhance my skills and talent in an upper level which will make me a better world citizen.

My Academic Goals

As college is a time for growth, my main goal when studying Computer Science and Engineering is not just to quickly finish my degree but to shine. I found out that I would be studying Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, database, network security and many other interesting subjects when I checked my chosen universities' websites. I plan to equally pay attention to all the subjects and get the highest grades in all of them. I will make sure to mark assignment deadlines in the calendar and have them cleared in time. I will also try my best to show high performance in all the class activities and presentations. I will take part in different extracurricular activities like volunteers, groups, clubs and activities in order to take a further step in socializing myself besides my academics and take advantage of college resources like the library, computer lab, unlimited internet, workshop and so much more. I will also keep in mind to have enough sleep and regular exercise for being physically healthy. I then make sure to be close with experienced professors to ensure that I get the best advice in the way of becoming a professor from experts. Finally, I will do my best to study hard and graduate from my undergraduate degree with best grades and honors.

How to Achieve My Goals

I will make Specific, Relevant and Attainable goals at the beginning of each semester. I will divide each of the goals into smaller goals and stick to them by making an organized schedule. To achieve my goals and learn Computer Science and Engineering in the best way, I have to gain the following skills:

Analytical skills. One of the key roles of a computer science engineer is to identify a technical problem and find apt solution for it. Thus, strong analytical skills are crucial to assess any problem from a different perspective and find the best solution. The first step in improving analytical skills is being really good in Mathematics, calculus and statistics. Thanks to my hard work in high school and taking extra classes, I have built my mathematical skills. I will also read more and more, as an important part of being analytical involves being alert and remaining stimulated. Reading on a more frequent basis will help keep my mind running and think in new ways, which leads to better analytical skills.

Problem-solving. One of the other key skills for computer science majors is the ability to solve complex problems in a systematic and logical way. This is because most of the projects I will be working on will require me to take a concept and turn it into a reality. In order to do this, I will need to be able to think about the best way to execute the project and then outline the steps needed to get it done. For improving my problem-solving skills, I will read the problem at least three times (or even more), as I cannot solve a problem I do not understand. Then I will work on the exact problem and solve it to reduce the steps. But if I could not find the exact solution, I will repeat the steps from the first to solve it. Surely repeating this process can improve my problem-solving skills that will lead to a fast and accurate solution.

Creativity. Creativity goes hand in hand with problem-solving and it is one of the other key skills I will need as a computer science major. Since coming up with solutions to problems is almost never a straightforward process, out-of-the-box thinking is often required in order to ensure that I am delivering the most innovative and effective solutions. I think reading more in my spare time and constant learning will be great for my creativity. For improving my creativity, I will take care of my mental health and then do ask and search about what I do not know, when I have enough inputs, new ideas start appearing.

By making an organized schedule I can save time and make sure to do everything in time. During the class, I will pay my full attention and keep my brain engaged and awake when listening to the professor and take proper notes. After the theoretical class, I will review the notes to evaluate my understanding, and then I will have to apply that knowledge through practical exercises in a computer laboratory. After well understanding of the lesson, I go on my homework and assignments to get them done in the best possible way. during my degree, it is really important to be part of a team. Once I will find a good study group, I will surely enjoy meeting with my peers, sharing ideas and working on interesting projects. When a few minds come together and work on some things, it becomes amazing.

For my physical and mental health, I will have 7 hours of sleep at night and a morning exercise and involve myself with the interesting Korean culture and language when I get bored. In my free time, I will be reading technological magazines and news like WIRED, Science News, Computer Shopper and etc. to beware of the latest information and discoveries in computer science, as it is a fast-changing area. Finally, the thing I am sure would ease many difficulties is my everlasting interest in computer science and programming.

Future Plan after Study

• Future plan in Korea or another country after studying in Korea

After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I plan to find a job as a teacher in my country, Afghanistan. As I will need a lot of hard work and experience to become a university professor, no matter where I teach. This way, I practice what I have learned in South Korea and I get teaching experience which would be really important to be accepted as a professor later. There are a lot of other Afghans who consider Computer Science and Engineering as their major but the fact is that Afghanistan has really faced a shortage of experienced professors in technological fields. Then, I will go for a master`s degree in order to increase my knowledge and skills and take a further step in becoming a university professor. Â Lastly, I will always do research, as every professor do, on the development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning which can make our lives easier and the world a better place to live.
