Before I saw my father for the first time at work, I thought that what he was doing, as an aerospace engineer, was some kind of magic. The matter is that I found it out and was first taken to work with my father when I was a kid, and at that time a lot around me I perceived as magic, especially if it fascinated me. However, what I saw my father doing not just fascinated me, but made me wonder for many years after about what were the limits of human imagination and capabilities. I can but say ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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. I have always had a desire to work my way through in all levels of education, through working hard and achieving the best results. 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

When I began my undergraduate studies, I successfully passed with honors. I was very keen to complete my postgraduate studies, which would allow me to teach at the university. I was deeply impressed by the challenging lecturers and their desire to develop creativity. My goals, inspired by the lecturers, ...

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 ...

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 ...

I believe that the nursing profession is one of the noblest professions in the world. Indeed, this can even be traced back to its pioneers such as Florence Nightingale who concerned themselves with looking after those who were injured during the war. Like any other person, they could have chosen to sit on the fence and avoid doing anything. On the contrary, they immersed themselves in the war, not to fight, but to look after those injured during the war. This was irrespective of which side they belonged to. The care that Florence Nightingale and other ...

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 ...

I was born and raised in what is nowadays referred to as the traditional family set up. This is a set up where family values were strongly emphasized. Among other things, I was taught, right from my formative years, that the family is a central unit in the development of any person. I was also taught that my behaviour, whether actions or inaction, bear a reflection on my entire family. These are values which I have held dear in my entire life. I have further extended them in all my interactions. I regard whichever group I associate or work ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before I started running my own company, providing massage therapy and other alternative medicine treatment, I had to face different challenges and take major risks. Moreover, I had to overcome my own problems with health and become courageous enough to look into the depth of my heart to see what I really wanted to do in my life. One of the first such challenging periods of my life started in the late September of 2004, when I got a work contract in the UK for an Industrial Project Management Company. I was very proud about working there, because it ...

Medicine is a life long commitment to learning. The learning process that the physician goes through is for humanistic purposes and our calling is to tend to the ill and the most vulnerable around us. I began learning about people’s vulnerabilities at a young age. As a volunteer in a care home and having worked at clinics abroad, I saw first hand the effects of disease on an individual. Furthermore, I saw the consequences that poverty had on the health of an individual. I have tried to learn how to help people in need of assistance throughout my ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. The academic challenges such as coping with the new teaching methods used by the professors, conceptualizing the various types of assessment procedures, working myself round the volume ...

Please describe your professional goals, your past and present experiences as they related to these goals, and the importance of graduate business study at this point in your career.

I have always had a great passion to become involved in the business world, and this has determined my educational path over the last four years. My main goal is to establish my own real estate firm in Saudi Arabia and bring a higher standard of knowledge and education to this field in my country. It will no longer be a business activity that is just based on personal experience ...

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 ...

In this letter I want to express my deep interest in your Graduate Program. Driven by the idea of becoming a qualified professional in Business field, I am ready to spend years studying, being convinced that my efforts will be eventually appraised. Having a clear understanding that in order to succeed in any field one has to love what he does, and I can undoubtedly assert that I am one of those individuals. 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I am a young energetic person who is driven by the desire to achieve. I am highly motivated with an ultimate goal of being the best of who I really am. In everything I did, I had been focusing on satisfying my internal appeal to better myself. Being a detail oriented person, I always want to continue, learn more, discover the undiscovered and grow as an individual against all odds of life. 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. ...

The story of my life starts pretty modestly, I guess. I grew up in a city located in the central western region of Brazil called Goiania. There, my parents were the proprietors of a private day care facility, which I and my siblings attended during childhood. Seeing my parents throughout the day made me feel loved and protected, and this resulted in me being a rather bold child, who did not refrain from experiments and facing life head on. However, only one second is enough for one’s life to change, for one’s life to be extinguished. I ...

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 ...

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. As a student who has previously studied international business, and would now like to pursue a career in the field of medicine, I believe an explanation of my choices and motivators is in order. Hence, in addition to providing an overview of my background, I ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Accounting, and in fulfillment of my education requirements and professional goals, I am looking for an internship program in the financial or accounting sector.

