Transcript

VO: Good morning, pass your documents please,

Me: Good morning, (I pass my Passport and I-20 form)

VO: Why are you going to the US?

Me: I am going to the US to study for my Masters of Science in Information Technology Degree at The University of Texas at El Paso.

VO: (Nods), Why UTEP?

Me: I chose UTEP mainly because the school offers MSIT that is a Blend of Technolgy and Business, focusing on Web Technologies and Management, making the course a perfect fit for my career plans as a Senior Web Developer and Tech Startup Founder. Also, the School is one of the most affordable schools with it's kind of high educational standard, shown by its steady growth since it was founded in 1914 as a mining School to being a major public research institution in the region. Recently did the College of Engineering partner with a world emerging 3D printing company, Aconity 3D making UTEP it's North American base. Finally, half of the school's population is Hispanic, further highlighting the school's openness to cultural diversity.

VO: Good Good, Why MSIT?

Me: As I said earlier, I have been a Web Developer since 2014, and registered my Tech Startup officially last year as a Limited Liability Company in Nigeria, so I searched specifically for courses that could afford me the knowledge and experience I need to improve in my field and chosen path in order to achieve my goal of improving Nigeria's economy through Technology. UTEP offered exactly that through the MSIT program, with courses such as Human-Computer Interaction, Secure Web System, Advance topics in Database, Computer Security, Financial Accounting, Effective Human Resource Management, Global Policy Management, and three other elective courses that I will finalize on before my second study year.

VO: When did you graduate, and what have you been doing since then?

Me: I graduated in 2015, went for NYSC and finished in 2016 where I served as a Basic Technology and Mathematics teacher in a Secondary school, started work at an office space for my co-founded startup with business name registration as at the time, till September 2017 when I enrolled for an advance Web Development course at Bleep (One of the Best Software development training institutions in Nigeria) till December, after which I was selected as one of the best for a 6 months internship at the same place to work with a team of Developers in building Software solutions, so as to further stretch our field experience of all we learnt during the training and for further exposure. I completed the internship program in June, and have been working at my startup since while preparing for my travel abroad.

VO: That's impressive, so what do you plan to do after your study?

Me: Pretty simple, I plan to come back to Nigeria my lovely home, and use the knowledge and experience I must have gained at UTEP and in the United States in contributing my quota to building the "Tech Echo System" in Nigeria, starting first from my Co-founded Company, by using these knowledge to run operations and manage resources better, most especially human resources, as it is evident that Nigeria has a lot of talents trooping into the field of technology and other fields, but the results we get are not up to our level of potentials mainly because of lack of experience and know-how when it comes to talent and resource management, so I intend to come be a specialist in building and managing talents in the Technology Niche of Nigeria to create solutions that will help us live better and improve the Economy of Nigeria and other African Countries. I have started this already, I will only be continuing when I come back better equipped.

VO: Nice, So Who is sponsoring you?

Me: I got a Teaching Assistantship position that covers most of my tuition and other expenses, and my Uncle is covering the remaining cost of my study.

VO: What does your Uncle do?

Me: He is a current member of the Bleep of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and is the founding Chairman of Bleep Energy that deals in construction of oil and petroleum processing facilities, massive infrastructures, as well as importation of construction materials.

VO: Nice, do you have any documents to prove this?

Me: Yes, a letter of sponsorship from Uncle(with official letterhead), His Bank statements(salary account and a personal account), Teaching Assistantship enrolment letter.

VO: Why is your Uncle sponsoring you?

Me: Smiles, First of all because he is willing and capable too, and majorly because he has been a major driving force for me to always adance in life and career, and has always supported my every move to reach for the best, my uncle was responsible for over 80% of my undergraduate expenses.

VO: That is nice, are you married, any kids?

Me: No, none.

VO: I have Approved your visa, pick up your passport with visa at the circled location in 2 days, and ensure you are with your i-20 at the POE.

Me: Smiles, Thank you, God bless you.


Amen.
