Although I was born an American, my family emigrated to Tehran, Iran when I was eight. Spending my formative years in Iran, becoming educated and competent in several languages, I subsequently returned to the US as an adult. I have been given two sets of experiences, two cultures and two world views from which to draw, and thereby have achieved a high level of cultural competency. Living in Iran, one gets exposure to many cultures, Middle Eastern as well as Asian and North Af

I was born and raised in Argentina, and I moved to New York seven years ago. I studied for two years to be an English teacher and interpreter in Argentina until I moved to New York. I have a B.A. from XXXX College (January 2006) with a major in English Language Arts and a minor in Psychology. XXXX College is the only program that I am applying to because I love the school and very much want to study here for my Master's Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language

A Japanese woman, I spent my childhood in Hong Kong and Taiwan, surrounded by people whose native language was different from mine. Thus, I have English when I was nine years old. My first English teacher was an Indian woman whose mother tongue was also not English. Although a solid Indian accent marked her English, her enthusiastic attitude to teaching English contributed enormously to my passion for English. I majored in English American Literature at XXXX University, thus

I ask for admission to your distinguished program to pursue my education to the terminal degree in my field based on my intense passion for occupational justice. I have been inspired to believe that all of us, especially the weakest and most vulnerable among us, have a right to live each day in dignity, which includes being occupied in activities that provide meaning and value to their lives. I want to give my life to research into the challenges faced by individuals and grou

I have been a PT Assistant since 1998 and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient types. I both enjoy my work and feel that I provide a vital service, this highly satisfying combination eludes most people in their working lives and I feel very fortunate to have found it. I regard Physical Therapy as more a vocation than merely a career choice and I now seek to extend and broaden my skills and knowledge in order to increase my

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a logical progression for me as a person as well as for my career. Whilst performing work as a Home Care Assistant for Service Users in their own homes, providing personal care for the elderly and the disabled, I came to realize that my contribution was more than just fulfilling a job: I was adding value to the lives of people. I was encouraging my clients to better themselves physically, emotionally and psychologically, doing for themselves, chal

I want to become an OT professional because we work with patients of all ages, helping them with everything from using a computer to getting bathed and dressed, on the one Therapy goes beyond physical rehabilitation. I search for exercises that may be employed to help increase a patient's strength, especially their ability to manipulate and handle objects successfully, hand-eye coordination; many patients need help rehabilitating their eyesight. The rehabilitation or manageme

In 2003 I completed my HIGCSEs in Pretoria; the city I lived in for 12 years of my life. I had dreamt of studying in Britain since childhood; this motivated me to gain international qualifications through home study, which in turn helped me to develop my own study style and ethic. So in 2004 I left home and moved to Andover, Hampshire where I took A levels in English Literature, Biology and Chemistry to add to the English, History, Economics and Biology qualifications I'd att

I was born and raised in Chisinau, the capital city of Moldova, one of the 15 former republics of the USSR. Now 29 years old, I locate the beginnings of my interest in politics at the age of 13 when the USSR dissolved and we found ourselves set half free; Russian troops remain in the country until today. My relatives had to flee the Eastern part of the country during the Transnistrian conflict, just because they are Romanians. Almost victims of ethnic cleansing, my family is

I will be graduating in June (2018) from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a BSc Degree in Surveying. The principle reason why I chose to study in this area is because I am convinced that it is excellent preparation for a career in Real Estate. Your Program in Real Estate Finance at XXXX University is my first choice for graduate study for a variety of reasons, mostly the sheer excellence of your program. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand in Hong Ko

I am a Latino real estate professional who has been working in the industry since my graduation from college with dual degrees in Management and International Business in 2001. Since then I have been devoting myself almost exclusively to real estate development, both in Miami and Mexico City. Over the course of these past 15 years, I have been exposed to a broad variety of challenges in the Real Estate Development Industry, almost all of which I have met with my utmost stren

XXXX University’s cutting-edge Master’s Program in Real Estate Development is the best springboard to put me where I want to be. While I am already a successful real estate broker and developer in Los Angeles, I want much more. Your program at XXXX will be the foundation upon which I rise to the cutting edge of real estate development in one of the world’s most competitive markets. Georgetown is my first choice because I see your program as the most rigorous and thoroughgoing

