I never brain stormed whether pharmacy was a suitable career for me or not. All I knew was I wanted to become a pharmacist for better or for worse. Experiences and influences played a role in my choice. Directing my passion and hard work in pursuit of pharmaceutical knowledge is a dream since my early childhood years. I constantly had an interest in Science and technological courses due to the crucial role the two play in the daily lives of people all over the world. Pharmaceutical field integrates chemistry and mathematics with an aim of improving the lives of humans.

 I believe that pharmacy is an attempt of man to save lives and manage pain. A variety of chemicals integrates controlling elements within the human body and ensures human wellbeing. I enjoy serving people and offering medicinal solutions in line with their problems hence the need to venture into the pharmaceutical field.

 I had the role of a retail pharmacist and gained vast knowledge pertaining retail activities. Retail settings taught me how to think on my feet and utilize clinical skills to draw out strategic business perspectives. My tasks included planning, preparations, supplying medications, and other pharmaceutical requirements. This role gave me a sneak pick into the lives of pharmacists.

After the retail work, I made my way to hospital pharmacy. Hospital pharmacy needs tenacity and keen interest in order to serve and cater to the immediate needs of the patients. My routine revolved around socializing with patients and other staff members. Simply put, the work prepared me for pharmaceutical roles. Although not qualified I learnt a lot from walking into the shoes of other people.

 My exploration and passion pushed me further and I am currently a technician at a private pharmaceutical agency. My role was to help it expand and cover enough ground by initiating safe, cost efficient, and delivery of drugs through the agency. Therefore, I have holistic perspectives on issues on pharmacy from developing pharmaceutical businesses to administering medicine to the sick; I am ready to take Pharmacy as a course.

Being a pharmacist presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to serve people in medical attention. I am well aware that it takes hard work and sheer dedication to become a pharmacist but through people appreciation of the work, I will get the satisfaction I need.

Personal Statement

Leadership/group contributions

 In high school, I was a member of the Associated Student Body (ASB) and my role was to provide engaging activities to the students, planning and participating in the activities.  In my leadership position, I organized events such as Spirit Week, community projects, cultural events, Homecoming and more. As a leader, I was interested in bringing students together to share ideas and concerns and more importantly I focused on creating a positive atmosphere to allow students feel connected through the organized activities. As a students' representative, my role had a positive influence on students in that by joining the extracurricular activities, they gained self-esteem, developed positive attitudes and learned more on critical issues such as drug abuse and hate.  My leadership role helped resolve disputes by encouraging students to accept diversity and recognize the individual differences.

 Knowledge in a field

 My special interest since childhood is studying anatomy. I have been showing a special interest in this field not only by being attentive in class when a teacher could introduce the topic but also by doing further investigation on the topic. I have a passion for anatomy and my interest has been in understanding the structure of the human body, health, and medicine.  I learned more during dissection of animals and after the practical session, I was interested in developing this knowledge by trying new things such as studying the structure of the body under the microscope. In this anatomy department, I have the willingness to try new things through research work, diagnostic and more.  I have experienced the joy of studying anatomy and becoming a surgeon. 

Dealing with adversity

 In high school, I once encountered an unpleasant situation after learning that my best friend has suicidal thoughts. I was lucky I had this confidant friend whom we could spend time and interact. However, when my friend disclosed to me that she wanted to commit suicide, it was the worst painful experience since I could not imagine losing such a friend. To solve this traumatizing experience, I approached my parents and informed them about my friend's crisis. They were so concerned and being close friends to my friend's parents, they disclosed the matter and there was a positive effect on the final outcome.  The unpleasant situation helped me learn that I am a caring person since I could stay close to my friend during the time of troubles, I could always communicate to her, encouraged her, understood her situation, showed love and more importantly approached people who handled her situation.

