I earned a Labor Economics and Industrial Relations Certificate at Ankara University in Turkey in 2013. I then earned an MBA at the California University of Management in Washington, DC. I hope to be accepted to the master's degree in real estate Program at XXXX. to prepare for my future in real estate development. I hope to contribute to the diversity of your program in Real Estate at XXXX University as an applicant who was born and raised in Mongolia until the age of sixteen, completing high school and my undergraduate university studies in Turkey. I have dedicated myself to studying this vast region of the world my entire life, spending three months in Russia and another three months living and learning in Kazakhstan. I have achieved fluency in Mongolian, Kazakh, Turkish, English, and to a lesser extent, Russian. Now living in Washington DC, my MBA complete, I am pursuing my central professional passion: global real estate. It would be a privilege and profound opportunity for me to study at XXXX under such distinguished professors as XXXX and XXXX. My father was a builder with his own construction company , and I began working with him incredibly young, building houses: he taught me the art of construction and project management. I have always been inspired by his hard work and vast knowledge based on experience. He is a significant source of inspiration for my career choice. I am also most grateful for the opportunity to have completed two different internships with different companies in Turkey; these positions helped me acquire a great deal of insight into the investment side of property development. In 2011 working for an investment fund as part of a team doing market research and analysis of property development helped set me on the course for making Real Estate the center of my professional world. The more I learned about the complexities involved in property investment decisions, the more I became devoted to this area of inquiry. Nothing excites me as much as increasing my awareness of the financial risk factors associated with property development. My work with the investment fund also helped me better understand the big picture, the larger environment in which property companies operate, and the international marketplace, especially concerning real estate. I valued the opportunity that these degrees gave me to delve deeply into the fields of management, finance, marketing, and corporate strategy and give me rigorous training in vital numerical skills such as financial mathematics and the application of game theory. I particularly enjoyed the international aspects of the course, which allowed me to understand business from a comparative and global perspective, which I regard as vital, especially given my interest in real estate. Everything I have done as an undergraduate and graduate student so far, and in my professional endeavors, has been relevant to and supports my intense motivation to build a successful career in Real Estate. My current position is Sales Manager of a successful property company in Washington DC, serving some of the most exclusive residential areas of the nation’s capital. I see my responsibility for maintaining the firm’s property database as a unique experience that will help me hit the ground running and excel in your program at XXXX. I am also most grateful that I have been developing an increasingly advanced understanding of the Washington DC property market, particularly risks, and opportunities that are unique to the area. I have also had the chance to be involved with business analysis and learn the ropes of property management. I could not be more focused on my pursuit of a career in international property investment, beginning with the entire immersion experience possible in the theoretical and practical aspects of financial, economic, legal, and management issues associated with real estate development, ranging from portfolio risk management and valuation techniques through debt finance and international property law. I see successful investment in property as grounded in a unique set of factors, all of which must be understood by the investor to succeed in achieving the returns they seek. Therefore, successfully investing in property requires a unique skill set explicitly tailored to ‘real estate investment.' I look forward to a complete immersion in real estate investment, how it has developed compared to other forms of investment, h to economic crises and recovery, and how global investment patterns have evolved. I have always applied the best of my talents to my school and university studies and have enjoyed the rewards of doing so. As a graduate student, I have increasingly gravitated towards Real Estate, beginning with my graduate studies in Economics, where I completed an extensive case-study project examining residential development as an investment opportunity. I was fascinated by the factors that needed to be considered when making a real estate investment decision. I thoroughly enjoyed the research, forecasting, and analysis that went into the project. Other work placements have given me broad exposure to the business and financial sectors, equipping me with management and analytical skills that I believe will be essential for a career in real estate. In 2014, I worked for a large business services company in Fairfax, Virginia, responsible for managing client relationships and projects. This post gave me experience managing the conflicting demands of different clients and required me to develop excellent communication skills to help facilitate productive business relationships. In 2016, I completed an internship at a distribution company for kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities based in Fairfax, Virginia, in the marketing side of the business, where my negotiation skills were honed through working with potential promotional partners. I have built a strong work ethic and take pride in my analytical skills and ability to work under pressure, based on my desire to succeed in an international business environment. Over time, I look forward to continuing to develop expertise in property valuation, serving as a global property consultant or self-employed property investor.

