Nomination Form: Study of the U.S. Institute for Student Leaders Summer 2007
Q-Please attach a personal statement (no more than one page) that outlines why you would
like to participate in this program. Indicate why you feel this program would be useful in
your future career path and in your current capacity as a student leader.
A-The first reason why I would like to participate in this program is that I want to broaden my horizons by learning the culture of another country. The fact that the country in question is the United States makes it easier for me to enjoy this program, because my field in university, Linguistics, necessitates that I be in an English-speaking country at least once in order to grasp the language better.
The second one is that I have a leader spirit within me. I have liked to lead my friends, parents and other people since I was little. My friends say that they like my leadership, since I lead them to where they really want. Therefore, some of my friends told me that I would do quite well in this program. They are right, I trust myself that I would represent Turkey in the United States well and become a good student leader. I also think that I will make good friends in the United States. 03/03/2007