Community services

 Since I was young, I have been yearning to make my community a better place by volunteering in activities that can bring positive impacts on other's lives. I volunteered to work at a Legacy Hospital for two years as a gift shop clerk and front desk volunteer. In these two positions, I offered quality customer services such as stocking merchandise, cleaning the work area, answering questions to patients, discharging patients and more. Being a volunteer in helping the patients and improving the community improved by mental and physical health, self-confidence, I developed a sense of pride, increased socializing and improved the well-being of the patients.

Handling systematic challenges

 I personally have never experienced racism or discrimination but through the systematic challenges that my mother experienced, I have learned something about racism and the lesson has impacted my life in a positive way. When my mother was 13, she relocated to Vietnam where she could not speak English.  Due to the language difference, race, religion and another social status, she faced all kind of discrimination and racism.  My parent's experiences have taught me that it is important to accept and respect the diverse cultures especially in educational institutions where students are from different backgrounds. Having understood the effects of racism, I will be dedicated to supporting cultural diversity amongst students for them to increase creativity and improve performance.

Goals commitment

 Following my special interest in studying human anatomy, my goal is to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. I understand that to achieve this goal, I must possess the necessary attributes and collective responsibilities.  After setting this academic goal, I have established accomplishment goals that will assist in becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. In other words, I have established efforts to achieve my goals such as finding a mentorship, skills acquisition like attending group dynamics, I am also involved in national organizations for social networking.  One thing that is showing my effort in achieving the goal is finding a mentor. I have created a soil network with a senior surgeon who will provide me with advice and assistance needed in achieving my academic goals as well as becoming successful in the clinical practice.

Career interests and aspirations

 Though many students have a variety of career ideas, I personally have a clear idea of the path I want to take. My career interest is becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon not to gain a ‘prestigious' reputation but to change people's lives and improve their wellbeing.  Since childhood, I have been interested in working in the medical field and I look forward to achieving my goals and make my dream come true as I join the WSU. I am aiming high and with resources and opportunities, I will become a surgeon. Medicine is my career choice and I would like to gain the required professional skills and knowledge in medicine at WSU.

 Activities

 I have been involved in various activities such as co-curricular activities, leadership and community involvement.  My last four experiences over the last three years include;

Introduction

Learning process takes place within a designated institution and it is up to the learner to realize the task ahead of them and settle on an institute suited for their academic journey. Students give varying factors for transferring but regardless of the underlying reasons, which forces one to move, it may be for the better. In my personal case, an objective without a strategy is synonymous to wishful thinking and I like putting my words into action rather than delay and regret later in life. In this particular admission essay, I elaborately explain the reasons behind my preference for University of Pennsylvania.

 Reasons

My purposes for moving are purely academic. From an early age, I was a late bloomer but this did not deter me from pursuing my dreams and scoring grade A in chemistry and biology. On a person level, I am a down to earth personality, modern and active, just like any other youth living in the 21^st century. I take my academic studies seriously, and work well with other people. More so, one of my dreams as a child was studying at University of Pennsylvania. Thus, to achieve my personal objectives and hopes for the future, I need a solid community, which will guide me through my future dreams as it shapes my character into a wholesome woman.

 I come from an intriguing background with supportive family members by my side. I am willing and determined to work hard for a better future with the assistance of a well-equipped institution such as Pennsylvania. The only thing that makes me stands above other students is the manner in which I spend my extra time or leisure from school. As stated earlier, I come from a uncharacteristic background, the discipline and sheer dedication of sustaining academic life requires finances and careful spending. Therefore, getting a job is one of the things that the university will help facilitate. Job during summer or after the school sessions will assist me cater for my personal needs, which in turn take part in accomplishing other essential tasks. I deliberately choose working after school to gain social skills, fulfillment, and responsibility. I am aware of the fact that each semester comes with its own challenges but life outside the actual study surrounding has the ability to shape the general outlook of life and give academic studies deeper meaning and purpose. Simply put, surrounding University of Pennsylvania community will help me develop a holistic approach to life and my studies.