I want to study in the USA because I see America as the world’s foremost source of emerging technology. I hope to be selected for a Fulbright Scholarship based on my intense passion for making the world safer and more secure through emergent technology in information security. A young Polish man who could not be more devoted to computer science and information technology, I am most excited about the prospect of giving my professional life to the cause of keeping personal data private, potentially helping safeguard the integrity and security of all who live on our interconnected planet. I see promise in Blockchain technology and hope to be honored to devote myself to complete immersion in research in this area. Now referred to as “Blockchain,” this novel technology represents an emerging innovation with great promise. This is why giants like Microsoft, IBM, and Walmart are backing research into applications for Blockchain . I hope to contribute to unlocking what I see as the enormous potential of Blockchain by completing a master's degree in computer science in the USA. I see this as the best way to fully prepare myself for a career dedicated to protecting the personal data of Internet users. Blockchain is integral to some of the world's most advanced communication and data systems. However, its rapid growth and acceptance have presented challenges concerning the details of its adoption in many parts of the world. In Poland, for example, the adoption of this innovation is hampered by a lack of understanding of the technical issues involved, particularly on the part of legislators. Some of these issues involve absurdly high taxes on crypto-currency trading (1% per transaction), coupled with a lack of legal definition and restrictions on exchanges, which often result in companies' emigration rather than resolving their issues in Poland. I hope that my application will be looked on with favor because of my quest to help not only my native Poland to take full advantage of Blockchain but the rest of the world as well; all of us who are lagging behind the Silicon Valley in our ability to adapt to and take advantage of technological advancement in data and communication. As I see it, it is essential for Poland, like other Eastern European countries, to catch up to Western Europe and the United States in technological development. My long-term goals are in this area, stimulating investment that will fuel IT advancement in my part of the world, which has fallen behind the rest of the Developed World. I could not be happier to give my professional life to helping people exercise and maintain more significant control over their data and how it is used. I find myself extremely excited about the prospect of helping people to recover and safeguard their privacy through the implementation of a public, distributed ledger that serves to define a protocol, enabling Blockchain to function as a privacy control verification system so that people can rest assured that their data is only being shared by their wishes. Blockchain is a true godsend for cyber security because, for the first time, we have a way to control the processing of personal data and the revocation of access without having to depend upon a third party. The use of smart contracts will also make it possible to grant and revoke approvals to process users’ data. I hope to write a master's thesis on Blockchain and publish it open-source - available to everyone, increasing invaluable information that will stimulate economic development and the free flow of information worldwide. This emerging technological revolution needs leaders with solid theoretical backgrounds who can combine an academic approach with the spirit of entrepreneurship. I intend to be one of these leaders, and earning my Master's Degree in Computer Science is vital to realizing my long-term goals. Abandoned by my father at the age of eight, growing up struggling to help my mother care for my little brother and sister instilled a great determination to succeed and have a dignified life. I pursue my goals tirelessly and with great discipline and focus. This is especially true concerning attracting investors to my startup, as I did in San Francisco a few months ago, rubbing elbows with executives representing Y Combinator, one of Silicon Valley’s foremost investment funds. Thank you for considering my application for a Fulbright Scholarship. Fulbright Scholarship Personal Purpose Statement

Like most young people, I always hoped to make a difference rather than make a living. I sought to turn my hope into reality in the world of policy, to have a share in improving the world around me. I am from an immigrant family of limited financial means from El Salvador. My journey to the point of this application has involved some sacrifices and challenges for my family and myself. Still, I have reached this point and am immensely proud. I am a friendly, outgoing, and confident person and have happily studied, worked, and socialized with people of many social and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy learning about other cultures and sharing aspects of my rich heritage. I am bilingual in Spanish/English, which is central to my career plans. I hold a bachelor's degree in Global Affairs from XXU, awarded in 2017. My goal is to acquire high-level skills and knowledge in Public Administration by earning the MPA Degree. My interests lie in the areas of Immigration and budgeting. I hope to pursue one of these specialties in my future career, in Homeland Security or an NGO, and, ideally, find a role requiring expertise in both. I migrated to the US with my family at the age of fifteen. My parents were hard workers who valued education highly because they lacked educational opportunities. I was encouraged to take full advantage of those opportunities and taught that diligence combined with determination was a reliable route to success in any sphere. My enthusiasm and hard work bore fruit when I was awarded a full-year scholarship for my first year in college by a program focused on students demonstrating leadership qualities, especially those striving for success in challenging financial circumstances. The scholarship award has also recognized my hard work in traveling to Italy for a winter study program in 2016 and being included on the Dean’s list in the last semester of my bachelor's degree studies. I have always sought to acquire leadership experience and enjoy roles that call for organizing and coordinating team activities and efforts. During my undergraduate program, I was appointed as a special-events coordinator at the XXXX XXU Science and Technology campus. I thoroughly enjoyed my role and organized several successful events. I was honored to have been allowed to intern at the US House of Representatives as a Legislative Assistant. I was determined to be helpful and acquire as much experience as possible. I was involved in public affairs and budgeting projects and found the whole experience rewarding and fascinating. It indeed fully confirmed my academic and career choices. I value the award of the internship and the scholarships and awards as recognition of my enthusiasm, hard work, and intellectual potential, which will be fully applied in my future studies and career. I am applying to the XXU master's program because of the highly positive experience of my undergraduate program. I found the academic environment to be highly challenging but supportive. I am aware of the department’s international reputation for innovative research and the high value placed on alumni by potential employers. I realize that creativity, an analytical mind, determination, and the ability to engage exceptionally well with others are essential to becoming an influential researcher who makes significant contributions to his field. I look forward to assisting in research and developing those characteristics while laboring to advance our frontiers of knowledge in Public Administration. I hold a bachelor's degree in a directly relevant area of study to that of the program and have excelled within it. I have demonstrated leadership, enthusiasm, and diligence in my academic career and extra-curricular activities. However, my main recommendation is my passion for this area of study and my determination to apply all of myself fully to the program for my fulfillment, to add luster to the considerable reputation of the school, and to provide my future employer with a genuine asset in implementing policies to improve society. Thank you for considering my application to your distinguished MPA Program . MPA Personal Purpose Statement Example, Latina

