The organization of society is structured around particular systems. The legal system of a group or nation is dependent on many factors from diverse fields. Justice develops as a result of history, religion, culture, or necessity. In order to study the organization of justice among peoples, it is necessary to be informed of different theories of sociology, anthropology, and psychology. My bachelor’s degree in Communication from the University of California, San Diego, has prepared me for versatility in learning and through academic development I have discovered I am interested in studying law.

I have always considered that the person who invented society was probably the greatest genius ever living on earth. Social norms, human relationships, communication, collaboration, progress, society, they are all part of a political system. Excepting the abstract concepts such as love, happiness or virtue, everything in the world, locally or globally, at micro level, or at macro level, is political. The dynamics and particularities of the international political scene fascinate me. It is with great interest that I follow the socio-political concepts integrated in the speeches or strategies of politicians or in the pleads and defenses of the lawyers. ...

Throughout my life I have faced many challenges that took determination, perseverance, and discipline in order to overcome. During high school and throughout my undergraduate studies I dedicated myself to the ferocious sports of Kick Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. Despite my successes that were built on hard work and devotion to self-restraint, unfortunately I suffered a traumatic injury to my knee and in the process shattered my patella, ruptured both the anterior cruciate and the medial collateral ligaments, and tore the cartilage of the meniscus.

My undergraduate education at Oklahoma State University has prepared me for whatever academic and professional challenges I may come by. At the outset of my academic career in Agribusiness, I had never imagined that I would find myself interested in studying Law. However, after a rigorous course load that touched on many issues of law, I became increasingly interested in the administration of power and concepts of sovereignty and jurisdiction. I also realized the ubiquity and necessity of agriculture to human endeavors and the benefit to development that large agricultural enterprises can bring. While some people view industrial farming and ...

I have always been interested in the communication of ideas and informing the public at large of newsworthy events. My father is a professional writer, and throughout my youth he taught me the joy of reading newspapers and periodicals. At the age of ten, a short article of mine was published in the journal Teens, and to my great delight I received a fee for my contribution. This early experience in writing imprinted on me a desire to communicate ideas and develop plans of action with like-minded colleagues. My undergraduate education in Broadcasting and Television Journalism from Guangzhou University has prepared me to ...

Communication is an important element to gain understanding in whatever situation a person is in. It is especially effective if spoken using a common language. In this world, there are 700 million people who speaks English, and this language has been the most widely spoken and written language . This figure accounts for approximately 63% of the population in the world and I am part of it . Learning English as one of my spoken languages does not stops when I finished my bachelor degree in 2010 from King Faisal University. I believe that improving ...

Business is an essential part of the world in which we live. Whatever the specific commercial activity, every one of us is affected by it, and is in some way involved on a daily basis, either directly or indirectly. Business management is the particular aspect of business which inspires and excites me. Although my interests cover a broad spectrum, both within business and outside of it, it is the management aspects that especially appeal to me, offering an environment with multiple demands and challenges.

My principal motivation in applying for this course in Business Management is ...

From 2001 to 2005, soon after graduation, I successfully enrolled in the college of Arts and Education in Taif, Saudi Arabia. I finished a four-year undergraduate program in ...

I do not remember myself not being fascinated by the medical industry. When I was a kid, I travelled a lot, as my father worked in Korean-American joint air force. Thus, I had a perfect chance to see different situations and circumstances, in which people lived and worked. As my stepmother was a senior pharmacist, I also saw how in all the places we travelled to she was helping people. I decided back then that I also want to find a way to be useful for as many people as possible.

After that initial decision, a long road waited for me before the current ...

Determined and focused to enter into a business of consulting company, helping overseas companies to expand market in China in short-term and for long-term goal, ...

Life experiences and people shape us and define who we are. I would have never become the person I am today if it was not for University of Wisconsin-Madison. The fantastic university life in the U.S. has turned me into a grown-up in many aspects and has made my choices and actions more mature. Apart from cutting edge knowledge, I had the opportunity to communicate with students coming from different nations and cultures.

