Re: Please check my personal statement (motivation letter)

My strong desire to take a Business-related course in Great Britain began three years ago when I realized I was attracted to this dynamic field of logic and consistent patterns. Having a broad interest in many subject areas, I now seek to become as versatile as I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to be a logical step for my studies at your University.

My vision for the future began very early, with a background selling newspapers and other things to my
neighbours as a child. However, my real familiarization with Business came later, during summer holidays, when I worked with documentation and contracts as an assistant for a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company's success is based on being a well-run organization with smart management. I have also participated in seminars and have read books related to business so that I could have a wider viewpoint of this competitive field. Regular reading of The Economist has kept me up-to-date with all the changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign languages, such as English and German, will definitely be useful in my future career.

During my studies at the gymnasium, I obtained much new knowledge and experience. Participation in the gymnasium's academic and social life taught me to overcome challenges, to be a team player, and to adapt to any situation. This experience encouraged me to take on new challenges.

In my spare time I take part in extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar, taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also played football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania's National Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who appreciates hard work, is motivated, and enjoys creative challenges. With regards to Business, I think that these three features are the key to success.

Business studies at a British University have long been my desire. Studies at your University would certainly help to improve my language
and cooperation skills as well as guarantee interaction in a competitive atmosphere. It is no wonder why many international students prefer British Universities, since this country has the finest reputation for higher education around the world. In joining your University's community, I hope that my personality and hard work will bring some particular distinction to your institution.

Thank you for considering my application and I am looking forward to your positive reply.

Hello, I wrote this letter for international studies..I'd be very thankful if somebody could correct grammar and style in this letter. Thank you in advance :)

My strong desire to take a Business related course in Great Britain dates back about
three years ago, realizing that this dynamic field is the most attractive to me with it's
own logic and consistent pattern. Having a broad interest in many subject areas I seek to
be versatile as much as I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to
be a logical step for my initial career at your University. So what are my future visions
and intentions?

I have always wanted to earn my own money by selling newspapers and other things to my
neighbours since I was child. However, my real familiarisation with Business came later.
During my last two summer holidays I had been working with documentation and contracts as
an assistant at a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience
working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company's
success is based on it's well-run organization and smart management. I have also visited
few seminars and have read books related to business so I could have a wider viewpoint of
this compulsive field. Regular reading of The Economist keeps me up-to-date with all the
changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign
languages such as English and German will be definitely useful for my future career.

During my studies at the gymnasium I have obtained a lot of new knowledge and experience.

to work in a team, and to adapt to any situation. This experience encourages me to take

and cooperation skills as well as it would guarantee a competitive atmosphere for further
perfection.

In my spare time I take part in some extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar,
taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also
had been playing football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania's National
Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who has a strong attitude and
particularly appreciates hard work, motivation and creativity. With regards to Business,
I think that these three features are the key to success.

My Personal Statement

Sammy P — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 23:52:57 GMT

Hello! I am currently writing my personal statement for university, although I think that it still needs some work done to it. As I am going to be studying English Language at university, I figure that it's best to get the grammar and overall statement spot on. I figure that there's no better place to get advice and ideas from than here.

At 6^th form I studied Media Studies, History and Philosophy and Ethics. I achieved B grades in all three of my subjects at A-Level. This is due to my ability to meet deadlines and work in groups when it is necessary. Throughout the two years that I studied these subjects, I have become increasingly interested in the English language. My goal at university is to be able to expand my ability and understanding of English by majoring in English Language. As I may choose a career in the media, it would really benefit me to learn about the various ways English can be used day to day, and in a variety of social contexts. This also interests me greatly.

As well as teaching me English language skills, my subjects have also taught me other skills. Media Studies has helped me learn about representations and why they exist in the media, while Philosophy and Ethics has taught me a range of skills such as not to always accept what we are told and to look at the world in a different way. History has taught me why the world is like it is today and the reasons for it.

My hobbies include reading, music and computing. I read a lot of fiction novels and my favourite author is John Irving, as he writes fascinating stories in his own unique manner. Reading has definitely given me an interest in the English language. My passion for reading and music stems from my interest and enjoyment of interpreting my own meaning from both music and books. It interests me the way in which language can reveal a personâs identity and status; and this is an important factor in both music and fiction. I have always enjoyed computing, both inside and outside studies. I studied GNVQ ICT, which helped me improve my ICT skills. I try to use computers whenever I can to aid my work. I often use the internet for research and I word process whenever I can.

Over the past summer, I have had a full-time job working on a leisure park. This has helped me to work as a team, as well as giving me experience of what it is like to have a job in the workplace. In addition, this helped me build up confidence of meeting new people and improve my communication skills.