XXXX’s MCIT Program is my first choice for further graduate study for several reasons, especially the accessible and tight-knit alumni network and stellar career services. If I am fortunate to get admitted, I plan to look for a summer internship between my first and second years of study and a unique full-time position with my interdisciplinary background after graduating from the MCIT program. I am encouraged by the achievements of the program alumni, most of whom have become software engineers or developers and made important contributions to the advance of information technology. Therefore, I seek the entire immersion experience possible in XXXX’s MCIT program since I feel that it will enable me to explore my interests in computer science and achieve my career objectives of becoming a software developer and data architect. When I interned as a summer analyst at CITIC Securities CO., Ltd, China’s largest full-service investment bank, I developed the GARCH model by MATLAB. I applied it to option pricing based on market data. This was the first time that I had the experience of using advanced techniques in computer science to solve real-world problems. This significantly increased my enthusiasm to enhance my programming skills and devote myself to computer science, especially concerning practical applications. My exploration of CS intensified as a master's student. While majoring in Physics at XXXX University (XXU). I obtained an A in Computational Physics and an A- in Biophysical Modeling. Moreover, I participated in several projects across diverse fields, further enhancing my programming abilities. In my first research project at NYU with Prof. XXXX, I applied image processing techniques to track emulsion droplets' three-dimensional (3D) trajectories. Soon, I began to appreciate the critical importance of programming by successfully operating a decades-old syringe pump with twenty lines of Python code. Then I developed my 3D particle tracking codes in MATLAB and CUDA to analyze the 120 GB of 3D video data. I next accelerated the analysis by executing the codes on a high-performance computing cluster (HPCC). Through this initial encounter with application programming interfaces, I promoted my programming skills in hardware and software and became most interested in computational efficiency and its enhancement. During my second research project at XXU, I further explored computational efficiency and polished my programming skills. Working with Prof. XXX, I studied the characteristics of asexual population evolution and independently built up the Wright-Fisher model using Python. To improve the execution efficiency of the program, I optimized the model by efficiently implementing different programming languages, such as Python and C++. Finally, I successfully achieved an execution speed of twenty times faster than the original one to run multiple evolution simulations of an asexual population, each with more generations. The increased sample size allowed me to observe many novel characteristics of the beneficial-mutation selection balance. However, I soon realized this was only the surface of how applications of different programming languages might serve to enhance computational efficiency. In my final year at XXU, I worked on an astrophysics research project studying Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) for my master’s thesis. Under the direction of Prof. Glennys Farrar, I applied the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to determine if certain galaxies were the sources of UHECRs. To analyze the errors of the parameters obtained by MLE, I built a mock data set sampling from all the possible cosmic rays, which have more than one hundred million data points generated by cosmic ray tracking simulation. Then I implemented the distributed computation techniques on an HPCC and significantly increased the computational efficiency. Though my master’s thesis was completed, I continued to refine this project in my spare time after graduating from XXU. To solve the inconsistency between the input parameters and the mean values of the output histograms obtained by my MLE program, I worked independently to investigate the reasons for this anomaly. After carefully examining all the parameters and analyzing the results, I successfully solved the problem by normalizing the index of the likelihood function. Furthermore, I created a more sophisticated model on which I am currently writing a journal paper by considering the attenuation effect. The most valuable treasure from this project is that it set me on the course of mastering the ability to generate data and extract information from existing data sets via computational techniques. Upon graduating from XXU, I was admitted into the Ph.D. Program at the University of XXXX and began working on fascinating data analysis and theoretical research projects exploring the collective behavior of crowds and animals. In this project, I implemented a multi-agent simulation, conducted an experiment to observe Hex bugs moving in a limited area, and analyzed the data by video recognition. Unfortunately, this project was suspended in early 2017 due to a lack of funding. Then I became involved in the design of multifunctional polymeric rod-like nanocomposites. I applied the coarse-grain method to molecular dynamics simulation in C++ with graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration. I learned a lot by using HPCC, such as compiling all the packages from the source files rather than easily installing and creating convenient, customized modules of these packages by Lua. My career goal is to become a software developer/data architect in the technology industry, where I can utilize my background in academic research and implement my new skills in CS. I don’t have vast overall knowledge or systematic skills in CS, though my previous research experiences are related. Therefore, I see the Master of Computer and Information Technology (MCIT) program at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) as the perfect springboard upon which I can embark on a transition from my Physics background to a successful career in CS. A quick learner who is proud of being self-taught as a coder, I am confident that I will be able to excel in your program. I appreciate that the elite MCIT program offers entry-level courses for students with limited experience in CS. Within the curriculum, I am especially drawn to CIS 545, “Big Data Analysis,” because it provides practical scaling computation to handle data analytics tasks, which I see as an integral part of the work I hope to undertake in the future. CIS 520 “Machine Learning” is also extremely attractive to me because previously, I took a similar course on Coursera, but I have not had a chance to study it formally. I now look forward to doing so in a world-class institution like XXXX. I am also keenly looking forward to the in-depth research involved in writing a Capstone project addressed to solving a real-world problem. I thank you for considering my application to the MCIT Program at XXXX. MCIT Computer Information Technology Personal Statement