When I was a kid I lost my maxillary central incisors and that strongly impressed me as I can vividly recall feeling self-consciousness. I remember this period of inner turmoil, various dental procedures I had to come through which restored my self-confidence. I had experience later in my life which brought me face-to-face with people in a foreign land who struggled with dental health issues. These memories ultimately awaked within me a desire to become a dentist. While my self-consciousness helped me to appreciate the value of dental health, a series of treatments in the following years brought me to the place where my ...

I believe that gaining this degree is very important, as is further continuation of my higher education to achieve a Masters Degree. I know that acquiring as much theoretical background as I can about core business concepts will be invaluable if I am to achieve all the aspirations I possess for a successful career in international business management.

My infatuation for Mathematics, Physics and Finance began when I was in elementary school. Although this area of studies is quite odd for girls, my attention was instantly hooked, and I found myself interested in different aspects of Mathematics, intrigued by the ways Physics can explain complex phenomena by simple and elegant theories and formulas, and determined to study the mechanism of monetary matters.

I have been following the chosen path ever since I graduated from high school. I showed excellent performance in my school classes, and this tendency was kept throughout my undergraduate studies in the University of ...

My desire to become a physician began in childhood. I was the seventh of twelve children. When I was a child I witnessed the great admiration that my grandfather had for his doctor. It was this doctor who had diagnosed my grandfather’s heart condition and then treated and cared for him after his heart attack. My grandfather’s doctor was a compassionate man. This doctor was the man who first ignited in me the spark that would drive me to become a doctor, too. My five years in medical school were years filled with discovery. As I progressed in my program, I ...

Staying and watching my father undertake engineering work was fun and cheering. I could clearly figure out that there was uniqueness in his work and certainly, I loved what he did. Engineering was the first thing I was exposed to as a young man and as some would say, I grew up in it. My childhood exposure to the engineering career made me develop interest of joining the University of Michigan to pursue my academic and career goals. The cultural background of my family has also motivated me into pursuing a course in engineering at the University of Michigan. I have ...

Using the science and knowledge of physics in order to advance human health has a long provenance. Wilhelm Röntgen ushered-in the modern age of Medical Physics at the end of the 19th century and the breadth of the science has steadily widened since. The early advances in medical radiation revolutionized diagnostic medicine as imaging replaced fallible ears and diverse interpretations of tactile impressions as the chief method of diagnosis. Today, medical physics has progressed to therapeutic medicine with lasers replacing the scalpel and brachytherapy revolutionizing cancer treatment. The Medical Physics program at the University of Toledo is well equipped ...

A Master of Arts in Public Relations would be the best step for me to take in my educational journey to meet my career goals.

I have benefited during my studies in Milan by learning practical management ...

Childhood memories, interests and impressions have long proved to have a great impact on one’s further development. When I was a little kid, I used to be fond of building Lagos, solving puzzles and doing any art that involved craftsmanship. My father used to travel on his work errands quite a lot, so he often brought me different curious puzzles for me. I was also keen on exploring the inside mechanisms of various objects around me. For example, one time I was so curious to see what was inside my cousin’s teddy bear, that I could not help but tore ...

The continuous change in our domestic business environment and threat of global competition are forcing me to seek for ways and means to improve myself in order to expand our family business. I am an entrepreneur from Thailand. My family business is into manufacturing of plastic sandals and we have been successful so far, selling our products in the domestic market. Some of the companies we deal with export our products to neighboring countries, such as Laos and Vietnam. With the imminent establishment of ASEAN Economic community (AEC) in 2015, I realized that while global competition in inevitable, there ...

I believe education is a major pillar in the economic development of many countries. Just as planning for harvest begins with sowing of a seed, education is very vital in the development of most countries and even the development of the individual’s life as a whole. Therefore, the development of countries and individual’s sense of awareness calls for education of the individual’s whole being. As an international student, I believe the acquisition of skills through education is important in the acquisition and formation of the human capital. Therefore with the education offered to me, I will have a strong investment on ...

