Personal Statement Of Purpose For Travel And Tourism

Throughout my childhood and up into my middle school years, I had a solid plan for my life: to be an air traffic controller. It seemed like the perfect career for me. I am a highly organized and alert person. I like structure and to have control over the situations that surround me. And, most importantly, I find great satisfaction in helping others to meet their objectives and safely land at their desired destination. Air traffic control was the only career for me. I had my whole life planned out, including the exact airport where I would work. No one or nothing could sway me from the goals that I had set for myself.

From an early age, I had the desire to give back to my community. This desire was likely instilled in me by my mother, who as a school teacher, went to great lengths to help her students achieve academically. To better do this, she created at Tupelo Middle School in Mississippi, the Mermaids and Argonauts Program, which allowed students to travel on extended school trips to locations where they were able to have hands-on experiences at zoos, science labs, colleges, museums, and more across the country. As her child, I was able to tag along on many of these trips, which fueled my desire to learn about and interact with my environment. It left me with the great hope that someday I would be able to have such experiences abroad, in order to better learn about the people and cultures with which I interact. For this reason, I hope to study abroad this summer in Pachuca, Mexico.

One person who has inspired my career choice of culinary arts who is famous is Ina Garten. Although there are many other great chefs to look up to, Ina Garten has inspired me the most. Culinary arts provide many career opportunities in the food service industry.

The pay was great, the traveling seemed adventurous, and the thought that I would be able to meet new people from all around the world was very intriguing. However, finding the time to apply for this job or to even meet the criteria required seemed very daunting to me. So I continued on with my hotel work, after all my manager says that my work efforts have surpassed even the best of my colleagues and he mentioned a promotion awaiting me just around the corner. The thought of becoming an airlines stewardess has been one that I have had for a very long time; this dream was inspired from various magazines and even soap operas that I had watched on the television set. The job was painted perfectly, every actor I saw portray the job made me more and more interested. For me this dream was an opportunity to live the life that I had always envisioned

Because I studied in Nigeria and in America, I am able to see the world from different perspectives. As a young child, my curiosity led to my acquisition of wisdom and understanding. As time went on, my friends caught on, and they began to confide in me with their problems because I could listen and give good advice. This ultimately helped me develop leadership skills. Each time I was made a leader in an association, people always commended me because I made sure I had effective communication with everyone, which prevented uncertainties.

From the early days of my life, I set goals beyond those of my peers. I did my bachelors in one of the top public schools in Afghanistan and graduated with a remarkable GPA. I was interested in both managing and teaching at the academic institutions. In order to use my time effectively and pursue my ambition, I decided to get a diploma in business administration while doing my bachelor’s and to enhance my understanding of management. After getting my bachelor’s degree, I decided to challenge myself and pursue a master’s degree in applied linguistics in the U.S. Therefore, I applied to get a Fulbright scholarship which is the most elite scholarships in the world. A total of 4000 participants applied from all over the Afghanistan in 2011. It seemed almost impossible to get the scholarship among thousands of participants; after several interviews, TOEFL tests and GRE, they have selected only the top 40 students and I was one of them.

It is my aspiration to develop software and products that meets the needs of those who use them. When you take a look at the makeup of the tech industry professionals, it is common knowledge that there is a substantial gap in terms of gender and race. As a result, the products and applications created for social, business, or personal purposes created with a male Eurocentric type mindset. One basic idea of creating user products is making sure the product itself represents and attests to the needs of people. When the group creating products shows lack of diversity in identity, this can neglect to meet underlying needs or wants of different groups of people.

Upon completion of my undergraduate degree in Aviation Management, I will pursue a career with a major airline. Not only will I realize a life long dream but also it will be a personal accomplishment in an academic road that was often complicated. Ideals may change, values do not and some things just take a little more time to achieve.

I know being successful in this course is important because the information taught will help me in achieving my career goals.