I am an experienced and well-qualified physician raised in India. I have worked both in India and in the US as a doctor and in America also as an Assistant Medical Director in healthcare administration . I know it is unusual for a practicing physician to apply for this program. Naturally, I am not abandoning a medical career without much thought. I am convinced that my professional experience here and in India provides an excellent basis for me to add considerable value to the specialty of Health Administration and will enable me to play a part in solving problems related to the provision of timely and effective healthcare on a universal basis. I am seeking to maximize my utility in the field of healthcare provision and am convinced that the program will equip me to do so. Thus, I hope to be accepted to the master's degree Program in Health Administration at XXXX University. I have raised the elder of two daughters in comfortable circumstances. Happily, and unusually, I was not subject, within my family, to the educational and professional limitations because of my gender that many of my friends experienced within theirs. Outside of my family environment, I suffered the severe impact of discrimination common in a strongly patriarchal society. It is a measure of my determination and hard work that I qualified, practiced, and gained professional respect within that society. I have also been left with an understandable sense of grievance and a determination to do all I can to improve this situation. I needed to work harder than my male peers to ‘prove myself,' This has had the fortunate side-effect of increasing my natural diligence and enthusiasm in undertaking my duties, whether studying, working, or in my private life. I always work to excel rather than merely succeed, and I intend to apply this to the program. I was raised to see my relative privilege as providing opportunities to help those less fortunate, and I have always sought to do so. It is an unavoidable part of life in India to be aware of deprivation, and this affected me, my career, and other choices. I chose to undertake voluntary work as a medical student in a Female Health and Family Planning Clinic. This, together with my experience as a physician in India and even here in the US, has made me sensitive to failures and problems in healthcare provision and a passionate desire to be part of the solution. I am regarded as reliable, hard-working, friendly, and outgoing. I collaborate readily with others to achieve common goals and enjoy being a team member who is also ready to exercise leadership when called upon. My background will assure readers that I am academically capable and equipped to excel in your highly challenging program. Thank you for considering my application to Health Administration at XXXX University. MS Health Administration Personal Purpose Statement

XXXX University’s LLM Program in International Law is my first choice for Law School for several reasons, most of all the sheer excellence of your program and my deep fascination with the UK, particularly Scotland. I see your program as the perfect place for me to acquire the academic preparation to make my maximum contribution to the global community. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I am very much engaged with relations and communications between China’s different political, linguistic, and religious groups across the globe. This has been especially true since I completed an internship with a PR firm in Beijing in 2013. In 2014, I spent half the school year studying in Shanghai, and in 2015 I returned to Beijing and completed another internship with China News Agency. I hope to be selected for your competitive LLM Program at XXXX based on my academic excellence, professional experience, and noble ideals, coupled with my advanced global perspectives and profound concern for the fate of the Global South. A few months ago, I spent over a month in Africa as part of a Christmas missionary service trip. We visited four rural villages, and I played, sang, and danced with hundreds of children in each place that we saw in Senegal. In the capital Dakar, I got to know people working with various humanitarian organizations and learned about the significant need for development aid and its implementation. Global development depends on the absence of war, and I want to become a professional peacemaker promoting economic globalization. I have chosen to pursue a career in Law because I see the legal field as existing on the frontier of politics and morality, where my passion lies. Greater China has become a giant with mammoth global implications, especially for Africa. I see both good and evil in this expansion of Chinese interests. As a legal professional, I hope to simultaneously promote the benefits and limit the evil, promoting human rights and cross-border investment. The research interest of several faculty members in the LLM Program closely aligns with my interests and aspirations. Dr. Stephen ____, for example, explores the relationship between developing countries and the IMF while being a recognized expert in human rights in Africa. One can learn from the stones in Edinburg. There, I will understand the big economic picture, the mechanisms of international law, and hopes and dreams for building a better world where economic development and respect for human rights can flourish side by side. I fell desperately in love with the idea of completing your LLM program in 2016 when I visited your lovely city and campus: history, architecture, art, cultural diversity, and global humanistic dialogue, all set amidst some of the most breathtaking natural scenery in the world. Thank you for considering my application. LLM International Law Personal Statement Example

I was a tiny, premature baby, and although my medical problems were not severe, they involved frequent hospital visits in my early childhood.  So, I became used to the hospital environment and observed the staff in a way that only a child can. I saw that some nurses and doctors did their job, and others did the same job but with a smile and a friendly manner, even occasionally taking the time to share a joke with a little girl. I decided early in my life that I would like to help people by working in a hospital and that I would be a smiling, friendly, caring staff person and not one of the others. I have never forgotten my childhood resolution in my career to date. My dream was to be a doctor, but I could not overcome the initial obstacles to my goal. My exam results were not good enough for medical school, which was devastating. Before I had finalized plans to retake exams and re-apply, my parents told me they could not support me through exam re-takes in medical school. They suggested that I apply for nursing school.  