With fascination I looked amazed at my mother’s first laptop as she brought it home in the first day she bought it. Although I was only four years of age, I understood back then that that was not a toy, but something very serious, something that attracted me. I was too young to understand its mechanisms, but I soon started to turn it on by myself and to enter in my mother’s programs. My fascination for my mother’s laptop grew so much that in my first day of school I told my mother that I want to ...

I have been dreaming of pursuing my Masters of Science degree in business since well before I graduated from secondary school.

At the University of Nebraska, I worked extremely hard and ...

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. ...

Being a committed and gifted international student, I am applying to the USC Marshall School of Business. My devotion to exact sciences, such as math and physics, including but not limited to other fields, are of my genuine interest.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

My ultimate goal since I started my academic career in biology was to count myself among the foremost professionals in the field; much of that relates closely to receiving as complete an education as possible and taking a challenging, full-time position as a college professor.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

My name is (name), I earned my degree in English Literature from King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. My background in English Literature made me ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

My desire to become a physician began during my teenage years while watching my father be treated for rheumatic heart disease. The dedication and caring that the physicians exhibited created a lasting impression on me. As my father recovered, my passion for medicine steadily increased. I soon realized that medicine was not just a career, but rather a way of life. Medicine requires dedication, perseverance, patience, and empathy, and I had set myself to master these traits and become a caring physician in the vein of my father’s doctors. Medicine in my native Libya was a very hard track to enter. I dedicated ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

My name is .. I am applying for the (program name) at your esteemed medical institution.

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.

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 ...

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? ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quality, I believe, is far much better than quantity. This has always been my policy since I was a child. Further, I have faith that the among the most prized investments one can undertake is not only education and training, but also investing in humanity. This drives me into realizing my long-term dream of the need to ensure proper use of water in my country. Further, it would be my joy to free water from contamination and hence safe for drinking among other uses. To make all these a reality, education and training have become indispensable in my life. I strongly ...

I have always demonstrated actions which can help me have a bright future. London School of Economics and Political Science, here ...

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 ...

As someone both adept at management and leadership in business environments, I have a number of goals that will help me achieve the excellence that I desire in my career.

I currently manage 5 centers and a 32 member sales team; I wish to expand that influence into a greater set of regional responsibilities, as well as expand by business ...

I have always had an interest to pursue a career in the engineering field. From an early age, I knew that the field of engineering would be the perfect choice for my future studies. However, due to the fact that engineering is a wide field, I was often undecided on the branch of engineering that I wanted to pursue. As a child, I enjoyed dismantling my toys in an attempt to discover what they were made of. I would then try to re-assemble the parts. Later, in my teens, I discovered that I had a strong passion for maths and chemistry. These subjects were ...

Having liked psychology related activities in both community and academic settings; I gained zeal to pursue a career in general psychology with a main focus in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. At an early age, I got insight about how the society in Saudi Arabia, where I come from, lacks logic. Saudi Arabia is dominated by men; therefore, women do not live up to their dreams due to the existence of social bottlenecks. I pride myself as a great achiever having studied up to this level considering the Saudi culture. Therefore, I believe the skills and knowledge I will gain from studying psychology ...

Question 1

My intended major is mathematical economics. As a child, it was intriguing to see that some successful people made predictions about potential risks in the economy, and the predictions came true. This sparked my interest in mathematics and economics. I came to learn that Mathematics plays a significant role in economics; a role that has been increasing in importance as the years go by. Consequently, I have come to appreciate the fact that Mathematics is progressively important in regard to the expression as well as communication of concepts in economics. Today, activity in financial markets is generally governed by mathematical models. My ...

After a hard day of work, every person longs for peace and quiet, for the sound of closing the door from the inside and becoming one with the peaceful refuge that is called home. However, not all homes provide the same amount of this soothing emotion, so essential to human happiness. Some homes lack color, vibrancy, emotions, life, that delightfully cozy essence. This is the reason why I decided to become an interior designer, to be able to help people make their home a true place of refuge and contentment, where their field of vision would rest on soothing images that ...

Ever since I have known, I was fascinated with things around me, always inquisitive and famished for knowledge, for personal progress and opening new horizons. This has proven to be one of my major traits, molding my personality into that of an extremely curious human being, who treats others as he himself would like to be treated and always desiring to know more.

For the person I am now, I have many people to thank. I come from a close and loving family, who offered unconditional love and support to me and my siblings. My childhood was one filled with ...

In 1929 my grandfather took the train that runs along the Mediterranean coast from Haifa in the historic Palestine, to the city of Beirut in Lebanon. He did so to catch a ship taking off to Brazil, the New World. There was a strong wave of migration to the new world, even though the only way of traveling at that time was by ship, and this took over three months to reach the port of Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the new land, officials referred to my grandfather as the Turku, even though he was, in fact, Arabic. They did so as ...

The medical field to me represents an interesting field with immense possibilities. My journey in the medical field started out with a bachelor’s degree in biology from the Milkins University followed by another degree in clinical laboratory science from the Illinois University. I had made the decision to be part of the medical world after my mother had a brush with cancer. Prior to that, I had weighed several options but none had particularly impressed me. Watching her recover fully and later on become cancer free was proof to me that being involved in the diagnosis, care and treatment of ...