Academics

 After critical analysis of the other colleges, I realized that other academic institutions fail to present a holistic perspective on matters pertaining education and do not have the required course I intend pursuing. More and more my focus seems to lean on having college education with multi-faceted perspectives in order to influence on my personal and future medical career. When I visited University of Pennsylvania this fall, the institution captivated me and exceeded my expectations and the variety of course programs offered at the well known institution would help in my medical career. I absolutely loved the serene environment and neighborhood. More so, the broad approach to other all fields studied within the institution center on imparting insight to the students, which is a great deal to me and my personal values and beliefs. Therefore, by attending University of Pennsylvania, I expect to widen my knowledge in the medical field and volunteer in community work.

 After years of extensive research, acquisition of information brought me to University of Pennsylvania. Past academic life opened my mind, giving me the capacity to sift through unnecessary material and remain with what only relevant and worked in my favor. Most of the institutions only give specialized intellectual content. However, gaining intellectual power and preparation for medical school requires more than a classroom knowledge and goes beyond the walls of the teaching space into community and extra-curricular activities incorporated in the classes.

According to past scholars, education is a way of fully expressing one’s desires and wishes, which continue existing throughout the generations. This statement mirrors my reason for transferring into University of Pennsylvania. I am of the opinion that a top institution such as Pennsylvania encompasses my appreciation of the vital role education plays in the life of any individual. Majorly, the manner in which an institution handles its programs has long lasting influences on the life of people.

My early encounter with medicine inspired my interests and led me into engaging in hobbies related to the medical fields such as nursing and first aid activities. Even as I discovered general rules pertaining medicine, I acquired a newfound gratitude and respect for the field and for a better future, I had to entrust an excellent institution with my career hopes for a better tomorrow.

Families’ values or principles shape dreams and career choices. I want to transform other people’s lives through my medical expertise acquired over time through Pennsylvania institution. My family made me realize that touching other people’s lives in a positive way creates peace in the world. Attending University of Pennsylvania brings me a little bit closer to my dreams. I hope to possess the skills, wisdom, and qualities that would later turn me into a medical expert with the ability of changing lives of other people around me for the betterment of the entire community. On the other hand, I seek to construct and secure a better future for both my family members and myself. The role my family played in shaping me cannot go unappreciated or unrewarded. Therefore, I decided to make the transfer for their sake.

I agree that the responsibility of building a career does not squarely fall on the shoulders of the institution. I have a role to play in ensuring a better future. The hope to become better in each and every way so that success can later materialize needs sheer hard work,  self-discipline, a great deal of patience and persistence. In essence, the institution facilitates and guides my path to greatness and success.

 My struggle with Depression

From my high school days, I struggled with depression. The mental illness had a negative effect on my education. It is difficult attaining good grades while struggling with depression at the same time. In fact, depression affects understanding and memory retention due to the mood fluctuations resulting from the mental disorder. Despite of the myriad of challenges faced, in my senior year, I received expert assistance and presently, I can effectively handle my depression bouts every time they arise without interfering with my daily routines. Right now, I am at the top of my classes at my current academic institution. Given an opportunity, joining University of Pennsylvania will bring me closer to my dreams hence changing my life completely. I always wanted to study medicine and impact the lives of other people. My father played a crucial role in directing my interests in medicine. He is a doctor.

Against the backdrop of depression and mental health, I am still a grade A student with the capability of breaking down my objectives into small attainable goals hence I am not just a book warm but an all-round personality, able to achieve beyond my set objectives. The first time I contemplated going to college, I thought it was a difficult task. However, today, the situation is different due to diligence and prior preparations. In summary, I am eager to take a bold step into the future by attending Pennsylvania University. It is my wish to graduate and go on to help the community. I am a compassionate person, able to adopt and work toward my goals with the community around me. My long battle with depression imparted the art of adapting to new environments and setting high standards for myself every time I failed or meet an obstacle. Therefore, my depression was a blessing in disguise due to the new acquired strength, giving me power to fight and win while hoping for a bright future. In addition, transferring gives me a unique chance to participate and contribute to the community. As a woman, I am an athlete, an intellectual and assist in giving sound advice to other students suffering from depression and the stressful college life. Simply put, it is not just about attaining my dreams but building up and participating or even forming coalitions within the campus that would later assist other students as well.