I did so but was unhappy, I felt crushed, and my initial results reflected my attitude. At a certain point, I realized I was staring another failure in the face and would let myself and my family down unless something changed. I adopted a new attitude; I studied hard and enthusiastically, improved my scores, and felt much happier. My unique perspective was rewarded by the award of an associate degree and an R.N. post at one of the most prestigious hospitals in South Korea. Life moved on; I married, moved to the US, had four children, worked as a nurse, and supported my husband through his Ph.D. studies. My life seemed pretty much ‘mapped out,’ but unexpectedly, my husband and I separated. I decided to take careful stock of my life; could I resurrect my dream of being a physician? There seemed no good reason not to pursue my dream, and the more I considered the possibility, the more enthusiastic I became about the idea. Although working full time, I studied for a B.S. degree in biology at XXXX University. My GPA score was admittedly not ‘stellar,’ but I graduated ‘Magna cum Laude.’  I felt enormously proud to have succeeded when, while studying, I worked full-time and cared for my children. I have two decades of ICU nursing experience and have been successful and, to a considerable extent, personally fulfilled in my career. I have worked with many doctors who have ranged from barely adequate to excellent. I know that the difference is often one of attitude rather than merely differences in knowledge and skill levels, just as I had observed as a young child. I have the necessary attitude, passion, and determination to acquire the knowledge and skills required to become an excellent physician. I have taken advice from several exceptional doctors who have encouraged me to take this step. I am keen to be involved in research, especially neurocritical medicine. I believe that my considerable experience will enable me to make a significant contribution. My goal is to resume work as a physician in my area of expertise, the ICU. I know that the transition from nurse to physician will require considerable adjustments, and I have carefully considered and discussed this matter with physician colleagues. I conclude that I can fully make those necessary adjustments and changes in professional emphasis. I am under no illusion about the amount of work and commitment required to complete the program successfully, and I undertake to apply myself fully. I am very aware of the need for cultural sensitivity in healthcare provision. I have personal experience living in two distinct cultures and adjusting to moving from one to another. I have also treated, studied with, and worked alongside people of many cultural and social backgrounds and enjoy doing so. I enjoy educating people about my own Korean culture and learning from others about their own.  I know that medical programs attract many very well-qualified applicants. However, I am academically able, as I have recently demonstrated in the face of extreme time constraints. I am a highly experienced health professional with proven skills and knowledge in the area where I wish to work. My most important recommendation is my love and passion for medicine and my determination to excel as part of the Medical School program. Thank you for considering my application.

Being accepted to medical school here in the USA will be beyond the wildest dreams of someone like me. As an African woman born and raised in Ghana, higher education was not a reasonable expectation in my country of origin, especially for girls who wanted to become doctors. Thus, my acceptance to medical school in the USA as an African woman raised in Ghana until the age of fifteen represents a triumph for women in Ghana and Black women. I look forward to contributing to the representation of black doctors in practice in America, especially those born in Africa. In addition to serving as a choir member, I also frequently lead religious services at my church, which has heightened my confidence and inspired me to think creatively about leadership roles in medicine. Now twenty-five, I have spent the last ten years in XXXX, Virginia, my new home in the USA. Despite having become African American in many ways, my soul will always be African, and this is especially true in terms of my profession, vocation, and calling in life: medicine. I have completed my undergraduate studies in Biology and distinguished myself through my volunteer work. I faced many challenges as an African girl seeking advanced education in the physical sciences – especially my father. He has never seen any value in the higher education of women and refused to spend anything on my education. I worked to support myself all through my undergraduate studies while I also participated in many medical-related activities as a student. I sustained my struggle to prepare for entrance to medical school for four years – despite inadequate sleep. My journey toward medicine began while I was still a child, when my aunt suffered a terrible accident that left her crippled, having fallen from a tall building and landed on her knees. After doctors told her she would never be able to use her lower body again, she had to relocate to our house to have access to the best doctors and proper care from our extended family. During this time, I lived with my aunt, my mother’s sister, and her family, and I thought of her much like my mother. I shared not only a room but also a bed with my aunty throughout this ordeal, hence its intensity for two years - while I was 10 to 12. My aunty died believing she had already survived her accident a long time because of my care. She would say I gave her hope each day to live. She taught me that strength comes from within, and that love and compassion can prolong life. Before she died coughing up blood, she had learned how to walk again and frequently went to the toilet independently. I helped her bathe, go to the bathroom, fed her, dressed her, checked her pulse, gave her medicine, etc. As my family would say, I loved caring for her and being her doctor. The greatest thing was that I became her friend; I showed her that she mattered and was loved. My aunt's experience taught me how to maintain a positive outlook on life in trying circumstances, and I have become a fervent believer in the power of hope. Shortly after being accepted to XXXX University, my boyfriend was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and brain damage due to fluid buildup; this experience also strengthened my belief that healing starts with the mind. I know how far a little compassion and warmth can go, and I want to live my life knowing that I am helping others to live each day. Becoming the best medical doctor requires knowledge of the body and proper care through compassion and kindness. I am convinced I will be a great physician based on my experiences thus far. Most precisely, I hope to become a world-class OBGYN because my greatest desire is to devote my life to the care of women and their babies at the most vulnerable moment in time for both, precisely the time that so many preventable deaths occur in Africa, for mother and child alike. I want to practice and struggle on two continents, helping reduce infant and mother mortality rates in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. I volunteered as a Nurse Assistant in a hospital for two months, caring for the elderly, and serving as a youth leader and mentor of children, helping them with their schoolwork. One professional highlight for me was my semester working on GIS technology at the XXXX Museum. With my sights set on Women’s Health and Reproduction, I intend to distinguish myself in your program as a student who becomes exceptionally knowledgeable about ovarian, cervical, and other cancers related explicitly to women and reproduction. My aunty believed that my sole purpose on earth was to take care of the sick, and that is true. I want to treasure life to its most total every day, bring new life into being, and save the lives of newborn babies that I hear crying in my hands. That is life.