I recently came across your company’s opening for an intern via the Internship in London website (http://www.internshipinlondon.com/financial-services/internship-in-financial-service-accounting/74) and I was immediately impressed by the extensive requirements and responsibilities you have set for your prospective interns. With the type of internship program that your company has, I feel that it will be the best program that will enable me to apply my theoretical knowledge in a ...

Even as a small child in Brazil, I dreamed of one day working in a profession where I would have the opportunity to help people on a day-to-day basis. When my family moved to America and my mother began working in Dermatology, my passion for the medical profession truly came out. I worked in her office as a secretary and a physician’s assistant and began to grow my experience in the profession. I found it rewarding and fulfilling to interact with the patients and to find solutions to their problems that were right for them. I learned about ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 am determined to pursue it because I want to accrue knowledge and skills to help me in working in the business industry. Life is all about choices and I have always known that in life, one can either make optimistic or pessimistic choices. Above all, I am a realist and I always pursue what I want in future. I have always demonstrated actions which can help me have a bright future. London School of Economics and ...

I am currently a student of economics at the York University in the United Kingdom. I am set to graduate with second class honors in 2013. After my graduation I would like to undertake a management course. My first choice for the management course is the London School of Economics (LSE). The institution is distinguished various social science studies such as political science and economics. I believe that LSE would equip me with in depth knowledge, industry perspective and analytical ability. This knowledge would be vital to me in my future career aspirations as an organizational manager both in ...

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. Within five years, I have several goals in particular to meet: I wish to gain my EMBA in Business in order to assert myself as a much more viable and qualified business professional at my current employer, the Distributor of Honda in Kuwait. 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 ...

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 ...

Analysis of current affairs in the print media shows that accounting and economic issues dominate as compared to other topics. From this analysis, it can be deduced that accounting and economic related disciplines have significant impacts in the modern world. I have deep interests in identifying the behavior of business entities from an economic and accounting perspective, and understand how economic and accounting disciplines affect the business world. I have excelled in academics and produced exceptional results in all subjects of my study experience. My willingness and desire to learn coupled with an element of economic within me heightens ...

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 ...

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 ...

Applying for the Business, Finance and Management program of your institution is a great priority for me for many reasons. First and foremost, it is my desire to begin a career in business and finance after completing my degree at your institution. Business has always been a great area of interest for me; I do my best to keep up with current business and finance news on a daily basis, whether through online or offline sources. I greatly enjoy learning about how the economies of this world work, both local and international, and I very much wish to be ...

Unlike my peers, I have never changed my aspirations and ambitions. I consider myself to be a self-confident person, but at the same time I tend to analyze and think over my own decisions – fortunately, I still have not found a single reason to give up my desire to work in a computer engineering field. Working on numerous projects while getting my Bachelor’s in Electric Engineering has only proved the fact that I feel absolutely comfortable and happy dealing with machines. One more thing I realized was the importance of programming and software for an engineer. That is ...

Choosing a proper and successful lifetime career path is not an easy task to accomplish. Curriculum Vitae is considered to be the first step while starting any career – only in case you can make a prominent CV self-presentation demonstrating appropriate skills and abilities, as well as experience, you have a chance to acquire a perfect career of your dream. Considering all this, I decided to take a Curriculum plus unit as a means to enhance and develop my resume as well as realize my personal and professional skills, work on them and improve them in the process of studying.

I consider myself to be a ...

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 ...

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 ...

In my third year of medicine school at Ross University on November 2008, I was intrigued by a class on open heart surgery of a patient suffering from myocardial infarction. The video documented of each step and explained the logic behind each incision of a heart vessel. This was intriguing to me as what attracted me was the mechanics of the cardiology system. It was like a complex wire system in a machine and an electrician was exploring each wire to find fault; except this time the electrician was a cardiologist. This was even better as the cardiologist was ...

A sports injury I had in college sparked my interest in the field of physical therapy. I was greatly fascinated as my physical therapist evaluated and treated my injury within the span of several weeks. The explanations he gave me about my injury and the techniques he used for treating me brought my imagination to life. They allowed me to visualize everything that was happening inside my body. Every therapy session was a learning experience, such that I decided to take my interest one step further shortly after I recovered from that injury. I volunteered at a physical therapy ...

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 ...