     My desire to become a Speech Language Pathologist

I remember the first time that I heard about speech language pathology was when I was twelve years old. I met a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) while on a plane, where I was lucky enough to sit beside her. During the flight, we engaged in a short conversation about her profession and she explained to me what speech pathologists role entail which really inspired my desire to become one. I was particularly fascinated by the role that she played as a speech pathologist to change people’s lives for good with regained ability to speak. That encounter made me realize what I wanted to do in my life and that is helping people regain their ability to speak.

Over the years, I have come across people with speech problems that hinder them from communicating effectively. Speech is everything in human beings and it can be very devastating and stigmatizing when one is not able to communicate effectively. I have developed an attachment to helping these people with speech problems and I always feel very concerned when I meet someone that cannot express themselves clearly. This has increased my desire to understand the problem of speech therapy better so that I can gain more knowledge through watching educational videos and also doing extensive reading of informative articles just so that I can help improve the lives of these people for the better.

Just recently, my uncle suffered a stroke and this caused some brain damage that massively affected his ability to speak. There was no thorough diagnosis that was made in regard to his speech problem because of lack of resources and equipment which was very heart-breaking. My uncle was hence not properly treated during the time that extensive therapy would have greatly helped improve his speech. This experience with speech problem on a personal level has made me feel that it is my social obligation to do all that I can to help individuals who ensure situations like that of my uncle.

I now realize how extensive the problem of speech therapy treatment is in the society and the need to raise awareness on language disorders within the society. Back here in my home country, South Arabia, the expertise and knowledge in matters of speech and language disorders is still at an early stage. More young therapists myself included are required to help bring on more fulfilling healthcare in matters of speech therapy to the local communities which will greatly help individuals that are suffering from issues of speech therapy.

The experience and the knowledge that I have so far gained as an undergraduate student at the University of Akron has made me understand, that patience and empathy are vital traits when working with speech disorder patients. During my undergraduate, I got the chance to shadow an SLP at Summa Rehab Hospital which greatly helped me to experience the sense of the speech therapy problems at a close range and from here I got to understand the influence that empathy and patience traits have on patience speech development.

My desire in pursuing a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology goes beyond my will to learn more. Becoming a speech language pathologist will give me the chance to extend my involvement in helping individuals just like my uncle that lack the proper care to help them regain their speech abilities. I am eager to further extend my knowledge on speech and language disorders, learn more about counselling the patients and their families and acquire more experimental experience in this field. My time learning communication disorders at the University of Akron was enriching and I believe that is the best facility for me to acquire more knowledge on speech language pathology.

Personal Statement

1. Please describe how you have prepared for your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your upper-division courses once you enroll at the university.

Economics is one of the majors which the society requires in order to apply the best level of skills with a combination of market trends to create the best for the success of the business. It is a study that involves understanding how production and the distribution of services and goods affect consumer behavior. In the midst of the job market which is unfavorable and overcrowded, economics still takes on the world as the best kind of degree that each person should consider studying. Economics basically influences and affects the daily happenings including the type of food and clothes we use. Getting to understand the price, demand, and supply of the commodities in the market is beneficial to the society and to the person pursuing further studies in economics. A combination of both law and economics offers the best chances for success in the local and international market. Such a combination allows a person to be well equipped with the best strategies to deal with issues to do with the business in terms of legal actions to take once something unacceptable has happened. Economics also happens to offer a wide range of options for study ranging from environmental economics to public policy. With such enhanced skills the student is capable of making informed decisions once he or she leaves the institution to start a business. Having completed a major in English, mathematics, micro and macroeconomics and business law, economics will offer the best skills combining with the other majors. Combing related courses is a perfect strategy since it allows for the creation of many job opportunities or even starts a personal business which will offer employment opportunities. Most of the people who have studied economics do not move around looking for employment but rather use the gained skills and knowledge to create a job opportunity for others to join. Finance is also a field of study where it involves a lot of economics and having particular knowledge in finance is also advantageous. Being enrolled to study economics in the university is the ultimate goal of prepared.

2. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

Leadership is also a very important skill that a person should be in possession of to help a society or a group of people move on to achieve various goals in life. During my primary school, I engaged in many activities where one of them was being able to lead a team of my friends while playing ping-pong. Being a team leader is an important stage since this is a position which many consider being held by people of integrity and self-will and self-control. The team was always the first during any competition be it internal or external. This was highly appreciated by the teachers and the parents since it indicates the possibility of success when working as a team even in the classrooms. At such a tender age, the team was supported and recognized as the best in the whole city and this could never have happened if we lacked the necessary integrity and self-control. Being a team leader indicates responsibility which needs to be positive to lead the team members in the right direction. At the high school position, I was the monitor of my class and also a team leader to a small group of students. Other students looked up to me for the sake of making informed decisions which would enhance teamwork. Teamwork is very necessary since it makes the mind to grow to greater levels while still gaining control over crucial details in school life. In many cases, the students would be faced by the issue of lack of a mentor but due to the idea of sharing experiences and holding minor meetings with the students, many were able to overcome their challenges. Through the group's exchange of ideas prevailed and this allowed an increased level of understanding and capturing of what is taught in class. Being a leader from a tender age allowed me to be able to manage even my after-school life. Currently, a manager of a business, the skills learned over the years are helpful in making sure that each decision made is thoughtful.

3. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

In the life of a person, there are many challenges which affect the activities and the normal running of things and which ultimately affect the achievements desired in life. In many cases, challenges are meant to make a person change the behaviors or the tactics used for the occurrence of the challenge. One of my major challenges included living in a foreign country. While in a foreign country, a person has limitations such as language barrier, communication breakage, different rules and regulations set by the government and many other challenges. Understanding or even talking in the English language was the biggest nightmare experienced while living in the United States. This was back when I was only 16 years old. Considering the age and the amount of time used or wasted, it was practical and a fact that I was going to learn and speak English. This is a big challenge since changing from the known to the unknown is always a challenging task. The process of learning has also reduced the level of understanding is also very low. This simultaneously affects the academic level of achievement since it delays in progressing to the next levels. Changing from one language to another is very hard for a person above the age of 9 years since they have already mastered the initial language taught during childhood. Pronouncing and making complete sentences was a problem that affected even the grades in school. At that age, I was forced to read and understand a child’s group as a way of starting from the lowest level in learning English. It was very challenging but due to the seriousness and the need to achieve a better life, I had to train. This eventually paid off very well as of today I can make sentences and even understand English clearly. Speaking in English has also been developed over the time by the use of the books and associating with other people.

4. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?

One of my greatest skills is being able to read and understand which is being a fast learner. Comparing the time spent in my home country and the time spent in the United States, it is very practical that being a fast learner is an important skill. Through learning, I was able to discover various abilities such as the ability to not make any mistake mostly or to fix the mistake very fast before the problem escalates. Writing is also a field of study that I have engaged with and which has been my hobby. Currently, I have very many notebooks which are well written and posses the capacity of being understandable. I also love being able to conduct business and this is the reason as to why today am in business and a manager. When I was young, my father used to take me to work with him and from that age, I am now able to understand how to manage a business very effectively. I have been able to develop my fast learning capability through engaging with various people especially my father. The skills learned at his job place offer the best opportunity for the success of the business. Being able to read and understand as fast as I can have been the key to being successful in my skills. Every skilled personnel use the best available means to ensure that they get the best from every activity. After completing school, working in the United States has helped sharpen my skills even more. Through working and being in a group of people who have a similar objective which is a success has allowed me to understand English to the best level and still growing with time. It is through knowledge and skills that a person can be able to grow and develop quality standards. It is necessary to look forward and to the future of most businesses and the current society in order to make quality decisions.

