My Educational Objectives in the United States - Personal Statement Example

I have taken critical steps to lay a strong foundation for my career. Currently, I am working at IMG Prishtina and Skopje offices as national support staff. My job responsibilities include the evaluation of projects undertaken by the Norwegian Embassy Civil Society Fund and other nonprofit organizations.

In the past, I have served as a volunteer with a nongovernmental organization named Camp Glow, which focuses on helping young women maximize their potential and become influential leaders in society. I graduated with a business administration degree from South Eastern European University in 2008. I was fortunate to serve as an intern at the UNDP Skopje. Immediately after graduation, I had the opportunity to work for the Macedonian Nation Electricity Distribution Company in the billing department.

The position helped me develop remarkable computational and quantitative skills. I have pursued master's courses in information systems at the University of Lund in Sweden. I have selected the United States for my master’s program because of its highly developed curriculum in leadership and management courses and the fact that the country has some of the most prestigious universities in the world. After gaining remarkable knowledge and skills from the United States, I will focus on using such knowledge to influence Macedonian society positively by transforming nonprofit organizations.

In conclusion, I am well aware that Macedonian society can benefit immensely if young people adopt modern leadership models. For this reason, I will do my best to become an exemplar for others and help nonprofit organizations adopt effective leadership styles as a measure of promoting sustainability.
