I am a 27-year-old medical doctor who graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2016 with the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, and Bachelor in the Art of Obstetrics, LRCPI, and S.I. (Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland). After graduating, I completed my internship in Jeddah at the King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Irish medical training has an excellent and well-earned international reputation, and I feel grateful to have benefited from first-class and comprehensive training there. I was in a class of two hundred international students from over fifty countries, leaving me with a network of friends and colleagues in many different countries. During my internship, I worked with many specialists on my rotations in Surgery at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Jeddah. Because my father is a cardiac patient, I adopted Cardiology as my specialization early on. I could not be more enthused about preventive medicine, especially for the heart; simple lifestyle and dietary adjustments can prevent a range of chronic and deadly diseases. I became a physician because I wanted to make a beneficial difference in the world, especially in my country. I cannot think of an excellent way to do so than to become a specialist cardiologist and educate patients, families, and the Saudi population to adopt healthy diets and lifestyles and reduce or prevent the effects of cardiac and other common ‘lifestyle’ diseases. This is not only a matter of personal well-being but creates other essential benefits, such as the opportunities to re-direct valuable healthcare provisions to those who have not been the authors of their medical misfortunes. I have already participated in a campaign to reduce smoking and have co-authored a paper on smoking cessation and subsequent depression in respiratory patients. I hope to do much more in the future. It was a French Cardiologist, Jacques Puel, who first implanted a stent, and it was this procedure that saved my father’s life and that of so many others. I have visited France many times and am passionate about the country and its people, with essential fluency in the language. The four-year duration of the medical residency program indicates the breadth and depth of the curriculum, which, I am sure, will provide me with a solid foundation upon which to continue to advance in Cardiology. I can also look forward to being exposed to an increased number and variety of cardiac patients and treatment options available. I am particularly interested in the work undertaken at Hsopital Rangel in Toulouse, the central university hospital with a specialist pediatric cardiology unit. I aim to become a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and caring specialist and take a consultancy and teaching post in Saudi Arabia. I hope to pass on my skills, knowledge, and passion to a new generation of specialists. I am excited at the prospect of joining a specialty with such rapid innovation in surgical techniques, therapeutic equipment, and pharmacy. I hope to play my part in this quest for improvement in outcomes. I also hope to play a significant role in improving outcomes and prevention through health education.

My parents are immigrants from the Dominican Republic, and we spoke only Spanish at home as I was growing up. I was placed in a bilingual, mostly Spanish classroom when I entered kindergarten. However, my mother wanted me to learn English quickly and put me in a monolingual first-grade classroom. It was terrifying at first because I was confused for a sustained period, to tears. I am not suggesting that the decision made by my mother was incorrect. I know that this most difficult of experiences and the great challenge represented on many levels is the foundational experience behind my intense desire to become a bilingual school counselor in Spanish/English. I have chosen this career path because I have firsthand familiarity with the issues. I hope to be selected to begin study in XXU’s Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance Program for the most intensive immersion experience possible in Bilingual School Counseling for Grades Pre-K-12 . Born and raised in NYC, I cannot imagine wanting to live anywhere else permanently. Thus, XXXX University’s location is a significant factor in why it is my first choice for graduate study since I consider it the world's epicenter. Still, that is not the only reason, nor is the highly distinguished and prestigious nature and reputation of XXXX. Primarily, earning my master's degree at XXU would be a unique dream come true because of the high priority placed on social justice and equality as an inherent part of the educational mission of your program and your university. This coming May 2018, I will be graduating with a degree in Sociology and a central focus on Education, Social Inequality, and Urban Studies. In courses like “Education and Inequality” and “Global and Cross-Cultural Perspectives,” I learned to think with increasing sophistication about the experiences of diverse groups resulting from educational processes. One of the courses I am especially looking forward to taking at XXU is “Cross-Cultural Counseling and Development of Immigrant Origin Youth.” This course typifies the directions in which I want to pursue advanced study and how I have prepared for graduate school thus far through my choices as an undergraduate student in Sociology. Educational counseling is my calling. I enjoyed everything about my job: interacting with the students in small group settings or building one-on-one connections. I was eager to get to work each day, especially to bond with those students who seemed to me to be in the greatest need of forming emotional ties. Now, I want to train for a lifetime of positive impact on students’ lives—academically, socially, and personally. I possess the necessary personal qualities, characteristics, and skill set, together with the academic experience, to excel in the MA Program in Counseling and Guidance at XXU. As a bilingual school counselor, I will be able to serve as a critical asset for students for whom English is not their first language. I want to be accessible to this population because I want to help those who find themselves in similar situations as I once faced as a young child, overcoming language barriers, and helping them thrive in and out of the classroom. Although I was born in New York City, I did not learn English until six. I still remember raising my tiny hand in the first grade with a facial expression of total confusion. Being a daughter of recent immigrants from the Dominican Republic, I know the struggles that many students face, entering what is, for many, a bizarre new world where they are under tremendous pressure to grasp the complexities of a new language and culture. Since serving others has always been my passion, I decided to begin volunteering as a mentor for children in the foster care system during the last year of my undergraduate studies. Through my experience at New Alternatives for Children, I have enjoyed the profound privilege of helping children aged nine through twelve diagnosed with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. My experience as a mentor to these children in need has been gratifying. I have learned a great deal from them, mainly because they come from various social, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. I am convinced that this experience will help me hit the ground running in your program and make valuable contributions to discussions. Thank you for considering my application to Counseling and Guidance at XXU. MA Educational Counseling Personal Purpose Example