XXXX University’s MS in Real Estate Program is my first choice for graduate school for a variety of reasons. Most of all, I appreciate the way that you emphasize the importance of contributing to the inclusive and sustainable development of communities as well as the need for corporate and social responsibility. My long term goal is not to become as rich as possible; rather, I see real estate development as a social and potentially even a humanitarian service; and I hope to s

For the past eight years, I have maintained a conceptual continuity in my academic and professional careers, an unswerving commitment to providing the finest Accountancy and Real Estate finance service that I can. I have faced each new challenge with increasing creativity, enthusiasm, with a work ethic and discipline born of six years of serving my country in the US Army. Moreover, I have been left wanting to give that much more, on a greater scale, and to be a greater cont

For over a decade, I have maintained a conceptual continuity in my professional career as the founder and developer of my own real estate development company. I have met my principal challenges so far and been able to take advantage of many valuable opportunities, but I want to give back something more to my community, on a greater scale, and increase my depth of understanding. Entering into an academic relationship with XXXX is more than just a logical step, it is a natura

Sometimes the journey is what counts. For the past sixteen years, I have maintained a consistent and certain course in my academic, volunteer and professional careers. At times, even without realizing it, I have been spreading the Word of God, and I have seen laid out before me many opportunities, which I have willingly taken, to bring God's message to those that are in need. My path is leading me to work as a XXX. Given my twenty-nine months of shadowing a military chaplain,

I am a 28-year-old Saudi Arabian man who has dedicated his life to communication in English. I love the idea of a global language, and for better or for worse, history has chosen English. I lived in the UK for a-year-and-a-half, culminating in my MA Degree. This of course was the most professionally formative experience that I have had thus far as a TESOL Professional. I began with Intensive English courses for 3 months in XXXX College in Edinburgh. Then I moved to Durham. Fi

I grew up in a small village on one of the highest mountains in my country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since I was twelve years old, my principal dream has been to perfect my English skills as much as possible. I started learning English with a small red book which I still have until this day. By the time I finished high school, I found myself still very unsatisfied with the progress that I had made in terms of both my verbal and writing skills and I wanted very much to beg

Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for reading and writing and I believe that English is the ideal course for me to study at university. In school, English has consistently been my strongest subject and one that I find the most challenging, yet rewarding. My reading tastes are eclectic and I admire many writers, from those typically studied academically, such as Shakespeare, to contemporary novelists like Zadie Smith. My involvement in writing for Reality (the yout

I am an English teacher from Saudi Arabia. I would very much like to study towards the Ph.D. in Composition TESOL at XXXX University because of the excellent reputation of the program and the fact that it has been recommended to me and are now working as professors at universities in Saudi Arabia. Since my undergraduate years, I have been heavily immersed in the study of both theoretical and applied linguistics, especially in the areas of syntax and morphology, I have worked

My homeland of Libya is a country of many languages with many differing dialects of multiple origins, including Afro-Asiatic, Semitic, Tamazight, Awjila-Sokna, Indo-European, Indo-Iranian, Indo-Aryan, Zenati, and Tamashek. Growing up, traveling, being educated, and educating others in this incredibly culturally-diverse environment, I have been fortunate enough to learn and be conversant, reading and writing three languages, French, as well as Arabic and English. Furthermore,

Specialized techniques for reaching both adults and children. By completing a post-baccalaureate advanced certificate program in TESOL, I will be more able to bring my ambitions and goals my dreams to fruition. There is a distinct need in South Korea for after-school programming and nursery schools, that couple music appreciation with language education. I have seen this need and am certain I could positively contribute to filling this cultural and educational void, to give S

Most students in my country, Saudi Arabia, fail to become sufficiently engaged learning as well as a student of English, has intrigued me for many years. Thus, I have become increasingly dedicated to pursuing a career as an ESL/EFL professional, researcher, and professor. I see your program at XXXX University as the finest in the world because of its creativity, state-of-the-art facilities, and it's charming diversity. I am pleased to report that the Saudi Ministry of Higher

I am a young woman from Brazil whose major constant in life has been a profound love and respect for nature, especially animals and the way that we depend upon them for our own survival and well being. At 27, I feel that I am at the optimal point in my life to pursue graduate school, having had a chance to adapt well to life in the USA, fully adopting Minnesota as my new home, and preparing myself for full time study and research in English. I relocated here not long after fi
