Language Study plan;

In this world, communication is a very vital part of every human being. Personally, I have grown-up
speaking English as my second language as it is the main language used for teaching in schools in
Uganda. I actually feel more confident using English more than my native language which is Runyankore

But the new thing is Korean and I am really excited to add it as a new language. Going through the
statistics, there are 24 letters in the Korean alphabet compared to 26 of English, which makes me hope
that it’s quite easier to learn Hangul in a short period of time. In order to learn some of the basics of
Korean, I will register myself as a member on one of the online Korean teaching websites so that I can
learn basic Korean terms in the best possible ways to make it easier for me. Whenever it is possible, I will
surf through online videos to know more about Korean pronunciation and its vocabulary and I also enjoy
watching Korean tv shows and series with English subtitles which will come in handy in learning some
Korean terms.

After moving to Korea, I believe things will become clearer. I will make it a priority to make Korean
friends in order to help me practice my written and spoken Korean skills and try to communicate with
common people to get in touch with real life Korean because the language you learn in the class is often
different from the language people speak in the streets. Getting engaged with Korean culture will also be
a good way to learn Korean easily. I will read Korean books and newspaper to enhance my reading skills.
The best part is that I am fully determined to learn Korean language in the most novel way to score well
in TOPIK examination, so as to pursue my studies in Korea. I believe this will improve my Korean as my
third language fast because I will be using it on a daily in studying, communicating and as a result, I will
be fluent in Korean as I am in English.

Goal of study and study plan;

The goal of my master’s degree study at Chonnam National University, Korea is to deepen my knowledge
in mathematical and statistical models. I desire to study not only about the previously mentioned subjects
but also the education system and culture in Korea. Both knowledge and international experience are
important things that I am chasing now for my future career as a statistician. To become a great
statistician, I will require analytical skills, strong mathematical abilities, capacity to solve problems,
excellent communication skills and advanced technology learning which I strongly believe I will achieve
at Chonnam National University.
My plan if I get the opportunity to be part of the Global Korea Scholarship program at Chonnam National
University is to give a best performing education and complete my master’s degree in the stipulated time
which is 3 years. I believe in my abilities and I will fully utilize the resources at my disposal i.e., the
library, seek help from my professors, make friends with senior graduate students in my department so
that I can seek assistance and guidance from them, do extensive research in addition to attending all the
required lectures, conferences and seminars. I am a firm believer that there is no substitute to hard work
so I will use this opportunity to its fullest so that I can be outstanding in this competitive world. I also
intend to be fully involved at my University. This includes partaking in events, joining clubs and meeting
different people from various backgrounds. I intend to do this in order to build a wide network of contacts
so that they can help me widen my viewpoint and outlook on the world.

Future plan after study;

Upon completion, I intend to use the cutting-edge knowledge and skills obtained during my masters
training to secure employment in one of the prominent companies in my country. This shall give me
much more exposure and will be fundamental to laying a foundation to my envisioned career, as I look at
reaching the summit of statistics and data management, as a prominent statistician. In the future, I
envisage myself as a manager of a large firm - that would provide statistical and data management
services more especially to projects in various research institutions. In this regard, I have the intent of
training a number of individuals who have great interest and intend to grow their careers in data science
and management as well. I shall target students from universities and other institutions of higher learning
through providing prior comprehensive career guidance sessions. Also, the firm will train students on
short courses in the area of data management. This shall be a venture that will equip them with the much-
coveted but rarely taught skills during their undergraduate level of education at the university and other
institutions of higher learning, back in Uganda. I believe by studying in Korea will able to make me be a
more open-minded person in any aspect.