The Ph.D. Program in Education focusing on Contemporary Learning and Interdisciplinary Research at XXXX University is my first choice for graduate school because I am the best fit with XXXX. I live and work in New York City, and I see your program as the most international and interdisciplinary doctoral program in the city, if not the world. I look forward to contributing to the diversity of the academic community as a young Uyghur woman raised in a small village in China. I come from a village in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China. We have much in common in our ethnic and linguistic heritage with the peoples of Central Asia. This is why I am a near-native speaker of Uzbek and Kazak in addition to Uyghur, English, and Mandarin Chinese. I grew up in my grandparents’ home, and my grandma always told me that people in our village thought that women did not need to attend school and that they should stay home and do housework. Because of this sentiment, she had not received an education and was disappointed throughout her life. Hence, she has encouraged me to pursue my education because women are equal to men, and women should also have the chance to pursue their dreams. I was uprooted and, with little preparation, sent to the other side of the country to attend a high school in a city in southeast China as part of a unique education program for gifted minority students. The spacious classrooms all contained big-screen computers. I thought about my classroom in my village. I always prayed that it would not rain because, when it did, our classroom would fill with water, and our school closed. I was happy to come to a fancy classroom but sad to think about the other children in my village, still up to their ankles in water. I have been challenged by many obstacles throughout my pursuit of optimal education. Each hurdle has left me even more highly motivated than before to earn my Ph.D. in Education. Leaving home when I was fifteen and returning for only one month each year was terrifying and heart-rending, as well as detrimental to my academic success. However, I was fortified by the suffering and became more independent as time passed. Most importantly, this experience left me hungry to do research in education, especially primary education. I want to help our educational system learn more from America and adopt more of its pedagogical style in its institutions. Student-centered pedagogy is needed in China to cultivate critical and independent thinking, the foundation of future success at every level, intellectual and cultural as well as economic. Only education can mitigate gender inequalities, grounded in girls' empowerment. There is too much memorizing in the classroom in China; and too little discussion, which is needed to foster critical, independent, and creative thinking. Here in the USA, parents are not only concerned with grades, as is often the case in China, but also try to help children develop their potential abilities, especially critical and independent thinking. I hope to explore these kinds of issues more in-depth at XXXX and take a remarkably close look at the literature concerned with the education of Chinese immigrant children. While exploring the differences between student-centered and teacher-centered education, I will look closely at the categories of student motivation, child development, and how parents’ expectations and rules affect the child’s level of achievement. As a Ph.D. student in XXXX’s Education Program, I would be especially eager for the entire immersion experience possible in quantitative research methods. I see this as particularly crucial to my future research. I would benefit from the Contemporary Learning Curriculum as I strive to better understand the complex dimensions of educational systems. I have read the work of Dr. XXXX, and it would be a special honor to study under her guidance, particularly as concerns the areas of cultural competency and its impact on student motivation and performance. Receiving instruction and guidance from Dr. XXXX would be of special benefit to me because I have studied research methods and statistics intensively, to be confident that this is the area where I want to make my professional mark. During my master's program, I conducted a cultural competency study focused on my hometown in China that turned into my master's thesis, which necessitated extensive quantitative research, examined motivation and job performance among public service workers, and was based on data from both the public and private sectors regarding employee injury and illness. At XXXX, I look forward to deepening and broadening my research regarding motivation to excel academically. I participated in a year-and-a-half-long teaching and research assistance program in my school’s Political Science and Public Administration Department. I worked with Dr. XXXX, Dr. XXXX, and Dr. XXXX during this period. I helped them grade papers, proctor exams, guide class discussions, and host office hours to answer students’ questions. I was a teaching assistant for a “Nonprofit Management” class and an “Introduction to Empirical Methods of Political Research” class. I also covered a research methodology class when my professor attended a conference and taught students how to use Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze data. They often came to my office to ask me questions which helped me further refine my communication skills with students from all over the USA. Simultaneously, I also guided undergraduate discussion sections for the Political Science Department, much focused-on democracy in action projects. I helped Dr. XXXX to analyze the Political Science Department’s Undergraduate Assessment Report. Finally, I instructed children at the Math and Science Education Center as an instructor for Super Saturday events at Central Michigan University. As a care coordinator at NYC Health & Hospitals, my current position allows me to collaborate daily with residents, representatives of community organizations, students, parents, school staff unions, and other public and private agencies. At the same time, I participate in the planning, organization, and implementation of programs to increase community participation. My position allows me to communicate with and support low-income families of many races and ethnicities. I have also worked with the mentally ill and victims of substance abuse, learning how to listen and handle challenging cases. I look forward to graduating from XXXX University as a top-notch researcher and, later, a university professor. Thank you for considering my application to Education at XXXX.

