Statement Of Purpose To Study International Studies

Studying abroad will be an experience of a lifetime. Going beyond the US Coastlines that I have never crossed will get be valuable life lessons that I must learn to be successful in my future career. I want to increase my knowledge both inside and outside of the classroom, and I believe the best way to do that for me is to continue to go beyond those small town borders that have kept me

Studying abroad is important to me for a multitude of reasons. The most pressing of which is,

This letter is to express my interest in working as a Registration clerk for your institution. I believed that my related experience and education would make me the ideal candidate for this position.

It is my pleasure to have been able to write to you today. With hopes that you consider my application to further my educational pursuit.

I'm Adela Lin and I'm a first year majoring in business economics and political science. I'm not completely sure about what I want to do professionally, but I'm interested in the international relations concentration of political science. I've always enjoyed history and international relations because I felt like they taught you a lot of about what shapes a nation's character, just because one country sees something one way doesn't mean that another doesn't interpret that event completely differently from their point of view. Learning about other people's cultures and perspectives is what really interests me and I really hope to have the opportunity to travel more as I grow up. I'm doing a study abroad in France this summer and I'm super excited

Hunger is a recurrent theme in my life. Though growing up in a low income household of seven in Inglewood, California often translated hunger into a literal daily struggle for sustenance, hunger also materialized as an overwhelming desire to understand and explore the world I lived in. The loudest growling for nutrition came from my mind. Despite of limited resources at home to feed my intellectual appetite, I made due with consuming free books from the public schools I attended and from the local library. During recreational time after school and throughout summers spent at home, I was between the covers of books.

6. My advice is that while there is a lot of components that goes into applying for study abroad which can be daunting, do not let that discourage you. I strongly encourage everyone to take the opportunity and study abroad. I had such a good experience studying abroad and want people to experience that as well. Also, throughout the process, there is a lot of help available so it is not something you have to do by yourself. For the students who are trying to decide if this is something that is right for them, my advice would be to go to the study abroad office and talk to an adviser; talking to an advisor really solidified my decision to study abroad. To the students who will study abroad, my advice to be open minded and to make the best

In conclusion, I would like to say that if granted admission into your esteemed university, I

I am from a family of very low income. My father who is my primary sponsor makes $800 a month (lower than the minimum wage here in Texas). As my parents are both supporting me and my younger sister (who is also pursuing her degree in Political Science at the University of Dar-es-Salaam), it is getting harder and harder to support all of us together with themselves in that equation and as a result, my parents are in considerable debt. They are living paycheck to paycheck with no savings and it hurts me so much that I put them in this position because of my pursuit of education here. Though my little sister is working part-time and on school breaks, she still requires my parent's financial support. Being an international student here in America,

Moreover, I have found that these European universities are steeped in history and culture and this is what has defined my overall choice in applying here. Notable and

Ten years from now I hope that I have graduated and earned both my B.A in Hawaiian History and M.A in Secondary Education. Recently I was inspired to become an educator in the public school system. A classmate and educator herself told me that the public school system needs passionate and dedicated teachers to assist in educating students who do not have the same privileges as private schools. She explained that public schools need teachers who will help students strive to the best of their abilities. With fewer resources, support, and funds public schools would benefit greatly from educators who choose to teach their students through hard work and commitment. Originally I had planned to become an educator at Kamehameha Schools, the school where I graduated. The advice I was given has convinced me that by choosing this career path, I will need to work very hard and make an effort not only to earn my degree, but also fulfill the requirements of a great teacher.

International Relations is an important discipline in order to understand how the global system works. By studying International Relations, it is possible to analyze political, social and economic issues throughout the world and develop possible solutions for those issues. My aim to pursue master degree in International Relations is to enhance my current analyze and problem solution skills on international politics and international economic relations. Thus, by pursuing master degree in International Relations, I will be able to develop more sophisticated point of view towards international politics and economic effects on international politics.

“With the trend towards internationalization and globalization in the 21st century, more and more people in the global society study abroad. According to the statistics, there are likely to be over one million students and scholars studying abroad in the world at any time within recent decades” - (Graddol, 2006).

During the last few years and from the Saudi perspective, the world has become a relatively small village; Saudi Arabia has joined the WTO and international interest to invest in the Kingdom has grown significantly. Consequently, such an approach has been supported and welcomed by the Saudi government. As a high school senior, I was not oblivious to such a reality, and so upon researching various disciplines to specialize in as an undergraduate and a future professional, I found myself interested in International Business. Moreover, I became to believe, and I still do, in the importance of the field to an emerging country with a booming economy along the multiple career opportunities it presents. Therefore, upon graduating from high school, I opted to major in the field of International Business.
