Past Experience and Future’s Hopes


While I was applying for Australia for my Bachelors, it rang a bell in my mind that no one can judge you, when I met and knew few new people and dealt with them. Though my visa got rejected, I gained experience which benefited my speaking skills and public relations.

As an enthusiastic learner, I learned Microsoft Visio, software for drawing, in hours and made few drawings for my grandfather’s book that he wrote on his own area of expertise. During a year gap between A-levels and undergraduate program I assisted my father at his office and gained a lot of knowledge on hydropower. Ending my schooling life on a high node with good grades in all subjects, mostly better in mathematics and computing encouraged me to do well in the A-levels programs, but it did not go as planned.

During three years stay at Islington College, I look forward to boosting my studying skills with frequent presentations, various writing tasks and also enhance abilities to work in groups. Slight knowledge in computer hardware and software architecture would also help in the future. Updated on current development will aid understanding the society.

However, IT companies while recruiting for job prefer problem solvers rather than only degree holders, with help of several modules I get to enhance ability of problem solving. Project planning and management will aid while working for IT companies later on in our lives. Planning to be a programmer in the near future, I’m very positive about learning programming to its highest level.

All adequate amounts of ideas collected in the entire modules during the three years of Islington College will work as theoretical experience and the final year project that I submit to London Metropolitan University will benefit me as practical experience.

My life, my inspiration


I, Nikunj Acharya born on October 1992, along with my sister was brought up and raised in Baluwatar, Kathmandu. While recalling my childhood, among many other things I hear from my parents is that it was sophisticated, whether it be being sent to a kindergarten from early childhood or being sent to the best school for further studies. Now, talking about schooling which was from one of the reputed school Brihaspati Vidhyasadan and achieving nearly distinction marks and getting along with a bunch of friends were the golden memories. With good memories also comes the bad ones, the bad ones which I got during my two years of college; choosing a averagely reputed college, not having a proper friends circle led to irresponsible future.

However passing out from the college proved a difficult thing for me, although I always had been a bright student during my schooling period. After 2 miserable years at Malpi International College, I was in great dilemma whether to divert my career into civil engineering or the computing faculty. After comparing both the faculties and suggestions from the elders I decided to join Islington College. As one of the reputed colleges along with the affiliation of London Metropolitan University and my keen interest in the computer field, I was excited and felt honored to join Islington College

In the world of technology where almost all the works lies inside the computer and the people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg have become legends and have made computing sector the highest paid job of all times. In USA out of 10 highly paid jobs 6 of them are from the IT sector.

Everyone has their role model, mine is my uncle. He is a software developer and owns his own software company; he gets entertained with his work.

To follow the footsteps of my role model and also with a huge scope of computing in the global market I chose computing as my subject.