It is my sincere hope to be accepted to the Ph.D. Program in Asia Pacific Studies at XXXX University in Taiwan. I am the best fit for your thoroughly interdisciplinary program covering all four Asian Studies tracks central to the research I hope to undertake in the future. I am a diligent student from Thailand who is highly devoted to the cause of Asian unity and prosperity. I am confident that my great passion will inspire me to excel as a graduate student in your program. As someone from a country still developing economically, I seek to learn from the lessons and examples set by our more successful neighbors in Southeast Asia, those whose economies have grown much more than our own. I realize the extremely competitive nature of your program. Still, I hope to be selected because I have noble ideals for progress and a great passion for Asian affairs and issues, including questions of justice and human rights in Southeast Asia and economic development. I also graduated at the top of my class for my MA in English, with a GPA of 3.96, earning me the “Great Student” award. I currently live in Bangkok, working as an Assistant Overseas Sales Manager. My duties include the management of a duty-free shop in Myanmar, just on the other side of the border. I do not work in Myanmar; however, since I can work from my home in Thailand, my position has dramatically increased my interest in the country, especially because of the issue of human rights abuses, which I see as a stain on the whole of Southeast Asia. However, I traveled abroad with my boss to go to Guangzhou, China, for ten days for the Canton Fair in 2017. We also went to Taipei, Taiwan, for ten days last year. I fell in love with everything that I saw around me and would treasure the privilege of studying and learning in this exciting environment. I have seen much of the world working in international sales, and this will provide me with unique experiences to share with my colleagues in Asian Studies. For example, I have been to South Africa on a tour of our wine suppliers for 15 days, spent 20 days in Europe visiting beer companies and other suppliers, and spent five days in Barcelona, Spain, visiting a sangria company. I spent another ten days in Italy sourcing fashion and luxury products for my boss, and, closer to home, I have also been to Hong Kong to visit our suppliers for perfumes and cosmetics. I have had a chance to get to know various developed countries and cultures, and Taiwan is the one that most excites me. My hopes are high, so I have been making great strides in improving my Mandarin. I see Taiwan as the flagship nation for our most significant economic and cultural powerhouse, the Chinese people. In 2017, I went to 12 countries in Europe and Asia in only one year. I enjoyed seeing everything abroad for myself, constantly learning new things, and adapting to new cultures and ways of life. I found Taipei’s people among the most friendly, hospitable, and engaging people in the world. I want to explore Taiwan in-depth and study multiculturalism and multilingualism. Most of all, I want to closely examine the history of Taiwan’s economic growth and how it became the seventh largest economy in all of Asia in such a brief period. I started teaching English in my second year of the university as a part-time job to pay the tuition fee for the university because I did not want to ask for money from my father. My parents have been divorced since I was nine, and all responsibilities in raising me fell on my father. Every weekend I would teach English from 9 am to 9 pm, Saturday and Sunday, for three years in a row until I graduated. I was usually invited to teach in public schools where 200 - 500 students were in a class – a significant challenge. Most public schools hire English tutors who work as freelancers preparing students for university admission examinations; I was also chosen to be one of those tutors. After finishing my undergraduate studies, I went to Bangkok to work as an English tour guide for one year, then moved back to Pitas unlock to teach English and save money for my master's studies. I continued teaching for several years until, in 2014, I followed a new path in Bangkok, accepting a position as a news anchor – opening my eyes to the world around me. I continued to teach on weekends in Bangkok until 2015, when I applied for and was awarded a full scholarship from the Graduate School of Language and Communication (GSLC) to earn my MA in English for Professional Development, providing me with opportunities to travel outside my country for the first time in my life. There is a critical shortage of qualified teachers and professors in Thailand – especially those with international educations. My country needs hardworking people like me who are eager to learn from our global partners so that we have tools and opportunities to advance ourselves, as has Taiwan, which is prosperous, and developing rapidly in every way as a leader in the community of nations. I thank you for your consideration. PHD Asia Pacific Studies Personal Purpose Statement

To Whom It May Concern, As the Director of Anesthesiology at XXXX Hospital in XXXX, Japan, I have had the privilege of getting to know Dr. XXXX professionally since we are colleagues and have participated in professional activities together, sharing many of our common, ongoing research interests. He works extremely hard and has an enormous amount of positive energy that is invective on his team. He never loses his calm sense of focus on the patient guide, even in complicated cases with multiple co-morbidities. Dr. XXXX is a rapid learner, and he stays abreast of all developments in his field, helping the rest of us stay up because of the learning sessions that he organizes. I profoundly admire the tremendous effort he puts into the task and his vast dedication to clinical practice. Dr. XXXX completed an observer ship in Germany at the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW in XXXX, Germany. Now, his heart is set on going to America and completing a residency in anesthesiology. I am sure he will be an enormous asset to the program he will join. Sincerely, LOR, Letter of Recommendation Medical Residency

