Personal Statement
I believe that education is the prime catalyst for the development and improvement of humanity. Education has been responsible for all the innovations and growth areas in humanity over our years of evolution. For this reason, the doctoral program I am seeking will help me build up my experience and enhance my knowledge. With the tools I gain in this way, I can then go into the world and effect the changes I perceive as necessary to make life and the world better for humanity as a whole. I believe that Pepperdine University has one of the best programs I can desire to fulfill my current educational and future professional needs.
My current background constitutes an MBA, along with six years of experience in administration work. My field of work was a private university, where I learned the many intricate details of business administration for this specific environment. Specifically, I spent six years working at a leading university in Saudi Arabia. I worked in two departments, including Marketing and Students' Life. My work here involved establishing new events, clubs and...
To do this effectively, I needed a large amount of passion and skill in order to start new trends and ideas that would be appealing to the students within that environment. Working with the students gave me an opportunity to show them I believed in them. This was a powerful motivator and catalyst to help them establish changes they needed to make in order to become successful. Because I was able to connect with the students in this way, and also because of the skill and passion I was able to display, the university gained a higher level reputation in the areas of events and activities. I take great pride in my accomplishments, but also understand that this could not have been possible without teamwork and without input from the students themselves.
The experience I gained during my time of work at the university, as outlined above, has prepared me to take this new step in my education. I believe that I am now ready for a higher level of education. This, in turn, will allow me to become a catalyst for necessary change in society and the future.
I supplemented my work at the university by studying a masters degree. Working on these studies, even while I was gaining experience in the same field at the university, offered a maginificent opportunity to gain practical experience even while familiarizing myself with the various theoretical bases of my work. In other words, I was…
Personal Statement During my 4-year period as a college student, I studied Marketing and in my second year, I decided to discontinue the course in favor of Information Systems. The information industry is becoming more prominent in the running of most businesses and corporations and is becoming the source of solutions to most information management issues. In this regard, a personal computer is necessary for business as well as domestic usage
Personal Philosophy of Education Describe the resulting curriculum planning process. My philosophy as a realist / experimentalist (leaning more towards experimentalist) is that students need to critically examine historical events in context (why did certain important events happen and was the result what was expected?); they need to understand (although they don't have to agree with) contemporary social values (some of which are not rational) and how to reconcile their future place
Personal Statement What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the field developed and describe any experience you have had in the field - such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities - and what you have gained from your involvement. My planned major is Sociology. My interest in this field stems from my own life's challenges such as being brought to the United States
My time playing professional baseball provided some unique experiences and great memories. I would not trade those for anything. But I have decided to end that journey in the interest of education, which for me has all the potential to be a richer, more fulfilling endeavor. What prompted my interest in attending graduate school there was that I got my undergraduate degree at your institution, an accomplishment of which I
Personal Statement Marcy, a sixth grader with large brown eyes, blonde hair, and severe behavioral problems, stared up at me as her fingers fondled the puzzle pieces. The intensity of her gaze took me aback; I imagined what brimmed inside her little brain. I had worked as a special education instructional assistant for several months before I started working with Marcy. My supervisor spent a full hour explaining Marcy's background to
Personal Statement Programme: Masters in Science Degree in Media, Communication and Development I have always known that I'm an extrovert. In addition to finding it easy to start (and maintain) conversations with people, I have a flair for teamwork and team effort. This is perhaps the root of my passion for behavioral sciences. It is also on the basis of this that I would like to pursue a career that perfectly aligns
