I know that in the longer term my upcoming studies will help me to secure a position that will lead to a long career in finance. I have acquired some insight into the world of finance in business through ...

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 ...

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.

At the moment I am finishing my third year in the BA Honours Fashion Communication & Marketing department. My project for January is staging a Diane von Furstenberg showroom in Milan.

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 ...

When I tell people I am from China, I think they often think of a big city, like Shanghai or Beijing; my home city is different, though. I am from central China, in the Henan province. My home city is called Luoyang, and it is rich with history. It took me a long time to understand the history of my home and how it came to make me who I am today.

Luoyang is a beautiful city, situated on the northern side of a river. It was home to Lao Tzu, the founder of Daoism and Zhao Kuangyin, the first member of the ...

Academic challenges must be met with an open mind while remaining grounded in intense discipline and focus. Three and a half years ago I came to the United States hardly speaking any English. I enrolled in my local high school in New York City where I was exposed to many people of diverse backgrounds. Initially, school was very difficult. The difficulty of making friends in a new language is only exceeded by the struggle to learn chemistry in a new tongue. Despite this handicap, through dedication and perseverance I managed to learn a new language and prepare myself for future academic success.

I have always been fascinated by the written word; from the first time I picked up a book, to my own literary efforts today, the thrill of language has been an inextricable part of my life. Of particular interest to me is literary fiction: I pride myself on being a student of literature in my free time as well as in academia, always taking on new books and reading every day. I dive as best I can into literary criticism and scholarship of major works, and keep an eye on what new literary trends are driving the authors of today. I ...

The business person who is both socially astute and civilly responsible is the one that will go the farthest. I firmly believe this, and take it to heart in my interaction with both the world of academia and the world outside the university system. I come to that system intending to pursue a major in business. I believe that by doing so I will be able to give back to my community, and the world at large, through pursuing business prospects that are good for both me, and society as a whole. This outlook enables me to move forward as part ...

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 ...

Indeed, every single endeavour has its own timing. On the other hand, I have faith that quality is better than quantity. With these as the main driving factors in my life, I have no doubt that this is the best season to realize my long term dream of pursuing degree program in dentistry. Since I was a child, I keenly observed how most people took less or no time in observing oral hygiene. Moreover, the desire to give back to my community has always crossed my mind time and again. The knowledge that most people do not ...

Personal statement.

The foundation for my zeal to study in business related courses grew up after my graduation from Bodwell High School in December 2011. This was after learning that entrepreneurship and innovation are the key elements in driving an economy and building ones future (Wolf 2009, pp.34). I learnt that business is the core foundation of growth and that the government is in the forefront in pushing for studying business. The course has a ready market in terms of employment and sole proprietorship.

Becoming an attorney was never a professional path that I considered as a young girl growing up in Armenia. 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 ...

When people think of China, I think they often think of places like Beijing and Shanghai, these sprawling metropolitan places packed tight with millions and millions of people. Or maybe they think of the cold, gray country that exists to the west. My birth city, Guilin, is nothing like these places. I come from the southern part of China, from the Guangxi province, where everything is warm, green, and beautiful. I was lucky to be born in Guilin. My family was lucky also, and were quite prosperous in the years before I was born. Still, I was the first ...

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 ...

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 ...

Life is filled with uncertainty, because at times we think we are trailing one path then all of a sudden we encounter someone or something that will change the course of our life for good. Life’s unpredictability showed me that I am still a project in the making. I believe that the choices I made in life are the compilation of my everyday encounters that molded my decision to pursuing this monumental career decision.

“Sasha, ihre fahrt ist hier.” At my teacher’s demand, I ran from my seat with such enthusiasm that I have never experienced before, and left behind everything I owned. I raced to the parent pick up line where my mother stood eagerly waiting to inform me of what she thought was good news. My parents were in military, so I spent most of my early life apart from them as they relocated every three years. This day was not only peculiar in that my mother came to pick me up, but it was the last Thursday I would ...

While I do not like to think of myself as better than anyone else, I know that I am a highly ambitious person. I want to transfer in order to feed this need to achieve and excel. What I need is the best education that I can strive to get, and to be one of the best experts in my major and field.

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 ...

I am currently studying at the University of Greenwich, and I am in the accelerated 2-year Bachelor’s Degree programme at this particular University.

I know that two years is not a long time, so I have to make sure that I am completely prepared when I go ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Personal Statement: Make the World Move Forward

I have always studied hard, because I have a passionate ambition to study computer science at the University of Washington so that I can one day return to help poor children in rural China, who currently have little or no opportunity to obtain a decent education. In high school I was captain of the soccer team, as I was very good at sports, as well as being in the top flight in most of my academic subjects. I am an immigrant from China, living in the U.S. with my mother who does not speak English, and have to work as well ...

A Global Leader in the Construction Field

I was born in Tokyo Japan and attended school there until age 17, when I came to the United States as an exchange student. After graduating from the Japanese High School, Kyoritsu, I attended Temple University to study and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture. It’s through Temple’s rigorous curriculum when exploring ethical and social dimensions of architecture that my leadership interest peaked. Temple’s academic program develops an ethos of responsibility in its students and prepares us to “become effective leaders in practices and discourses surrounding the complex global and local issues of our time.”

When I was still in kindergarten, my mom decided that it would be best for me to skip the last year; therefore I entered primary school earlier than my friends did. I have always been the youngest kid among my classmates. I used to be very lazy, I hated studying and I would cry every time my parents asked me to study. It was quite a shock to jump to primary school from kindergarten.
I had a tutor that would work with me in order to improve my learning skills, till the time I entered high school. Since then time, ...

Medical education requires individual commitment and endurance towards the career. The learning process involved in the medicine world demands not only a carrier choice but also a personal attitude towards the profession with the sole motive of offering humanitarian aid to those who need the help around us, far and beyond. Having worked in a clinic run by neurosurgeons in Iran’s Tehran, I am positive that this is the best calling for me. I am sure that this faculty is the best for me given my desire and love for the profession.

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 ...

A mentor of mine told me that dreams are not achieved by simply working hard—working smart is one of the keys to success. If this is true, then turning my passion into something lucrative definitely sounds like a smart thing to do. That is precisely why I intend to combine my love for computer science and programming with a full-fledged business.
When I was younger, my parents brought me a desktop computer that fascinated me to no end. My uncle was a computer engineer; he motivated me to learn how to use it. Thus, I taught myself strong computer operating skills and ...

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 ...

Personal Statement: Art, Science and Mathematics in Management.

It has often been said that science is an art. Art on the other hand is a tool used in expressing the real, unreal and emerging creativity that is captured by tangible sight, imagination and beyond what is known to be in the universe. From my experience as a student of International College of Continuous Education in Kazakhstan, art could as well be science; but it goes past just the description of the universe. Art and science correlate so well. Computers are gadgets made of science but used for art. Data stored in a computer are managed by systems in the machine, ...

Currently, the global economy is at infantile fixation, characterized by high rates of taxation, deterioration of price values of commodities, and immense low levels of demand market.