To Whom It May Concern, My name is XXXX, and I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of XXXX for acceptance to dental school. I am a dentist initially from Vietnam, where I went to dental school with XXXX’s mother at the Ho Chi Minh School of Dentistry. Since then, we have remained close, mainly because we both immigrated to the USA, where we now practice dentistry. It has been a privilege to watch XXXX mature into adulthood as an outstanding student most dedicated to her studies, with enormous potential for contributing to her chosen career. I am delighted to see that XXXX has chosen dentistry as her profession, following in the footsteps of her mother, and I am convinced that she will not only excel but distinguish herself in the future as a very hard-working dentist with enormous compassion for her patients and dedication to the advancement of her profession. Her mother immigrated to the USA, where we earned our DDS Degree and now practice dentistry. I earned my degree at Loma Linda University and established my practice in San Diego, California, several years ago. I have an excellent footing for giving XXXX the best recommendation that I can because she shadowed me in my dental practice for 125 hours, from December 2018 through July 2019, 5 hours each Saturday - 10 am to 3 pm. It was immediately apparent to me by the end of the first hour that XXXX assisted me in my clinic that her mother is a dentist; as if it were in her blood, how rapidly she picked up everything around her. I was thoroughly amazed at her performance, and the rapidity with which she grasped the day-to-day functions of a dental clinic, and even mastered some of them by the time she left. I have never seen anyone learn anything with such rapidity due to her focus, drive, dedication, and innate abilities. I think her great passion for dentistry is her calling, her inheritance, and the continuation of a beautiful family tradition passed down from mother to daughter in this great country, a land of opportunity for so many. The three of us all daydream about returning to Vietnam at some point in the future to contribute to the advancement of dentistry for the underserved in our land of origin. Thank you for considering XXXX’s application. Her progress is a profound honor for all of us, and I would be most pleased to be able to provide you with any further information. Sincerely, LOR, Letter of Recommendation for International Dentist

An early facility with numbers and skills in Mathematics has developed over time into a fascination with Statistics. This came with the realization that the applications of Statistics are almost limitless, with the potential to benefit every area of business, government, and our individual lives. My goal is to acquire the advanced skills and knowledge that the program will provide. My initial goal is to serve as a Statistical Consultant assisting large businesses by providing and analyzing data in an accurate and timely fashion to meet financial and other purposes. Once I have sufficient experience, I hope to become an independent consultant while undertaking research and teaching in Applied Statistics. I am in my final undergraduate year at UXXX and will shortly complete my economics and statistics degree; I am expected to graduate in July 2018 with a robust first-class degree. My current studies have provided a solid foundation in basic statistical concepts and methodologies, mathematical modeling, statistical methods in economic statistics, and functional analysis. To enhance my analytical skills, I studied our boroughs’ crime data with four other team members in the Statistical Department at UXXX. I applied R Program and Stata to establish statistical models and produce a pragmatic report. During the application, I discovered how to adjust measures across broad categories. In addition, we allocated different tasks to individuals efficiently in the collaboration. We produced an in-depth analysis report with a balanced conclusion in a week and won third place in the departmental competition. This participation taught me how to make strategic decisions in a team, and the practice also enhanced my technical skills in developing MATLAB programming. I am particularly drawn to the program at XXXX because of the emphasis on equipping students with skills in applying knowledge to practical needs and applications and the practical sessions to achieve this. I am also keen to join a program with high mathematical content to extend and hone my natural skills in the subject. I am attracted to the study of Computational Statistics because I know there is no shortage of data in the world, but there are many gaps in the world’s ability to make sense of and use it. This study area is an enabling key in turning mass data into useful information. This will be essential for maximizing my utility to future employers and clients. I have studied ‘R’ and Stata and was fascinated by their possibilities in providing solutions to problems that were, only recently, intractable. I recognize that this specialty will prove to be a vital tool in providing long-term business predictions. I have demonstrated high-order analytical skills in my academic career, and I am now very keen to study Statistical Inference formally, to enhance my interpretative and intuitive skills - approaching recent problems in creative and original ways. I realize that such skills are essential to the roles that I hope to fill in the future, and I have the potential to excel. I hope to enter a prestigious program with a highly challenging and supportive academic environment, its alumni noted for their exceptional success. I also hope to create links and relationships with future leaders in the field. Thus, I regard your