A letter from Jun 13, 2025

Dear Future Me, • Today as I finish this Launching Global Leaders course and will soon graduate from Purdue’s MS BAIM program, I feel cautiously optimistic. • In one year from now, my professional goal is to be working at Apple/Spotify as a Data Scientist/AI Engineer. • For me to accomplish that goal I know I can achieve it with certainty if I do the following: Stay Disciplined, Stay on Track, Trust in Myself. • One of the things I learned the most about myself at Purdue is _I can compete and lead with the best. • One of the things I want to continue to improve about myself is _Stay consistent, be on track. • I really admired these people in our program: Vishnu, Prashast, Swanand, Dilshad, Wali. If I have not spoken to them in a while, I’m going to connect with them now to see how they are doing. • I may not believe what Prof L does, but I will contact him and let him know how my job and life is going, and if I ever used that towel he gave me. With great excitement and hope, Rohan.