I am very fortunate to be an undergraduate student of English at the University of Dammam, in Saudi Arabia. During my studies, I discovered that I am passionate about literature in general and English literature in particular. I believe that English literature possesses an overwhelming power; it has the ability to entertain as well as challenge the reader to appreciate a deeper understanding of the world. One of the great novels that had a huge impact on me was Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Reflective of Victorian times, the various themes inspired me to question conventional wisdom regarding the independence of ...

It is largely argued that education is the key to personal success in diverse areas. Whereas most people have access to education, going through the higher levels in education still remain a dream for many.

In fact, in my entire academic journey, this has been one of the motivating factors to always push on and perhaps be among the best scholars. It is because of this desire that has triggered my ambition to enroll in the MBA ...

Why I Want to Pursue a Career in Medicine, Why I Will Be an Asset to the College, and Further Information Including My Previous Accomplishments

I come from a family of doctors, so perhaps considering a career in medicine is a logical step for me. Having been raised in that family environment, I naturally became interested in medical matters. Looking back, I think that from an early age I dreamed of becoming a physician, although I have to admit that my interest intensified when my beloved Grandma was diagnosed with cancer and then underwent several surgical procedures as a consequence during the last 12 months. Thankfully she is now apparently free of the cancer. We all tend to take our everyday amenities and facilities for granted; it is only ...

1. The extent to which you feel you have attained the course objectives. Please be specific and address each of the objectives.

I believe that the medical sociology is isolated as a social institution. As a social institution, medicine has value (objectives, principles, and codes), structure, and function, form its organization, symbols, statuses and roles (doctors, patients, government, etc.), the system of vocational stratification and vocational education. Allocation of medical sociology as an independent branch was only in the 50s of 19th century in the United States. For the first time, a new industry was in demand for sociological education student health professionals (Cockerham, 2011).

In this course I found that the concept of demography and the subject of her study and the population ...

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 ...

Born in 1982 in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, my interest in library and information science dates back to my studies in high school. During this time, I excelled in library and research and earned a full marks. Due to this growing interest, I decided to pursue a career in information studies.

I was deeply impressed by the challenging lecturers and their desire to develop creativity. My goals, inspired by the lecturers, where to ...

Every single phenomenon in this world is based on the figures – either this is the simplest electronic device, or the money in a wallet, or logistics, or even a boiling kettle. Absolutely everything we are surrounded by is all about figures. No wonder that the first time I closely got acquainted with the world of figures was when I was a child. Thanks to my family I was able to realize a significant importance of those amusing hooks scratched on the paper very early and thus, it helped me shape my life and career aspirations before I actually could think them over.

...

While most people are obsessed with the idea of making a fortune pursuing a career in business affairs or in a fast-growing IT field, some still care about the core of our existence – our physical and mental health. It goes without saying that health is one of those priceless things in life that money cannot buy, and as soon as I was mature enough to realize it, my future was determined: I was firmly resolved to dedicate my life to medicine and health care. Particularly, I wanted to deal with Psychiatry, as 8 of 10 leading causes of disability in the ...

Personal Statement

I have chosen biology as my field of study, in order to facilitate my career objective to be an entrepreneur in the field of medical services – specifically in-vitro-fertilization (IVF) and sperm banking. This Bachelor of Sciences degree in biology will provide me with the necessary qualification and background to establish myself as a laboratory director in any of the countries I have short-listed as possible locations to start my own business. Most of those are either in South America (Argentina, Chile, and Colombia) or in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, and Russia). As Russia is my home country, that could ...

Physical therapy is a challenging and demanding career. Working in conjunction with other health care professionals, the role of the physical therapist is indispensible to improving the quality of life of a patient who is otherwise incapacitated in some respect. The corpus of knowledge that must be attained is quite large and covers the entire range of human physiology, and consequently further specialization exists to learn an heal more specific ailments that afflict the patients.

My interest in Physical therapy became evident during my academic work towards the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine. Following my degree, I ...

Tell us about an experience, in school or out, that caused you to rethink or change your perspective. What impact has this had on you?

After graduating from Medical School, I was given the opportunity to be an observer at a Sports Medicine clinic. I was always familiar with the many career paths Sports Medicine can take; but after working with a Kinesiologist, I was at awe of all the further possibilities which the study of movement could actually offer. The field of study actually complements one’s previous academic pursuit and serves the similar purpose of improving the quality of lives of people who practitioners get to eventually interact with. I was therefore allowed to use my knowledge of medicine and fuse it with facets ...