program as a perfect ‘fit’ to empower and inspire me in achieving my goals. My formal studies in Economics have given me an insight into the challenges faced in a rapidly changing business environment in which timely and accurate statistical information is the most vital of all business tools. I have an excellent foundation in basic skills, knowledge, and the characteristics required to excel in the program and beyond. I get on well with others, have an open and friendly personality, and cooperate willingly and happily to achieve a common goal. I have worked and studied with people from many social and ethnic backgrounds and know that understanding other cultures is essential in creating positive and mutually beneficial academic, social, and working relationships. I enjoy learning about diverse cultures and sharing information about my rich cultural heritage. My native language is Mandarin, and I speak, read, and write English with an elevated level of fluency. I have contributed to the student community at UXXX by acting as the Departmental Student Academic Representative to facilitate and encourage communication between teaching staff and students, report academic issues reported by students, and help resolve problems that have been identified with departmental tutors. I hope that I may be able to play some constructive role in the academic community while earning a master's degree. I fully appreciate that the program will be highly demanding. I can assure the reader that I shall rise to those demands with the exceptional diligence, determination, and enthusiasm I have demonstrated in my undergraduate career. My studies to date have provided me with an excellent and highly relevant knowledge base to enable me to profit from the program. My interests and the program curriculum overlap to a considerable degree. More important, however, is my genuine passion for Statistics and the revolution in our field that has come about due to computer technology. I am determined to play a part. Thank you for considering my application. Masters Statistics Personal Purpose Statement Sample

My primary pedagogical strategy is to enthuse and inspire, making the content come alive for language teachers and their students. The University of XXXX is my first choice among Ph.D. programs in Linguistic s. I have several friends in XXXX, and I like everything I read about your university very much. I have my heart set on attending your program, particularly because it is listed as #1 by the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education, my sponsor. Once I have completed the Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of XXXX, I shall have the opportunity to take up a senior teaching post upon my return to the KSA. I seek total immersion in second-language acquisition and s. I feel confident that my solid background in TESL and teaching methods will help me excel in my postgraduate studies. Earning my Ph.D. from the University of XXXX will serve as the optimal springboard to launch the balance of my career as an educational professional in Saudi Arabia and, within time, as a full professor in Second Language Acquisition and Sociolinguistics. I have been especially fascinated by language ever since I can remember because it is pervasive in our lives and provides great insight into what people think. My early interest in how language works and the relationship between language and communication developed, over time, into my desire to teach languages. As a graduate of the Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSU), I graduated with honors in two departments, Translation and Languages. Earning this degree gave me extensive knowledge in various fields closely related to the English language, especially Translation, Literature, Linguistics, and Teaching Methodology. My studies enabled me to develop my linguistic abilities significantly and to acquire a vast appreciation for English Literature in addition to the language. I especially enjoy focusing on language acquisition through cultural concepts that serve as bridges of knowledge that successfully foster communication with English speakers, raising awareness of how the customs of different peoples are reflected in their language. During the last semester of my bachelor's program, I spent three months teaching English in our public school system. My experience as a teacher helped to inspire and intensify my focus on integrating linguistics and education. Shortly after my graduation, I found the balance I was looking for when I was chosen for a position as a Teacher Assistant in the English Language Department at IMSU. In this position, I realized the importance of keeping myself up to date on the literature on advanced education, promising research, and creative teaching methods in my field. My graduate courses in the MA program provided me with a solid immersion in the fundamentals of Linguistics. Learning from world-famous professors with global perspectives, I learned about many of the intricacies of linguistics and teaching. This helped me radically enhance my understanding of theory and enlightened me immensely with a broad gambit of issues and challenges in Linguistics. What I have learned about teaching has deeply impressed me with the infinite character of knowledge. I profoundly appreciate the privilege of advancing professionally and keenly anticipate a complete immersion in the theoretical examination of language acquisition reinforced by my personal and professional experiences as a teacher, second language learner, and researcher. I am passionate about language and society, change, and language acquisition. I believe that a world-class education in Sociolinguistics will help me become the most exemplary English Language educator I can be, making my contribution to the advancement of my society. I like to think of myself as an international educational ambassador, adding to the diversity and richness of the University of XXXX. After completing your program, I will return home to utilize my research and academic abilities to progressively enhance and enrich the Saudi educational system as a faculty member in the English Language Department. I look forward to a long professional lifetime teaching and networking in the KSA and beyond in such a way as to contribute maximum sensitivity to our study of cultural perspectives and diversity in education. I feel strongly that the University of XXXX is the best place to begin my journey, and I thank you for considering my application. PHD Linguistics Personal Purpose Statement Sample

