Of Purpose - Personal Statement Example

ment of Purpose Explaining the breakfast menu to the waiter in Italy was one of the most challenging experiences in my life and a memorable one as well. Not knowing the French language left me to explain what I wanted in the form of gestures and pointing towards the menu card. Different form of egg and steak was required and it took about 10 minutes to explain it to the waiter. Learning languages was my passion and I realized its importance when dealing with the waiter. This incident was my first motive in gaining a degree in the field of linguists.

Having a command on linguistics can prove to be highly convenient when traveling around the world. All the experiences in Italy are memorable for me especially the ones in which there were communication gaps and barriers because these incidents allowed me to learn linguists from a different perspective. My motivation and interest level to pursue a career in linguist was high after my trip to Italy. Though my native language is Arabic, I have had a strong passion of learning other language. I even bought a French book in my college days to try learning some words of this language.

I am always looking forward to take up challenges in life, learning and communicating in a new language is a very big challenge and achievement in my perspective as by learning the language one even gets to learn the culture of the language. By learning new languages, many glimpses of the foreign culture are reflected. After attaining the degree of English language from King Khaled University, I planned to pursue my career in Linguistics and hence I started researching universities. I also started discussing in with my friends and peers.

Indiana State University came at the top most position after my primary and secondary research and I am really impressed with the achievements of this university. A cherry on top of my plans was the attainment of scholarship from the Ministry of Education Saudi Arabia. I could envision my dreams to be on the right path of attaining success. Indiana State University has produces successful linguist graduates that are working at good positions, fulfilling their job roles and enjoying their designation of a language translator or teacher.

The university promotes research projects and this one of my major interests in applying to a university that promotes research in linguistic studies. I am excited about getting an admission in the Indiana State University as this university has a good reputation and a highly qualifies staff that teaches linguistic studies in a practical manner. My entire educational career path ahead is going to revolve around linguistic studies and hence I want to attend the best universities to develop a good academic career.

My goals are to develop good teaching skills, communicate easily in foreign languages, take up a career in teaching foreign languages such as German and French. I strongly believe that Indiana State University will help me accomplish my goals in a highly successful manner.
