Statement of Purpose
It can take time for any individual to realize their true dreams. From an early age, in
India, we have the habit of following the path that is decided for us by our parents. Similar
circumstances happened with me too, I had a keen interest in the field of Information
Technology. But my parents pushed and forced me to opt for medical science. As I have always
followed whatever my parents have decided for me, I did the same this time too. With this, my
never-ending struggle to fit into this field commenced.
Firstly, the education system in Australia is completely different from India. Therefore, it
was extremely difficult for me to adjust to the Australian education system. In this struggle, I
missed deadlines, assessments, and many other important aspects associated with my course
Bachelors of Medical Science. For the initial months, everything was alien to me. Moreover, this
affected my performance, which directly impacted my morale.
Secondly, the agent who took the responsibility of getting me admitted to my course,
misguided my parents and me. I was living in Sydney at that time, but he got me enrolled in the
Melbourne campus. This left me with no option, forcing me to travel to Melbourne every week,
which impacted my academic performance that reflected in my scores too.
Thirdly, the next challenge of adjusting to a new land, where I did not know anyone,
added to my problems. I am an introvert person, who does not easily open up with people. I felt
lonely, as I failed to make friends, and thus, always felt homesick. Finally, I found a boy, who
became my only friend. We became close, I moved in with him and by the commencement of
session 3, I became pregnant. My pregnancy was detected late, so I have to go through a surgery
for abortion. This impacted my physical and mental well-being immensely. The thought of
killing a child pushed me towards depression day by day. During this time, my focus on my

studies was negligible. Furthermore, as I did not have an interest in medical science from earlier
only, with all these circumstances, I lost my interest more.
After all this, I got married to my husband, who has been extremely supportive of my
studies and my professional dreams. Through his support, I realize my true dream was building a
career in information technology. Also, from the counseling which I received for building a clear
approach in life, I became adamant that I want to pursue my dream of developing a career in the
field of Information Technology. It was my initial interest and my main goal in life. It is due to
this reason that I decided to change my course from Bachelors in Medical Science to the
Diploma of Business Leading to Bachelors of Information Technology. My main focus is on
attaining higher education in the field of Information Technology, so I can use this knowledge
for developing a career in India, where the sector of Information Technology is rapidly growing,
offering people with high ranked jobs.
