¶ … applying to your university to complete a degree in dentistry. I am Serbian by birth, and was raised in Romania, a neighboring country of the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia. I have been in the United States since 1999, working as a dental assistant. I attended university in Romania in 1994, and graduated in 1999 with a degree in psychology. The study of the human mind has always interested me, and I have always hoped to better myself through learning. I enjoy learning about languages and culture, and learning new things. I am fluent in Serbian, Romanian, and English, and I am familiar with German and Russian. A few of my other and varied interests are drawing, making all kinds of miniatures from wax, studying history, dancing, reading a good book, and enjoying the company of great friends. When it comes to personality, I have been told I am unique and that I have a great sense of humor. I feel this will help me in my career and in my studies. Since I have an education in more than one area, I feel I think critically, behave wisely, carry my intelligence quietly, and am proud of who I have become.
I would like to study at your university for a variety of reasons. I am quite interested in the dental profession, and have worked in the profession for six years. I know the reputation of your university, and I feel that I could learn the dental profession better at your university than in any other school. I also bring experience and a joy of learning with me, and I feel I would fit in well with the student body, and add diversity to your institution. My grasp of languages could help me interact and help other international students, and I feel I could further my career while helping others while attending the school. Your dental school is well-known, and I would be proud to complete my degree at your institution. I hope you will see fit to admit me to your dental school and allow me to make my dreams of a dental career come true.
A bring six years of experience with me to my studies, which I feel will help me in my goals and in my ultimate career. Soon after I started school in 1994, I married into a Greek family and settled down for nine years. My husband, a successful dentist, had a big influence on my choice of dentistry as a career. I showed a lot of interest in his work, and he acknowledged I would be a very talented dentist if I chose to pursue the career. I felt utterly drowned in the profession when I began working for him as a dental assistant. However, in the six years I worked for him, I learned so much about dentistry, and it was then that I too realized I thoroughly enjoyed it and would be quite good at it. This is why I hope to continue my education and become a dentist. I love the work, and I seem to have an inclination for it.
