At this time, my decision to research this major and career has been influenced by my mother. She is a specialist in computer science and Information Systems. She owns a consulting firm with my father who is a specialist in software engineer. I used to be fascinated at how my mother used to handle huge and unorganized data from the client in a very short time. Clients and companies used to seek the help of my mother to organize their meaningless data from sales, production or employees activities to meaningful information which can be used to make major decisions on how to run the operations of their businesses. I used to help with picking calls from clients, organizing meetings, arranging files in the office, typing and printing documents. Occasionally, I would attend these meeting and from those meetings I came to realize how essential my mother’s skills are to businesses in the city. Therefore, I want to major in this career and be significant individual in the society who provides solutions to problems through processing, analyzing and interpreting data.