Introduction Choosing a specialty in medicine is a pivotal decision for any physician, and crafting a personal statement that reflects your passion and qualifications is crucial for securing a residency position. In this blog post, we present a sample personal statement from a physician with diverse experience in General Surgery and Family Medicine, who has now discovered her true calling in Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn). We will break down the key elements that make this statement compelling and provide insights for aspiring Ob/Gyn residents. Residency in Ob/Gyn Personal Statement Example: A Physician’s Journey to Ob/Gyn Residency Introduction to the Specialty I have undertaken residencies in General Surgery in India and Family and Community Medicine in the US. However, having had my first child two years ago and the privilege of treating many low-risk obstetrics/gynecology patients during the latter residency, a growing interest in Ob-Gyn was aroused. I now recognize that this is the specialty that I should pursue. Cultural Sensitivity and Patient Trust In Indian culture, it is not always easy for a woman to provide confidential information or submit to an intimate examination by a stranger, no matter how professionally qualified. Happily, I could always quickly obtain my patients' confidence in these matters. I feel that this natural affinity to and empathy for female patients has been dramatically increased by my experience of pregnancy and giving birth. I have thrived on the recognition and appreciation I have received from my patients in the US and India. My goal is to join a residency program in a challenging and supportive environment where I will acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to practice both Ob-Gyn and Family Medicine, in a community health setting. I am also interested in the possibility of pursuing a fellowship in the specialty before returning to practice. Transferable Skills from Previous Residencies My completed residencies have provided me with knowledge and skills that are transferable to this specialty. Surgery has given me the confidence to make my own decisions, honed my manual dexterity, and allowed me to develop my eye for detail and thoroughness in approach. Family medicine has given me considerable experience in disease prevention, health promotion, primary management of common diseases, and forming and maintaining positive relationships with patients. I discovered my strengths and limitations through my role as an FP-OB provider for my practice. While I can make critical patient care decisions, even in stressful situations, I am always ready to seek guidance when the problem warrants it. Family Medicine has also exposed me to many low-risk obstetrics/gynecology patients, and this exposure has dramatically enhanced my interest in the specialty. I am keen to provide specialist preventative care and continuity care to Ob/Gyn patients. Leadership and Special Interests As an attending physician and formerly clinic director at a Community Health Center, I have acquired and developed skills in prioritization, delegation, and organization both in and out of the operating room. My special interests are family planning, contraception, minimally invasive gynecological surgery, and preventing STDs. I hope to be able to assist in research in one or more of these areas, and I hope to pursue research throughout my professional life. I am a naturally curious person with the patient, determined and organized approach that successful research requires. I am also keen to develop teaching skills as I enjoy sharing knowledge and encouraging others to recognize and achieve their professional potential. Cultural and Social Sensitivity in Healthcare I am aware of the vital importance of cultural and social sensitivity in providing healthcare, and in this specialty, more than any other. My home country is culturally diverse, and I have happily studied alongside, treated, and worked with people from many cultural and social backgrounds both in India and the US. I have provided services to free clinics in both countries. I have always been determined to treat the patients at such clinics with the same respect and professional care I would afford to the most prominent or wealthy patients. I am particularly interested in indigent care, and I hope to apply the additional knowledge and skills acquired in the residency to help such patients with advice and treatment. Conclusion and Commitment to the Specialty I understand there will be many well-qualified applicants for residency vacancies in this specialty. However, I do consider myself to be an exceptional candidate. I have much relevant working experience; I relate exceptionally well with female patients; the rank attained in my bachelor's studies will assure my academic ability and diligence; I am happy working in, or leading, a team to achieve common goals. Most importantly, I offer a deeply felt passion and enthusiasm for the specialty and a determination to excel within it so that I can provide exceptional patient care. Analysis of the Personal Statement Introduction to the Specialty The applicant begins by outlining her previous experience in General Surgery and Family Medicine, explaining how her personal experience of motherhood and professional exposure to Ob/Gyn patients ignited her passion for this specialty.