Personal Statement to University of California

My intended major is economics specifically principles of macro and microeconomics, calculus with analytic geometry, financial accounting, and social sciences introduction to statistics. The classroom has increased the desire to study economics at a higher level since the topics of study really influence what makes things happen the way they do with regards to the social and business factors. The outside society is highly in need of the economics skills in order to be able to manage the simple steps for success in the business. The outside experience calls for an improvement in the social setting and this can only be done through the acquisition of vital skills of economics. As a matter of fact, economics is not in any way a study of how money is made but a social science of the factors that determine the distribution and production of services and goods in a consumer capitalist setting. Economics is a study that is driving the world market with the production and delivery of quality services and which influences the economy of a country. Studying a degree in economics is a benefit to the society and also personal benefit since it opens the chances for one to understand the list of things that happen in our lives such as what is learned, how to learn, how to work, what to eat and many other fields. Getting to understand the supply and the demand including the prices benefit the life of the student in a huge way. Economics has a valuable impact on every walk of life and the chance to get into a university for further studies increases the chances for each person to get involved in what influenced the current market. Majoring in economics will allow the growth and diversification of the related field which will similarly influence more productivity to shape the society in the right direction.

My greatest talent includes being very good in sports, a fast learner and a person who is highly involved in teamwork. The talents have allowed the development and the increase in knowledge and capacity to understand the environment. The talents and skills have grown over the years since in every field, one experiences different engagements which influence the things that affect our daily lives and form the basis on the best ways possible to overcome the issues. While using the talents, certain skills are acquired which also affect the level of the talent making it even better for the benefit of the society. The change in the talent has been influenced by the activities and the kind of environment involved which has created the chances for success. At a tender age, the talent was still underdeveloped due to the low exposure experienced but as time passes and the level of knowledge and understanding improves, the talent grows significantly. More exposure means more experience and this improves the know-how of a person and the capability of the person largely influences the talent. Teamwork is one of the skills that have helped and the most meaningful in terms of development. Being able to embrace other people and understand the diversification and be able to work together as a team influences success. Through the teamwork, one is able to socialize and get to know new things which allow for the acquisition of knowledge which eventually influences the success of a person. Talent comes naturally but one has to nature and work on developing it. For some time, I have worked to develop the talent which has not been easy or hard since it has created opportunities for every situation ventured in life. Developing the skills requires knowledge and some level of understanding of the involved field.

Being the second time to trying to graduate from college, it has been a hard experience especially due to the influence of playing a lot of sport, the grades went down making it hard to concentrate with the studies and even do the simple homework. Playing affected the performance as there was no single time I attended classes which eventually resulted in lack of graduating. After this challenge, I went back to China for a period of two years and came back focused and ready to proceed with the studies. Eventually, I graduated and the GPA improved to 3.6. This is one of the most difficult challenges ever experienced in life. To get over the experience, it required the changing of tactics and the view of life to eliminate the challenges. While in China, there were a lot of challenging situation which influenced the change in thinking and the chances of life. Knowing that life is not all about playing and having fun has influenced the change in perception and which has influenced my improvement in the grades. The most arguably way of dealing with the challenge is concentrating on the most vital parts of life which will affect the future. Such things include enrolling for more study and dedicating more time to learn and influence studying. This has allowed me to be able to change the course of my life and also improve the grades while in school. Being able to attain some education is one of the most important factors in life and this can only be done through dedication and willingness for success.  The bad company that influenced me to play more and forgets about studying is a thing of the past since the decisions made about life are highly regarded to reduce the chances for a replica. The relationship with the family has improved due to the interest in making a move towards taking control of my life in a positive direction which will result in success. Family always appreciates when one of their own shows some level of maturity and being able to hold up to integrity.  