My country, Afghanistan, has suffered from many decades of widespread political and civil strife, in large part, I believe, because we have not enjoyed adequate public administration of national resources. Thus, I hope to do what I can as an Afghan professional to rectify this problem and work to eventually provide as many Afghans as possible with the benefit of a government that well-trained administrators professionally administer. My concern is primarily the Afghan Diaspora, those who have found a second home somewhere else, especially in the USA, and particularly California. Since I have not taken the GRE, I ask for a waiver of this examination - given that I have extensive qualifications and work experience to complement my education, including at the graduate level. Thus, I am asking for admission to study for the master's degree in public administration at my first choice for graduate school, the flagship program in California in Public Administration, the University of XXXX. Doing most of my academic work online is imperative at this stage of my career and with its professional responsibilities. Earning my master's degree at UXX will enable me to make my maximum contribution to Afghanistan and its people, a country with a long, troubled history, most recently hosting the longest-running war in US history. I hope to contribute to creating conditions on the ground that would enable the 15,000 US soldiers still in Afghanistan to come home, which is what all Americans want. I served as a Deputy Minister in our Ministry of Administration and Finance for five years. As a result, I have developed an excellent grasp of the grave challenges facing us in Afghanistan in Public Administration. Raised in Kandahar, the home province of the Taliban, violence, and terror is routine in my community of origin. This was a prominent factor in why I decided that it would be a promising idea for me to attend college in neighboring India, where I earned my MBA to complement my undergraduate studies, also in Business. As part of my professional responsibility, I organize trips every three months to California, where I spend extended periods working with my colleagues to resolve the issues of those Afghan residents of the USA that have consular needs to attend to. As a professional administrator, I take pride in my dedication to lifelong learning. I feel a great deal of gratitude to the USA for the help they continue to provide to Afghans. I shudder to think where we would be if that friendship and assistance had not occurred. I want to follow the lead of the USA and promote professionalism in every environment where I work and contribute to the implementation of organizational strategies. I have now spent six years working for the Afghan government, and it is a joy to continue to learn to improve my capacity to serve my people as an administrator. I thank you for considering my application to the MPA Program at UX. MPA Personal Purpose Statement Sample, Diversity

XXXX State University is my first choice among Ph.D. programs in Statistics for several reasons, mostly the sheer excellence of your program, especially its interdisciplinary focus and resources. Data is everywhere at XSU. Nearby XXXX is also a data-rich area, and California is easily accessible. It would be a special honor to study under Dr. XXXX since I admire her research in data mining, measurement, and statistics in education. I could also not be more favorably impressed by the work of Dr. XXXX with his expertise in Bayesian S tatistics and machine learning. My focus was always on Mathematics. Thus, I first earned my undergraduate degree in Math and a minor in Statistics and completed a master's degree in Math. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, increasingly, Statistics has been my focus, my chosen vehicle for harnessing the power of Mathematics in the real world, which has always been my dream. Most of all, I feel called to contribute to the field of education since I see it as fundamental to human and social progress, development, and planetary peace and security. I love teaching numbers and have taught mathematics on and off for almost five years. Now is the right time for me to enter a Ph.D. Program in Statistics, and I have my heart set on doing so at XXXX State University. Earning my Ph.D. in Educational Measurement and Statistics will be the crowning achievement of my life, preparing me for many decades of innovative research to enhance educational systems. I look forward to building upon the foundation I have already established and pushing the frontiers of application, especially concerning factor analysis, multivariate analysis, Bayesian statistics, and statistical software such as R and SAS. I have keenly enjoyed multiple teaching experiences, serving for periods as a full-time and part-time instructor at a college level. I have become accustomed to and adept at interacting with students face-to-face and online. In addition to serving as a graduate assistant, I have also served as a substitute teacher in high school. My leadership capacity was boosted by the privilege of serving as the President of the Chinese Students Association. I also worked my way up to a managerial position in a restaurant, of which I am humbly proud. Nothing brings me greater joy than immersion in academics to which I long to return. My finest moments have been spent doing things like using Hawkes learning systems as a graduate assistant and WebAssign when I taught summer sessions. Currently, I use a personal math lab to teach college algebra. Blackboard Learn is another brilliant educational technology that I look forward to mastering to be able to easily collect data from students. I find all learning systems fascinating, with limitless potential for effective organization, homework development, quizzes, tests, adroitly managing students, and conducting research simultaneously. I will be inspired and empowered to become a leader in the research and practice of test development, psychometrics, and applied statistics. I look forward to decades to come, planning, implementing, and evaluating statistical models and improving social policy by implementing high-quality research methodologies. I want to be a part of an education industry projected to increase