Introduction This personal statement illustrates the journey of an applicant who draws inspiration from his father's dedication as a farmer to pursue a career in medicine. The narrative highlights the applicant's background, experiences, and aspirations, making a compelling case for their admission to medical school. Medical School Personal Statement Inspiration from My Father I heard the familiar sound of the back door closing gently. My father was returning from driving his dirty, green John Deere tractor in one of our fields. He begins his day at 5:00 a.m. every morning and usually returns around 7:00 p.m. I never really questioned his schedule when I was a child, but as I entered high school, I wondered how my dad could work so hard every day and still enjoy what he does. He works long hours, becomes filthy from dirt, oil, and mud, and can, worst of all, watch all his hard work go to waste if one day of severe weather wipes out our crop. There have been many years when our raisins were rained on, our cherries were hailed on, and our apples baked by the sun. It never ceases to amaze me when my father wakes up every morning to start work, he does so with gusto. The life of a farmer can be laborious and stressful, yet my father continues to do his job with passionate enthusiasm. His dedication and pride mystified me throughout high school. Only after I entered university did I understand how he could persevere and face the challenges of farming. University Experience and Adaptation I entered XXXX University like a small child wandering through a park. Never had I been exposed to anything so grandiose and dominating. Born and raised in a rural town of three thousand people, I wasn't ready for Chicago's fast-paced life and crowds. However, I eventually grew into its lifestyle and learned to adapt to my unfamiliar environment. I found my bio-ethics class, in which we discussed key issues in health care, incredibly fascinating. The physician’s dilemma particularly intrigued me: Doing everything to provide the best health care possible but being constrained by limited resources when the funds are unavailable. Perseverance in Medicine These frustrating situations significantly strain physicians, yet they persevere and continue to work long hours in hospitals, clinics, and HMOs, providing the best care they can. While thoroughly aware of the long hours a physician must work and the challenges they face, I choose medicine because of the unique rewards of helping a sick human being. As I think about a physician’s life, I also think of the many times I had watched my father sit silently at the dinner table, deep in thought, contemplating his options when our farm was not earning any income, and the bills continued to arrive. We don't hear him complain; we only listen to him leave early in the morning. Research Experience and Tenacity I also saw determination and tenacity in another setting while at XU: Dr. XXXX's neurophysiology laboratory. In collaboration with Dr. XXXX. At XU, I performed immunohistochemistry experiments to label metabotropic glutamate receptors. Research is intrinsically laborious and painstaking, but through my experience with Dr. XXXX, I saw the stress, frustration, and uncertainty involved in obtaining grants. Yet he continues his pursuit of knowledge. Despite limited resources, like my father and the clinical physician, he tries every day to do his best to achieve his goals. I used a similar drive in my research projects and am now co-author of an article. Inspired by Dr. XXXX, I will harness that determination in medicine. He showed me what it means to enjoy a career. I can enjoy practicing medicine — the same joy my father has enjoyed tending to his fields. Commitment to Medicine Becoming a physician is a goal aspired to by many. As a farmer’s son, I have awakened early and returned home late from the fields after long days with my father. I have been able to experience uncertainties, challenges, and plain old arduous work like that faced by physicians. But like the doctors in the hospitals and Dr. XXXX in his lab, I can find happiness and satisfaction in helping people through medicine. Despite all the hardships doctors face, I want to help people daily. Practicing medicine is something worth the stress and long hours. I finally understand my father. I now know how he can wake up every morning at 5:00 a.m. and drive his dirty, green tractor until 7:00 p.m. Thank you for considering my application to medical school .

Introduction This personal statement showcases the journey and aspirations of an Internal Medicine applicant from India, who seeks to advance their career in the United States. It emphasizes the applicant's dedication to personal and professional growth, extensive medical experience, and commitment to providing compassionate care. This narrative aims to convey the applicant's qualifications, experiences, and aspirations, making a compelling case for their admission to an Internal Medicine residency program. Personal Statement Early Life and Motivation I was born in Surya Pet, India, and grew up in a family of Engineers. They taught me the importance of setting goals, diligence, and perseverance. Personal growth has been as significant to me as my aspiration to become a doctor. I have long sought a balance in my life by involving myself in various extracurricular activities, especially volleyball and cricket. I became a leader because of the profound passion that I invested in our team. Early in my life, I realized that Medicine would be my career for me. My engineering family could not have been more enthusiastic, and they helped to make my childhood fantasy of becoming a doctor a reality. I am most comfortable working in Internal Medicine because of its centrality to our vocation. Internal Medicine is our professional center of gravity. Medical School and Initial Rotations I came to medical school with the vision that doctors were people with vast knowledge about innumerable ailments. I had fully embraced that idea I felt early on while still a student, mainly when my loved ones turned to me for medical advice. Through my initial rotation in Internal Medicine, I felt the most incredible sense of rapid growth, emotionally and psychologically, especially concerning diagnosis, management, and follow-up processes. I was fascinated by the sheer diversity of the cases and the volume of direct patient contact. I reveled in the full embrace of holistic imperatives; dealing with the patient as a totality struck me as sensible, logical, and especially well-suited for working at the core of Medicine: Internal Medicine. I had found my professional center of gravity. Working in other areas of Medicine only served to solidify my decision to focus my professional course in this area, Draw to Internal Medicine I am drawn to internal medicine because of the challenges and the way that it requires hard work, dependability, and the staying power necessary