Over the past few years, I have attained a blend of diverse scientific knowledge, time management and analytical skills. Being born in a period where science thrives and is persistently employed as a foundation to resolve all individual’s problems, I yearn for the knowledge it bestows. Life as a student at University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, brought rewards and challenges that I think promoted and contributed volumes of positive effort into my temperament.

I was introduced to the concept of Public Health and Community Medicine since the beginning of medical school. I liked many aspects of it. I believe the Public Health ...

While sitting on the bench by the tree on a Tuesday afternoon, a sudden sound caught my attention. Looking up straight from the newspaper, I was unable to figure out as to what was going on. The hustle and the bustle of the crowd veiled the actual scene. To join them, I directed to the place of commotion. Alas, a girl between 10 to 12 years of age was sitting on the middle of the road, adamant not to move. Upon taking a closer look, I noticed something peculiar about her; with a slightly deformed body, she was certainly a special child. I went near ...

It is important for an individual to be successful to have knowledge of different subjects and fields rather than only one. Moreover, working experience at the same field helps the individual in polishing and improving his skills. I have the knowledge in the field of finance and have working experience of working at different hierarchy in a financial institution, Bank Center Credit. However I have not restricted my knowledge to only this subject but have learnt other related subjects as well including Economics, Management, Business management etc. In addition to this, it is also significant for an individual to have ...

Advancing in the field of academics is one of the achievements that many scholars look forward to accomplishing. I am a scholar who is interested in furthering my education in the Joint MS Information Technology and Management /MBA Program at University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). I know that venturing into a new environment always results in various challenges. As such, I anticipate some emotional, social and academic challenges.

It will no longer be a business activity that is just based on personal experience as it generally ...

Many children express their desire for a dream profession. Often, this desire changes as they grow up, but from a very young age, I knew I wanted to enter the priesthood. I met a priest in my formative years who helped me shape and grow into this dream; he has helped me time and again to find the right path to realize my eventual goal of entering the priesthood. It was recommended, by multiple members of the clergy, that I attend the University of Illinois at Chicago to study philosophy, as it is superior to many of the alternatives due to the ...

I can spend days reading the professional literature, imagining myself as one of the university students, and later on as one of the workers at some transnational company.

Reflecting on my personal experiences, I appreciate the extensive impact of science in my life. I was born and brought up in Mekele in Ethiopia. The region was plagued by drought and civil war. As a result, people endured a lot of suffering and they strived to survive. Staying healthy was akin to a violent brawl. There was a shortage of doctors and medical supplies. A lot of people lost their lives, a fact that bothered me. Similarly, access to education in such an environment was almost impossible.

My parents were lucky to have secured an education. My worked as a teacher while my mother ...

Chemistry taught me the importance of perseverance and hard work. When I first started studying chemistry in High School, I thought it was difficult and incomprehensible. I was fortunate enough to have an excellent teacher who made me want to work hard at chemistry and showed me that once you had a good introduction to a field, everything was possible.

The discovery of chemistry taught me patience and discipline and the importance of hard work to accomplish a goal and it changed my life.

One of the life-changing lessons that chemistry gave me was the value of a good educator. A passionate teacher ...

My journey in the field of business began some years back when I decided to let the thought of dealing with numbers sink in my whole being. I can ...

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 name is .. I am applying for the (program name) at your esteemed medical institution. I am writing this personal statement as a part of my application and hope that, by the end of this essay, I will have conveyed a better understanding of myself as a person as well as a student.

I can say that business is in my genes. With a mother who runs a hotel and a father who owns an IT company, I think that it would be only natural for me to follow in their footsteps. I am currently completing a degree in Finance and I plan to further my education by attending business school.

I am highly proficient in my major, as evidenced by my excellent grades and my membership in the Golden Key International Honor Society. Even prior to this, I have been an honor student while completing an Associate in Arts and Sciences degree and was a recipient ...

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.
