A police officer from Los Angeles, a dedicated public servant, I am as comfortable working in the office as walking the beat. A compassionate and sensitive man, I have always struggled to do what is right, even though police officers sometimes have to directly face supreme difficulties in figuring out exactly what that entails in any given situation. My first choice for graduate study is at the University XXX, Planning, and Development in the Executive Master of Leadership Pr

My first choice for graduate study towards the Ph.D. degree is at XXXX University for a variety of reasons. I am especially interested in studying 20th century continental philosophy especially, and several professors in your program are experts in this area. I would also love to study philosophy abroad which is also something that your program has to offer. I particularly look forward to studying phenomenology because, after reading numerous works in this area, this paradigm

I spent the first half of my life tripping across the world, visiting six of the seven continents of the world, living in Holland and France as well as the United States. My parents work brought me a level of cultural competency few if any of my classmates could ever hope to attain. I clearly remember visiting the Soviet Union in the 1970s and especially getting caught up in what is now called the 1980 Turkey coup d'tata. This past summer, though, while in Japan on a study ab

Growing up in Seoul, Korea, I was immersed in a city which has grown into a truly global city. I clearly recall looking up at the skyscrapers, at the feet of giant whose shadows stretched for miles; the engineers abilities and imagination seemed staggering and limitless. The city is truly enormous, the world's second-largest metropolitan, with half of the entire South Korean population calling the greater Seoul area home. More than this, Seoul is my country's chief economic,

For the past seven years, I have maintained a consistent aim in my academic career. Beginning with my time in high school, I have immersed myself in the pursuit of increasing my communication skills in English and proficiency in algebra, trigonometry, as well as calculus and computer courses. I found that my greatest strengths and enjoyment in math was in vectors, differential and integral calculus. My BS in Mechanical Engineering, introduced me to the basics, and brought foc

The path that has led me to become a pursuant to a graduate-level teaching program is a unique story of strength, courage, and resilience in the face of incredible adversity. August 8th, 1978 saw the Soviet invasion of my homeland of Afghanistan. As the 40th Soviet Army deployed itself, we prayed for normality to return, but the Soviet occupation steadily escalated to extreme levels, violence and seemingly random incarcerations, with no immediate end in sight. We held out as

Your program is my first choice for graduate school because of its excellence and the fact that I would not be so for away from my family in Michigan. I feel strongly that my BS Degree has adequately prepared me academically for the rigors of your program, especially since I have spent much of my free time reading a broad range of literature related to medical professions and especially the role of the Physician Assistant. As a woman with parents from the Middle East, I look

I grew up with a camera in my hand walking around family parties asking the ones I love the silliest of questions. My dream has always been to be a journalist, but not just any journalist; like the military, I want to be all that I can be. Although my academic record is not as strong as that of some other applicants to your program, I am very strong willed, focused, self-assured, organized, curious, and have an unwavering dedication to the principles of ethics and honesty tha

My experiences as a teacher in Africa have been the single-most influential part of my professional development. Still only 25, I have already spent many years cultivating a professional demeanor and excellent communications skills. While an undergraduate student, for example, I spent two years as a Resident Hall Advisor, enforcing school policies and resolving conflicts, laboring to maintain a healthy learning environment for 30 residents and also planning and organizing com

Before we can discuss why I am pursuing a Community Counseling degree, we need to discuss where I have come from. I thought I was in love, that he was the one. I was 19 and, looking back, a child bride. For three years I knew something was horribly wrong. I tried to fix it, and yet we had two children. My husband's alcoholism and abuse were too much to bear. Hitting bottom was not enough. I'd hit bottom before, and there are no answers there. The only hope for our survival my

Civil war, suffering, death, and crippling poverty are things most Americans, and thankfully so, will never experience. Before I was 24, I had experienced all four, fleeing everything I had ever known as a civil war tore apart my homeland of Somalia. Living in refugee camps, I finally gained passage to Pakistan, where I finished my high school education. People do not often think about how refugees have hopes and dreams over and above survival and peace. While I pray for peac

I am extremely curious as to how the universe functions as a macroscopic system, within which are numerous microscopic systems. These fundamental paradigms have fascinated me for many years and, due to my inquisitive nature, are the predominate reasons for my enthusiasm for Physics. Their exploration and analysis intrigues me, and this is an area that I wish to pursue further. I believe that this is a well-respected academic discipline, which will provide excellent career pro