to maintain strong social connections. I enjoy science and the evaluation and constant re-evaluation of evidence. After having the opportunity to rotate through many specialties as a student, I have come to appreciate the way that Internists are who one most often thinks of when they think of a doctor. Internal Medicine embodies what I envision a physician to be: compassionate, respected, and knowledgeable. Clinical Experience in the US I look forward to a career in internal medicine for intellectual stimulation and the opportunity to provide continuous care for my patients, serving as an advocate for patients and colleagues. The three months that I spent in a clinical rotation in Oklahoma, and the privilege of completing this observer ship program, allowed me to fully immerse myself in pathophysiologic processes, diagnoses, and the treatment regimens of the patients I was assigned to follow. I can still remember a patient who was suffering from complications of diabetic nephropathy. Every morning at half-past six, I would wake him from a deep slumber to inquire about his condition overnight and to perform a physical exam. Instead of being annoyed at the disturbance, Mr. Smith came to see my early morning visit as an integral component of his care during his stay at the hospital. He looked to me for information and guidance about the next step in his management. From him and others like him, I learned about the pathology of disease and the special bond that develops between physician and patient. During this observer ship, I became determined to apply for an Internal Medicine residency position in the United States. The pride I felt in seeing daily improvements in my patients and managing multiple physiological and psychological challenges left me hungry for more experience as part of some of the world’s finest medical teams. Commitment to Lifelong Learning and Research I crave further opportunities to develop as a clinician and a scientist and to augment my experience with diverse patient populations and innovative treatments. I come from a developing nation where we are very constrained economically; thus, making life-and-death medical decisions with our hands tied. I see medicine as a profession of lifelong learning and research as a central key to making progress in finding solutions to health problems and setting standards for care and disease prevention. I look forward to working long hours, facing challenges, and developing knowledge that will continue to grow during my Internal Medicine residency and beyond. I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic physician committed to pursuing this incredible journey. Future Goals and Conclusion My long-term plans include completing a fellowship after completing a residency program. I look forward to a lengthy career in internal medicine, compassionate care, intellectual stimulation, and the building of life-long friendships with patients and colleagues. I am a strong candidate for your residency program because of its ambitious nature; I am looking for a challenge to become part of an innovative team where we all struggle together for lifelong professional growth. I am incredibly determined and goal-oriented: calm, cool, collected, and curious, with strong moral values and determination. I’m a fast learner and a natural team player. I have the qualities that make for an exceptional resident, including good listening skills, attention to patient care, conscientiousness, compassion, a strong work ethic, a sense of humor, and the ability to adapt and perform under pressure.

I could not enjoy my current professional position more, anxious to get to work each day as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) at XXXX Therapies in Hobbs, NM. I work with children and their families with developmental delays from birth through three years of age. Looking forward to a long professional life doing what I do now, I hope to earn the master's degree to serve as a certified professional, working alongside other professionals providing speech and developmental therapies to reach the milestones we set for every client. No work appears nobler to me than preventing, assessing, diagnosing, and treating children's speech, language, communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders. Thus, I look forward to earning my Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology and becoming a practicing SLP professional. Committed to lifelong education, I look forward to decades of study and research ahead, but most of all, the one-on-one contact with those little ones I seek to help. XXXX University is my first choice for graduate study because of my deep admiration for your Christian-based values. Since my Christian faith has always been a prominent factor in my choice of SLP as a career, motivating me forward to excellence in this area, XXXX is the best choice. Caring for the community, healing, inspiring, and lifting are the core principles that inform my sense of the power that resides in the name of Jesus. Christianity is a vehicle of expression for a reason and a receptacle of wisdom. I also appreciate the fact that I can study online. Distance learning will be perfect for me, working late into the night to learn how to do what I do in the daytime much better, preparing me for a lifetime of experienced and highly trained excellence in SLP. I love helping children and believe very strongly that this is my calling. I have wanted to work with children since I was a teenager. When my best friend's son of 15 years was diagnosed with polymicrogyria and septo-optic dysplasia, this interest intensified. My grandfather was also diagnosed with Dysphasia two years ago while I was an undergraduate in Communicative Disorders, further heightening my curiosity and passion for this study area. Thus, earning my BS in Communicative Disorders this year, 2019, set me on my path, leaving me hungry for graduate school. At the center of my world stand children who are non-verbal, at various points on the autism spectrum, with spinal Bifida, cortical blindness, and language delays. Each child is impressive, and each brings a new professional experience replete with new challenges. I especially love how autistic children can often make breakthroughs and show tremendous emotion and compassion; nothing makes me so happy. I particularly enjoy praising them when they complete a task. While born in the USA, my Latino family retains their Spanish, and I am fluent in conversation and learning to improve my ability to write in Spanish. It is a special privilege to work with children in Spanish and English, and it pleases me that there are many Latinos in New Mexico. I am also learning ASL. So far, some of my career highlights have also been shadowing SLPs in the XXXX Municipal School system, helping children with articulation activities, non-verbal cues, and various communication strategies appropriate for their age and condition.