One of the standing points that make me a qualified student for University of California is the ability to uphold integrity. Integrity is one of the things that make people different from another which is something of value. Being able to distinguish between what is right and wrong is very good since it reduces the chances of failure which is a negative result to both the society and to oneself.  Caring for the other person is also something that is precious since it shows how special a person is to the society. Caring for one another is vital especially since in school there are many people from different background and who all converge for the same thing which is to succeed in school and eventually in life. Everybody needs the other person to perform in group works and work as a team. Many people who have been successful in life share the same idea of being caring to one another. Family always comes first and being able to have and embrace the family indicates that there is harmony and where there is harmony there is the act of being a success through support. Having a family is a precious gift since at all times they can be the last people to assist a person in life. Success does not come from being alone and dedicating no time for family since the family is a high contributor to being successful and happy. Being passionate about the ability to help others in every way possible is good especially in a university since it shows how concerned one is to the other person. Perfectionist is also a field that is excellent when it comes to associating and learning since it eliminates the chances of error. A person who is almost perfect in their own activities always influences success towards his life and this is a positive motive in the university. Animals also require be loving and showing concern. One might think that an animal has no meaning but the animals do listen and can feel the pain when they are neglected and therefore being passionate about them ensures that they are comfortable through associations. After being admitted to the university, learning, experiencing the prestige and the education system are the three goals of being in the university. There is no better place I would rather be than being at the university studying and making new friends from the same institution for diversity. Feeling happy and concerned about the future always comes from being in the best environment which is being in the university.                               

College Enrollment

The choice for an Executive LLM was informed by the desired to continue working and studying at the same time. As I undertake this course, I will be able to apply the wide range of analytical and legal skills that I have mastered at work. Undertaking this course will is also important in the expansion of my network since it provides an opportunity to meet new professionals in a different university which can provide a fallback plan. The course also allows for an active research which means that I can explore other fields and even an opportunity to contribute to research that is publishable.  The fact that the course can allow me to work while carrying on with my studies has really interested me since this makes it possible for my career path not to suffer like it would happen in case studying and working simultaneously was not possible.

My education strength and background involve a variety of legal systems obtained during my undergraduate studies and other upgrading courses. These studies instilled a deep knowledge of international law principles while the upgrading courses enabled me to gain an understanding of Spanish and English languages which have been quite important in my working environments.  The international law knowledge has provided a good foundation for a course in LLM and this has been a source of academic strength necessary in undertaking this course. In addition, my working experience in various legal capacities at International Investment Bank, Legal Department at MFA Russia and my internship background has helped me see the need for more studies to widen the scope of knowledge on legal matters.  The working environment has imparted various skills including negotiation and organizational skills, legal drafting knowledge and skills and ability to work independently has informed my decision to pursue higher qualification through LLM.

 The enrolment into this program aligns with my desire to have an accomplished career in law especially in relation to international business law and other organizations that have their presence globally. My goal is to attain consultancy and management roles in business organizations, government organizations, and non-governmental organizations in the future after having mastered the relevant principles of International Law.  The enrolment into this course will help me to pursue my career path and at the same time undergo personal growth and development for a better future. The reputation of this Institution is positive since it has given opportunities it has provided to previous learners in pursuing their career goals and objectives. Hence, I believe that the program will provide an opportunity for me to have a positive future in terms of career and personal growth and development.

 My research interest involves the intersection of legal theory, organizational and political theory in the international environment including the application of international laws in an organizational setting. Hence, I intended to be involved in carrying out more research on the development, implementation, and implication of international law principles in the organizational and business settings. An exploration of the legal theory and how it relates to other aspects of the society or business field will be important in advancing my knowledge on legal matters. Working on related research projects will contribute to the current and future legal principles and knowledge and how such can be used in influencing the happenings in the world at large.

Econ Statement of the Purpose

A Masters in Economics forms part of my career investment that aims at achieving career growth and development. My social and education background has instilled a business economics mindset in me and has formed my passion in this field. My passion is driven by the following factors

• A desire to understand Economics as a whole
• Upon finishing my undergraduate degree, I still felt the need to improve on my skills so as to fill complete
• To understand about I am planning to apply for this Masters degree
• To have some time for independent study on economics

As a Business Economic graduate, the Economic Masters degree will play an important role in polishing my career and increasing my competencies. A major reason for pursuing Masters of Arts in Economics is to become equipped with best skills and knowledge that will improve my ability to serve the need for a terminal graduate degree for a professional economist.