from 1.6 trillion yuan to 2.9 trillion yuan in China from 2015 to 2020. A decade ago, upon arriving in the USA with my parents, I barely spoke English. Thus, I am proud that I am now teaching at the college level, which I attribute to unceasing diligence and dedication to my studies and investigations. I look forward to becoming a leader in the education industry – especially as far as it relates to my native China. Earning a Ph.D. in Educational Measurement and Statistics will fulfill my dream in educational measurement, evaluation, and statistical methods. Now thirty-one, it is time to earn a Ph.D., and I have the full support of my wife and extended family which will be most helpful for me to devote myself to my studies 24/7. I hope to honor the Ph.D. Program in my field at XXXX State University by distinguishing myself in the service of a significant educational corporation or university, always dedicated to research and practice in my area. I thank you for considering my application to XXU. Statistics PHD Personal Purpose Statement Examples

I see the SCM Program in Epidemiology at the XXXX School of Public Health as the ideal platform to launch a career in international public health. I appreciate that Public Health in the Developing World occupies a top priority in your curriculum, keeping with your global focus and appreciation for diversity. A very hard-working scientist from India, I am a woman who could not be more passionate about global health issues. Earning the SCM at XXXX will be the finest preparation possible for going on to doctoral studies and, afterward, a career in international public health. My ideal position would be working with United Nations-based organizations or others concerned with promoting public health in the Global South. I have been traveling to various parts of my native India for years. In addition to India, I completed one of my master's degrees in the UK and have also spent prolonged periods in Korea for work and research. I earned several graduate credits studying at the Ph.D. level in Korea. In addition to English, Bengali, Hindi, Assamese, and some Kannada, I speak, read, and write basic Korean. I have had several long and intensive research experiences in cancer and bioinformatics. I have also completed extensive research in Diabetes. India, the land of unity in great diversity, represents a vast plethora of public health challenges that serve as important examples of what needs to be studied and dealt with in other parts of the Developing World. My travels and my study in Epidemiology worldwide, along with my unique, intensive experience with public health issues in the complex Indian context, will help me to hit the ground running and excel at XXXX. India faces many challenges in public health as diseases and demographics alike are constantly evolving. New challenges emerge frequently, with non-communicable and communicable diseases alike. Part of this is due to India’s success since many more are now fortunate enough to have risen into the middle classes, which has brought about a rise in longevity in India. Therefore, more resources must be directed to meet the aging population's needs. India is still at war with HIV, progress has been modest at best, and the struggle will last for some time barring radical advancement toward a cure. Even if a vaccine were to be found and produced, an enormous amount of work would need to be done to successfully implement such a mammoth undertaking. I admire the sheer excellence of your program in every area, especially Cancer Epidemiology . Thus, the XXXX Comprehensive Cancer Center is a major draw. I especially admire the work dealing with how periodontitis is a source of aggravation for lung and colorectal cancers. I read heavily in this area out of deep and sustained concern, coming from India with some of the highest oral cancer rates in the world. I also very much appreciate the research of Dr. XXXX concerning targeting proper etiology and Dr. G. Dsouza‘s work on HPV. I am well-read in HPV. I have experience with patients with HPV and cervical carcinoma, collecting samples of different grades of cancer and OT and studying the molecules that play crucial roles in propagating the disease. I live to combat their activities using herbal or the best medical approaches. Being a female from India, where cancer wreaks such maximum devastation, singling out women as victims in bizarre ways, I could not be more fully inspired to give my professional life to research in this area. Earning my SCM in Epidemiology at the XXXX School will serve as the optimal platform upon which I can make my maximum contribution to science and global health. I have a longstanding interest in the welfare of adolescent mothers through the preadult stage, particularly those with frequent childbirths. At this stage of life, the teenage female who becomes a mother invites enormous health distress and potential for problems later; young mothers and their children alike are vulnerable to complications, especially in India’s rural areas. Public health awareness initiatives in this area need to be part of more general and comprehensive initiatives. Since its Independence, India has focused on controlling infectious and vector-borne diseases and ensuring maternal and child health. While about 70,000 deaths a year in India are due to breast cancer, less than 50,000 women die yearly because of maternity. But India spends much more money on mother and child healthcare than it does on cancer. There has been insufficient attention paid to cancer and other chronic diseases in India. Now faced with increasing life span and population growth, changing lifestyles, and degraded environments, India needs to create effective strategies for cancer control. With a million new cancer cases yearly and around seven million cancer deaths a year with the number increasing rapidly, India can no longer afford to overlook cancer control via screening and early detection. I look forward to complementing the diversity of XXXX School which will enable me to bring honor to your institution and contribute something unique of value to the academic community. I thank you for considering my application to Epidemiology at XXXX. Master's Public Health Personal Purpose Statement Help

