I would like to share with you my first successful
personal statement. This statement paved the road for me to study abroad as an exchange student at State University of New York at Cobleskill, US, through
a program sponsored by the US Department of State called NESA. Here is my
statement as it is since Dec 2010, without any changes.
"Marketing is critical to the success of every
organization. People already know about marketing – that is all around them. At
home, at school, where you work, and where you play, you see marketing in
almost everything you do. The baby when cries, the employee when interviews,
the company when advertise, and when you write your name on your bag, are all
marketing themselves. I will market myself in this statement to convince you
that I am worthy to take this opportunity.
My interest in
this field blossoms every time I do shopping where I miss our national products
in the market. We are suffering from a weak economy. I want to contribute to
find a solution to this problem. During studying in the faculty of commerce I
came to understand that small businesses play an important role in sprouting
the economy. Unfortunately we hardly have small businesses, and they are not
based on scientific approaches. I hope, after finishing my studies, to generate
small businesses ideas adapted to our local circumstances.
I know that the road to achieve my goals is full with
hard work, therefor; I decided to finish the bachelor in accounting with
excellence degree. I have a big ambition and high motive to get the CPA to be a
certified public accountant; Thus, I study hard to understand every aspect in
the accounting field.
As I am studying in English-accounting department, I
work hard to improve my English, which is important to keep me updated with the
developing science of economy.
In my leisure time, I keep in touch with the society.
Now I am a member in al-Wedad, a social rehabilitation organization, in which
we undertake various activities such as supporting woman rights and building
capacity of the youth. In addition, I keep upgrading myself by taking different
courses. Recently, I finished training of trainer course – TOT, preparation
course for the TOFEl and advance level -12 English course. Beside that, I am
active and energetic person because the sound mind in the sound body.
I would like to be in this program because it will
help me achieve many of my goals. First, I will experience the strongest
economy in the world and the successful businesses that will help me to
generate new ideas. Secondly, I will be with highly qualified teachers and
competitive students that will encourage me to study harder. Thirdly, I will
have the chance to improve my English skills. Finally, I am very enthusiastic
to deal with people from different cultures.
To conclude, I assure you that if I take this
opportunity, I will prove myself a capable and dedicated student. I know that I
am highly interested in Accounting as a subject and the potential for success
in order to achieve what I want. Finally, I believe that I have the commitment
and the determination to complete this program successfully and fulfill my
ambitions."
I hope you like it, and that you get the most out of
it. Also, you can use these ideas in the future. I am looking forward to your comments and opinions.
