Statment of Purpose - Personal Statement Example

ment of Purpose The life threatening diseases that prevailed in our village during my childhood, coupled with the fact that no one seemed to be able to address the problem, motivated me to want become a doctor in the future. While all the time I was wondering why there was no one treating these diseases that were paralyzing the village, I later came to learn that there was neither a qualified professional nor anyone who understood what types of diseases they were. Therefore, after my High School, I immediately enrolled for a degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences, which I had developed interest in, so that I could be able to diagnose different types of diseases.

Despite various hardships, especially in my first year which could have seen me drop from the course, I decided to struggle and pursue the course and through the effort, I graduated from King Khalid University with a bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences in 2012. In the course of my learning, I studied many fields including Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pathology, Histopathology, Microbiology, Virology, and Immunology, and was chosen as a group leader in the last two years of my course, a position I held until graduation.

I started my one year internship in a central hospital, training in twelve sections inside the lab. During the same period, I attended some medical related conferences where I gained further insights in the medical field, while also working for four months in another hospital as Lab Manager. After the internship, I obtained a scholarship from my country to continue my higher education in United State of America. Here, I have been studying English at the University of Oregon, and I would like to combine my science background and English language to pursue a higher level education in my specialization, of which I discovered that Cytopathology program is where my interest and competency are positioned, and I really believe that I will be successful in this field.

Therefore, I am seeking enrollment in Cytopathology Masters program.
