Culture Personal Statements Samples For Students

My passion for business has been the guiding force that has determined the educational path I’ve taken during the past several years. After completing a degree in Finance in King Saud University, I am now ready to take the next step in that path, which is to attain an MBA degree from the Claremont Graduate University.

Although I have enjoyed excellent grades from studying Finance, I believe that my proficiency in this field alone will not be enough to help me succeed in business, whether I end up working for other companies or I later decide to establish my ...

I intend to pursue higher education to major in Asian American Studies. I am an international student from Hong Kong and am currently studying in Los Angeles, California. My current academic plans include completing two (2) years education in Los Angeles, to comply with the educational pre-requisites needed prior to transferring to the ...

My academic specialization is fuzzy logic, which isn’t logic that is fuzzy, but a worldview and method of thinking which is capable of coping with the world’s diversity. Traditional bivalent thinking, the belief that a proposition has only one truth value is, according to philosopher Mario Bunge, “primitive and inconsistent with how the social world is organized” (Winter, 2014). Most social phenomenon, including teaching, is not black and white, true or false, but full of interesting grey variables. I experience this when I’m teaching, because every student is different. My personal educational philosophy revolves around inclusion, and this ...

My rationale for applying to the desired program is to pursue an earlier ...

Perhaps it is a little bit clichéd today, but the world is increasingly interconnected. Modern, affordable air travel has increased people’s capacity to travel to far-off lands for both business and pleasure. Furthermore, the rise of the Internet has facilitated contact and communication with diverse cultures, which not too long ago would have seemed impossible. Finally, the British Empire, and its successor in global hegemony the United States of America, along with Hollywood and the Internet have cemented the use of English as a lingua franca in International affairs and business. Despite the rise of English, significant portions of ...

Personal Statement

When I moved to the United States, I faced a number of challenges, ranging from learning English to adjusting to the new culture. It was difficult for me to express myself and communicate with my classmates and teachers. It was also challenging for me to keep up with the cultural values in my new environment. This experience affected my self esteem as I felt isolated and out of place. Nonetheless, I had a clear sense of identity, purpose and direction. I had come to the United States to pursue the creative and inquiring education that is available in this part of ...

When my mum finally told me that I was old enough to go to school, anxiety grew in me. I was longing to have a feel of the school experience. Before long, I was on going to school for the first time. Honestly, the experience was not as good as I had anticipated. I kept on going to school by I was by all means not enjoying it. My performance was unendingly poor, and by sixth grade, I found it inevitable to drop out. This did not go well with my parents, and so they decided ...

Personal Statement

Growing up in a community where children were fond of claiming that when they grew up they would be doctors or engineers had almost influenced me into taking that line of reasoning and career goal. To be more precise, that happened to be my line of pursuit for the better part of the childhood classes. By the eleventh grade, I had not quite made up my mind on what I really wanted to do. Coming from a family that owned a relatively small hotel from which we made a livelihood from, many times while out of school, I would find ample time to ...

[December 8, 2019]
One year after joining high school, I still never have made a decision as to which career to join. Life seemed confusing without direction as I hoped from one social club to the next, to get a taste of what they did. It so happened that as I attended one business club, a legendary speaker had been invited and as the session progressed, there was a sense of belonging, in the business arena that squashed my thoughts. I knew that I had found what I have been searching for. However, I did not join that club but rather decided ...

My long term goal is to become a paediatrician; this ambition was instilled in me following my paediatric rotation. My time spent working in this field of medicine was both fascinating and rewarding, and I am certain that paediatrics is where my lifelong career lies. I enjoyed having a role in helping children to recover from their illnesses, and working with them directly, every day. No two days were ever the same for me during this time, and I am dedicated to achieving highly in the paediatric field. Therefore, I wish to complete a paediatric residency on leaving medical school, in order ...

I have always aspired to be educated from a premier institute to reach the pinnacle of success in my desired field. I am enthusiastic and passionate about following a career in Psychology and have completed my major in it along with a two year comprehensive course in a community college.

I would like to study in Korea and imbibe its ...

Curiositea Gift Company, the project that I developed together with other four girls, had the mission to sell affordable handmade vintage teacups filled with tea scented candles, shower gel or bath bombs, separately or as a gift. For this aim, we targeted as the end use women aged 30-50, with refined tests for home accessories and an interest in relaxation, harmony and aesthetics. The direct buyers, however, are much more varied, ranging from students to adults who desire to purchase gifts for their friends, mothers, and acquaintances. The main marketing strategy consisted in a combination of strong social media ...