To balance my academic studies, I enjoy playing a lot of sports. I play football on a regular basis, and jog occasionally in order to maintain good physical fitness. I am a member of my local snooker club and play on a weekly basis. In addition, I am a keen course fisherman, which I also enjoy doing greatly. Furthermore, I play golf, although not at club level. I am looking forward to the opportunities the university sport clubs will offer. I am also planning to go travelling after I have completed my degree.

I believe that the time I spend at university will be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding times of my life. I realise the opportunities that a university degree will offer me, and intend to work consistently to achieve it. While academic work is obviously important, I realise that university is about meeting new people. I am definitely looking forward to and greatly anticipate this. I am a sociable person and am also looking forward to the independence that university life offers.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :-)
Thanks!

If someody had time to check my personal statement to a university, I would be really grateful for that. Thanx

Having a huge interest in computer and communication technology and in information technology in general and a tremendous will to explore this field, I have always admired complicated computer systems. These systems make our lives much easier and at the same time more interesting and challenging, and their importance in the modern world is invaluable. It is really hard to imagine our lives without computers, mobile phones or other devices, which help us to act faster, more precisely and effectively. However, these technologies are not staying the same, they are constantly evolving and becoming capable of solving wider ranges of problems and faster than before. As I am aware of the unlimited progress of computer technology in the future and a vast range of specializations this progress offers, I find the courses in computer and information technology engineering so stimulating and exciting.

During the last six years, I have been studying in the Riga State Gymnasium No.1, which is constantly ranked as the best school in Latvia because of its highly skilled teachers, completely different approach to tuition and excellent teaching quality. It specializes in mathematics, computers and physics therefore I can truly admit that I am particularly good at these subjects. Every year I have the honour of participating in various competitions and Olympiads in mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics and programming. I am proud to say that I constantly achieve high results but particularly in mathematics where I have an international award. As one of my hobbies is solving different math and physics problems, I have been studying mathematics and physics, and attended advanced courses in these subjects at the University of Latvia. Iâve also attended programming courses where I fully acquired the Pascal and C++ programming languages, object-oriented programming skills and algorithms for effective programming. Apart from English, I am also fluent in Russian and have basic conversational skills in German. All that together makes me the right person for the career in computer engineering.

In addition to academic achievements, I also have accomplishments in sports. Particularly in swimming, I have been swimming for 13 years and have some international distinctions. I also like playing football and basketball and I am glad to say that I have been a member of a football and basketball team in school. I often go hiking with friends because I love an adventurous life and so it may be said with assurance that free time activities is a large component of my life. Moreover I enjoy communicating with people and making new friends. I have taken part in several team competitions where I have proved myself a worthy, highly motivated and effective team player.

I am planning to obtain a masters degree in Computer Systems Engineering in the. Computers and their technology affect each and everyone of us. So the demand for innovative people with considerable knowledge in Computer Systems Engineering is ever growing. This is the second reason why I have chosen this profession. After some work experience I am considering a possibility of starting my own business associated with computer technologies.

The United Kingdom is the most appropriate place for me to study because of several reasons. First of all, highly respected qualifications are very important in the modern world and education is a solid foundation for my future. Secondly, the quality control standards in the UK institutions are among the best so I will acquire a high education of good quality, with the most modern standards and techniques that will be vital for me and my ambitions for the future. Finally, the UK offers great opportunities for research what makes it even more appealing to me. So in other words, there are ideal preconditions for higher education in the UK and opportunities for me to develop myself as a person.

My parents have taught me that in order to be successful, I must enjoy what I am doing. This is why I have chosen the challenging and fascinating vocation of Computer Systems Engineering and to study it in the United Kingdom.

Hi Reviver,

Your CV is about your education to date. No-one expects you to have vast work experience, and you are applying for higher education, so obviously you don't have it yet!

You don't need to say much about your primary school, except perhaps its name and how long you went there:

e.g. My Town primary School - 1990-93 - same for middle school.

When you get to the secondary school, put the dates you attended, followed by the qualifications you gained / subjects studied and your grades.

It is very important to mention all the school clubs extra-curricular activities in which you participated, including the choir, football, playing accordion etc. This comes under the heading of "Interests and Activities"

I don't know what computer programme you have, but most systems have a C.V or "resume" template, whci you may find helpful in laying out your document.

Then you need a personal statement, which is the bit in your letter "I consider myself to be ...", and then your Aims and objectives.

So:

Name, address, date of birth, nationality.

education to date

qualifications

Outside interests (internet club, football etc. Get as much down here as you can)

**personal statement / aims and objectives.

Sometimes people put this first, before the education. Look at the cv programme on your computer. I know MS Works has an entry level resume, which is what you need.