As a result of my significant exposure to research projects and researchers, I have come to understand that a good scientist is not necessarily a good researcher and that an influential researcher possesses a set of comparatively rare characteristics. The researcher is an excellent scientist with a comprehensive understanding of her subject, she is an honest person ready to admit to any bias or interest in outcomes. She has the capacity to think creatively and intuitively, the discipline to adhere strictly to relevant protocols, the determination to see challenges through to their conclusion, and the ability to cooperate with others. She also has the generosity to acknowledge the contribution made by others when goals are achieved. I passionately believe that I have demonstrated these characteristics and have the potential to develop them to the degree that will enable me to undertake excellent research for the common good. I am Taiwanese and my native language is Mandarin, and I am fluent in English. Since coming to the US, I have happily studied, worked, and socialized with people of various social and ethnic backgrounds. I enjoy learning about new cultures and sharing my own rich cultural heritage knowledge. I get along well with others and am as happy working in collaboration as working autonomously. Since childhood, I have intended to make a beneficial difference. My interest and ability in scientific subjects made it a natural career path. Biomedicine is the area in which I felt that I could maximize my usefulness to the world, and it is a choice that I have never regretted. It has provided great satisfaction and joy. I now seek to build upon my work, studies, and research experience to achieve my long-term objective of working in Informatics as an independent scientist in a research institute, hospital, or private company. At the National Chung Hsing University, I acquired basic laboratory skills in Molecular Biology and plant tissue culture. My problem-solving skills were challenged and developed. I worked hard and found the work fascinating. I acquired a reputation for being able to learn quickly and thoroughly and demonstrating adaptability, and I was soon entrusted with a project of my own, Once I had been awarded my master's degree, Dr. XXXX recommended me to Dr. XXXX at XXXX University. I had never traveled outside Taiwan at that time. I was apprehensive, though extremely excited, at being given this opportunity because I was fascinated with the subject of the project. The research at XXXX proved to be far more challenging than I had expected, but this was a formative and enriching experience in the development of my skills and in recognizing some latent abilities. The experiments were straightforward, but the daily challenges and the troubleshooting proved to be the most challenging aspects of the work, and I rose to those challenges. Working as an Exchange Researcher at XXXX opened my eyes to the vast range of research undertaken in the US. I elected to join Dr. XXXX’s lab in July 2015 because I regarded his research in Membrane Biophysics as an excellent opportunity to work with and learn from biology and physics experts. The techniques and thinking applied in the lab were significantly different from those I had experienced to date. I needed to adapt quickly to new concepts, which I did successfully. During this time, my confidence increased, and my knowledge was broadened and deepened. Dr. XXXX encouraged me to fulfill my dream of pursuing a Ph.D. and allowed me to take a course in programming to enable me to do so. I learned how to properly use R programming, which was new to me, and became fascinated with this aspect of data science. At this point, my decision to pursue a Biomedical Ph.D. was made. For decades, Dr. XXXX’s group has studied the interaction between antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and cell membranes. My first project in Dr. XXXX’s lab was comparing AMPs between the model and E. coli membranes. The bacterial membrane represents an attractive target for designing new antibiotics to combat widespread bacterial resistance. Understanding how antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and other membrane-active agents attack membranes could facilitate the creation of new, increasingly effective antimicrobials. Despite the intense study of AMPs on model membranes, we do not know how well the attack mechanism translates to natural biological membranes. To that end, we have characterized the attack of AMPs on Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membranes and directly compared this action to model membranes. Our results support using model membranes to study the molecular interactions of AMPs with bacterial membranes. The challenging work was rewarded with a publication in Biophysical Journal in Feb 2017. I am applying to UX Health because of its worldwide reputation for the quality of its research projects, the prestigious faculty, the world-class facilities, and the stellar success of so many of its graduates. Working with the most promising and passionate students in Biomedicine is beautiful. I have the potential to add to the university’s lustrous reputation and will apply myself with exceptional diligence and enthusiasm to do so. I seek a challenging and highly supportive academic environment, and I am confident that this will be provided. I am convinced that I possess the determination, diligence, skills, knowledge, and working experience that will enable me to excel in the program and beyond. I seek challenges and consequent satisfaction, and I believe working with copious amounts of biological data to answer pressing questions will give this the highest degree. While at XXXX, I was involved in analyzing copious amounts of data. I learned the basics of large-scale data management within a Bioinformatics system to integrate gene data with proper statistical models to predict genetic interactions. Since that experience, supplemented by my formal study of ‘R Programming,’ Bioinformatics has become the center of my intellectual and investigative worlds. I am confident that I have the intelligence, diligence, and flexibility to enable me to advance and excel in Public Health Informatics . PHD Bioinformatics Personal Purpose Statement