The dominant reason behind why I’ve decided to undertake an MA in International Studies is because I see that the world is ceasing to be a localised experience for the bulk of its populous and is, instead, a global municipal which requires a unique set of skills and knowledge than has previously not been needed. My life’s goal is to try and make a difference in the world but, in order to be truly effective in this pursuit, I must first fully understand what the world needs and how best to meet those needs. Whilst studying for my undergraduate degree, I ...

In his novel A Tale of Two Cities, the immortal Charles Dickens said that it is “a wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.” I believe this sums up what psychology is pretty succinctly. All of us are exposed to the same world, the same events, the more or less same set of circumstances, yet we all act and react in a completely different, personal manner to this outward stimuli. What is it that makes us tick, so to speak? What makes us who we are? ...

Japan is a unique society with no equal in the world. It’s isolated geography, breathtaking mountains, eclectic cities, and island status offers an unparalleled experience to the body and soul. Since I had started learning about yoga approximately eight years ago, I became increasingly interested in Shinto and Buddhist monasteries and the ancient techniques that they employ. On an academic and a spiritual level, no other country can provide me with the depth and breadth of learning experience that can be had in Japan.
I am a renaissance person by nature and enjoy to be actively engaged in multiple projects ...

Since middle school, I have been interested in Business related majors. I was influenced by my mother, who is a Japanese professor. She has always told me that if I wanted to make myself useful and start my own business, school was the best place for me to learn those skills in order to solve problems of the future. She made me realize that I need to accumulate as much as possible knowledge and find the connection between books and society. The reason for which I chose to major in management science for the undergraduate school is because I would ...

In today’s competitive environment where education has moved beyond the traditional sphere, the UCEAP Program offered by the Keio University in Tokyo explores the vast and growing field of Psychology. I have successfully completed a two year course in Psychology from a community college majoring in Psychology. I am passionate about pursuing a profession that utilises the diverse psychological streams. Growing up in Japan has acquainted me with the culture and society but only on a superficial level; the UCEAP course at the Keio University would give me an opportunity to imbibe the rich culture and values of Japan. Being a Korean, living ...

When I decided to pursue my dreams in the United States and live the comfort of my home in Hong Kong, I knew culturally speaking it will not be an easy journey for me. But, with my dreams as my main fuel, I packed my bags and hopped on a plane bounded to the U.S. Like what I predicted the norms were very different than what we have in Asia, Western countries were more individualistic compared to the collective ideology of the Eastern culture. Communication was my main problem because I had to adjust to the language and in order ...

I am one of the few Saudi women have graduated from law school in my country predominantly patriarchal. Reflecting on my social and educational experience, I appreciate the immeasurable impact of equal justice to all. As a Saudi woman, I have experienced injustice and discrimination firsthand due to my gender. Despite having attained the legal adult age, the system prohibits me from doing basic things such as studying, working or even acquiring a passport without permission from my father and or husband. My legal practice also suffered setbacks due to these backward cultural norms that prohibit interaction with fellow male lawyers. ...

I was born in a traditional Chinese family. Likewise, I attended a very traditional Chinese school. The lesson that my family and school taught me is that “practice makes perfect.” The only way I can improve my grades is to listen to lectures carefully and do more practices after class. The idea helped me to progress in my studies and I felt mostly interested in the accounting and economics disciplines. Afterwards, when I saw a website about the benefits of studying in an American Community College for students who do ...

I spent the first 17 years of my life in a beautiful and ethereal Eurasian country that has the distinction of possessing a rich and diverse cultural history that predates to ancient times. In 2010, my family and I made the difficult transition of immigrating to the United States (U.S.). Suddenly, I was an Armenian teenager living in the fast-paced and cosmopolitan New York City, quite ...

I have been dreaming of pursuing my Masters of Science degree in business since well before I graduated from secondary school. My family has always supported my dreams of leaving China for America and pursuing my education, but it is not until recently that these dreams began to seem achievable in the near future. After I graduated from Xi’An Jiantong University, I was fortunate enough to receive the good news that I had been admitted into the University of Nebraska’s Bachelor of Science program for business administration. At the University of Nebraska, I worked extremely hard and ...