To me the application of physics is what makes physics useful and interesting. I find studying physics at A-Levels interesting and challenging, in particular the areas of theory and experimental work. I now hope to exploit my talent and interest by pursuing a career as a pilot. I have been fascinated by the complexity of aviation and the uses it has provided for people in their lives. Having travelled by aeroplanes my interest in aircraft grew with time. I understand that the

Having grown up in a house where children have been ever-present I know the challenges that are faced when working with those who are of a primary school age. I have also have been able to develop a knowledge of the benefits of working with a group of bright, intuitive children who are beginning their careers in Education. As the son of a parent who has worked as both a childminder and a special needs assistant in a Primary School I have been able to experience firsthand the

I have wanted to pursue a career in Primary Education for several years now. I also greatly enjoy my studies of English, having achieved A grades at AS level in both English Literature and English Language, which is why I wish to study this as a specialism. I have a love of children, and there are many reasons why a career in this field appeals to me. I enjoy interaction with children on their own level, gaining insight into their perceptions and how they see the world. The i

My choice of career was initially difficult. My interests are widely varied, covering everything from biology to philosophy and from art to technology. I have come to see engineering as a discipline that can satisfy and further develop my interests. I have enjoyed studying Maths and Physics at A-Level, and this has helped me to refine my problem-solving skills as well as increasing my theoretical knowledge. I am especially interested how maths reveals parallels between separa

I enjoyed Maths and Physics at Secondary School and this lead me to study them both at A-Level. I love reading books about them particularly those on theoretical Physics. I have always enjoyed finding out what makes the universe work and studying Physics would allow me to find out more. A course in theoretical Physics would also allow me to explore and use Maths in a greater detail. My main area of reading has been in 'fashionable' Physics such as Wormholes, Black Holes and S

I find a constant source of pleasure in conceptualising unfamiliar ideas as well as thinking logically and analytically to arrive at satisfying and often beautiful proofs. I am fascinated by the ubiquity of maths and the way that it underpins everything around us. I encountered binary maths at the age of five and since then have found numbers and logic bewitching. I have had many opportunities to apply my maths skills over the years. In year 7, I obtained a gold award in the

Furthering my mathematical knowledge has been a source of great pleasure for me for all of my academic career, and continues to be such. My dedication for mathematics comes out in my other A level courses of physics and philosophy, which have strong, long held links with mathematics; this is a strong motivation for me to study these areas in greater depth. Having frequently taken part in optional mathematics lessons outside of the standard curriculum shows an ongoing commitme

Mathematics is a subject that attracts me because of its beauty and its intricacy. My passion for this subject has developed because of its ingenuity; the challenging task of solving difficult problems, subsequently recognising a more lucid, smarter solution that can be adapted to be used in similar problems in the future. Ingenuity in Mathematics; by Ross Honsberger is an example of a text that has fuelled my drive to widen my mathematical knowledge. I find it fascinating ho

Mathematics is a concept used by most, enjoyed by few. I have always considered myself a member of this minority, yet the question of why it was mathematics I wish to study at university puzzled me. I thought that not to find a logical answer for this question would undermine the foundations of the subject which I have regarded so highly. After thorough contemplation of this question it came to me that my passion for the subject did not come from my personal ambitions of beco

My passion for mathematics was fixed at the age of ten, on the morning that my mathematics teacher told I would be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge, 'as practice for when you are older'. As I nervously started to answer the questions, a whole world began to open before me. I revelled in the problem solving, answering questions of a nature I had not seen before. My teachers were delighted when I emerged from the exam hungry for more. Since then I have consistently demonstrat

I love the challenge that Mathematics can provide. No other subject offers me the reward of total satisfaction in successfully tackling a problem that might have seemed insurmountable but is later discovered to have required only a different approach. I have a real passion for learning and Mathematics is helping me to develop a more logical and systematic approach to study. The increasingly analytical approach is helping me in many ways not all of which, are science based. I

I have chosen to study Mathematics at university because I enjoy its challenging nature and get particular satisfaction from addressing its more demanding aspects. Problem solving appeals to me as does the requirement for intellectual commitment when addressing this subject at a higher level. My profound interest was prompted by my attending a series of Maths Masterclasses at the Royal Institute of Mathematics in Year 9. The lectures addressed problems which required a greate
