Personal Statement

Name: Jan Kochanowski
From an early age I’ve always been deeply interested in computing. It was my dad, introducing me to the computer systems at his work place that first sparked this interest. I can always remember the feeling of wanting to know just how computers worked, why they worked and what else they could do.
This interest never left me, only growing more profound and passionate with every new discovery I made. From communicating with an artificial intelligence to seeing the wonders of the Internet for the first time, computers have left me fascinated with just how much power yet mystery they hold.
The subjects I decided to study have all helped me to develop both myself and my understanding of the subject. Physics for example has helped me to understand how certain parts of a computer function, while Computing has given me a greater insight into the business aspects of the computer industry.
Chemistry and Physics have both helped to improve my analytical and evaluative skills. Within maths I have been lucky enough to have a teacher who was very interested in computer science. He has been especially helpful in my interpersonal development.
As well as spending time both studying and helping to run the business I understand the importance of having time to relax. Hobbies that I try to make time for are – excluding computers, which are my biggest hobby – model making, aquarist, bike riding and swimming. That hobbies helps me to develop my features like precision, patience and physical brawn.