Microbiology helps us understand microbes and how they interact with humans, plants animals as well as the environment. Microbiology is an important part of who I am. My years as a Masters’ student in the Biology department at the Laurentian University has cemented my love for microbiology and grounded my feet in research. This is what I wish to continue doing in future by making biomolecular science my mainstay. To be the best in biomolecular science research, it is imperative that my choice institution for my PhD studies be at the forefront in this field of research. Based on what ...

If it’s possible for a person to be a left-brainer and a right-brainer at the same time then I would definitely fall into this category. All throughout my academic years, I have had no problems in excelling in my classes. In high school specifically, I have always been in the top of my classes, so much so that people have encouraged me to pursue a career in business or accounting. However, I’m not the kind of person who would follow the path that people typically expect me to follow. Instead, I’m more the kind of person who likes to think ...

My intellectual love affair with chemistry and forensic science began in my high school years. I was lucky, during this formative period of my life, to have a series of excellent chemistry instructors and classes; my enthusiasm for chemistry grew throughout these years. I became more and more interested in the discipline; in my free time, I read chemistry books and learned the history of the subject. It was clear to me that I wanted to build a career out of this interest. After I graduated high school, I was accepted into the Abu Dhabi police force academy to complete a study ...

I have always found the ability to help other people and communities around me especially rewarding, which is perhaps the main motivation that has driven my fascination for social work. Throughout my life, I have always sought out and used all opportunities available to me to be of help people who are unfortunate or simply in need of a helping hand. Therefore, undertaking studies in social work was great opportunity to achieve my desire. Although my university education back in my home country, Uganda, was full of challenges due to lack of vital resources, I worked hard and gained a wide ...

Ray Lyman Wilbur, a renowned American medical doctor once said “In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before as human experience is as sure and reliable as anything that we are born with” (UOFLIFE, pp.71). Experience makes up a vital fragment of our personality since it influences our tastes, preferences, inclinations as well as the dictates of our passion. My working experience is an apt manifestation of this phenomenon. My aspiration to delve into the world of business, particularly economics, has been greatly influenced by my seven years working experience in vastly interactive and social environment.

My decision to choose the University of Birmingham as the headquarters for my future education comes from a variety of factors. Having grown up in Nigeria, I have experienced a number of difficulties throughout my life, all seen through the lens of a young country that is still struggling to find its place in the world. The primary source of wealth in the Nigerian government today is oil, a substance which has caused quite a bit of strife and corruption in my country – the way it is refined, distributed and taxed still suffers from quite a few problems. To that end, I want to make a ...

My country has recently become independent and despite its fast development and constant improvements, the country still lacks the fresh blood educated according to the Western democratic values that are still to be implemented in its legislation. To gradually substitute the Soviet past with the democratic present, our youth needs to study in the countries that are the cradles of the democracy.
For this reason, four years ago I took the Foundation course at HEFP, holding the conditional offer from the University of Warwick to study business law. Due to personal circumstances I was forced to continue my ...

Confidence, good sense of humor, sincerity and good communication skills have always been the strong sides of my personality and have continuously helped me to get along well with people of all ages.

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is a challenge to deeply held beliefs regarding the autonomous nature of humans. Skinner, being one of the founding fathers of the behavioral movement reduces most human activity to a function of social living. Behaviorism has a distinct advantage over other psychological schools insofar as it’s hypotheses can be tested using the scientific method, and observation of objective behavior over subjective thoughts. While primary using rats as his experimental models, Skinner extrapolated his findings to human behavior to create a theory that promoted social conditioning on mass scale in order to create social control.

Each aspect of life and the application thereof is acquired via some form of education. A newborn infant cries out for its mother, learns her responses to instinctive demands, and thus will quickly formulate the knowledge of wants versus solutions. The young life develops its motor skills, initially applies them for the first steps, and then graduates to the upright gait to freely traverse any environment. In this way, the education process is applied and instilled in every life.
The diversity of language and its functional and often poetic usage define the varied world cultures. Each one is ...

My most recent education was at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, UK. I was able to study for a semester in both art and business from September through December 2012. During this period I was fortunate to have access to some private collections in London, many opportunities to visit galleries, and learn about the contemporary art history while developing an understanding of the features of fauvism, expressionism, and surrealism. My gallery visits afforded me the opportunity to begin to learn the relationship between the prices and value of pieces of art. I ...
