Religion Personal Statements Samples For Students

Challenges make life interesting. It is these challenges that make success a journey rather than a place we arrive at. I was born in Hong Kong, a part of the People’s Republic of China. Growing up I faced several challenges such as raising my school fees, and common adolescent problems such as trying to fit in with the rest of my peers. However, my parents have taught me never to let my challenges make me consider myself as weak or worthless. Instead they taught me that challenges are what make the world go round. Some may argue that challenges are merely ...

I challenged or questioned religion. The exposure I have had to the global dominions made me question religion. My father comes from Hindu family and my mother from Zoroastrian dominion, and I have been schooling, for the last five years, within a devout Christian school. Besides, I have had the opportunity of conversing, meeting, as well as creating relationships with individuals of many dissimilar dominions. Currently, with the social media and internet, my generation has had exposure to the world than was before. Such exposure prompts anyone to question, as well as learns the world critically, and not takes issues ...

One way to answer this question is to think about what I can lose if I decide not to go to ABC. What if in such a way I will miss the opportunity of a lifetime? Attending ABC has many advantages that I am not even aware of, such as a godly perspective on how I can grow socially, spiritually, and scholastically with the help of the institution.

In my opinion, when choosing a school, it is very important to take into account its social atmosphere and sense of community. For me I decided that I would like to go to a school where ...

My interest in Urban Studies started through a combination of experiences as a child and working adult. I grew up in South Korea in a Christian family and followed commandments from the Bible that were mentioned throughout my childhood. However, in the 11th grade my English teacher, Ms. Case, had Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Reasoning posted on the board and I read it every class session. It gave me a different non-religious prospective regarding right and wrong behavior. At that time, I was at Stage Four: “Maintaining the Social Order”; but knew that I wanted to move to Level 3, Stage ...

Indeed, every single endeavour has its own timing. On the other hand, I have faith that quality is better than quantity. With these as the main driving factors in my life, I have no doubt that this is the best season to realize my long term dream of pursuing degree program in dentistry. Since I was a child, I keenly observed how most people took less or no time in observing oral hygiene. Moreover, the desire to give back to my community has always crossed my mind time and again. The knowledge that most people do not ...

1. Please explain your interest in sending your son/daughter to Greenhill School.
Generally, Joyce is doing very well in the current school. However, I feel the overall environment in public school does not motivate kids to compete. I think we need to prepare kids to be more competitive in this global economy. I think a prestige school like Greenhill School can provide more challenges to her academically. I feel that Greenhill will give my daughter opportunities that would not have been available of receiving if he had attended a public school. Because I understand that private schools like Greenhill School ...

I am very fortunate to be an undergraduate student of English at the University of Dammam, in Saudi Arabia. During my studies, I discovered that I am passionate about literature in general and English literature in particular. I believe that English literature possesses an overwhelming power; it has the ability to entertain as well as challenge the reader to appreciate a deeper understanding of the world. One of the great novels that had a huge impact on me was Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Reflective of Victorian times, the various themes inspired me to question conventional wisdom regarding the independence of ...

My academic specialization is fuzzy logic, which isn’t logic that is fuzzy, but a worldview and method of thinking which is capable of coping with the world’s diversity. Traditional bivalent thinking, the belief that a proposition has only one truth value is, according to philosopher Mario Bunge, “primitive and inconsistent with how the social world is organized” (Winter, 2014). Most social phenomenon, including teaching, is not black and white, true or false, but full of interesting grey variables. I experience this when I’m teaching, because every student is different. My personal educational philosophy revolves around inclusion, and this ...

Since childhood, I have always kept abreast with major developments across the world. However, I had a bias for topics in relation to human rights, especially topics related to the underprivileged in the society at large. The desire to champion for the rights of the underprivileged is one of the primary reasons I decided to pursue law. My pursuit of law is not only an economic endeavour but also a spiritual endeavour. I believe an LLM will heighten my participation and professional impact on the world. I am motivated and highly focused on obtaining an LLM.

My interest in accounting dates back to the time I was in elementary school. I was a straight A student in mathematics from first grade to fourth grade. At the beginning of second grade, I bumped into Mark, who lived with his family a few meters from our house. It was not long before an impregnable friendship blossomed between the two of us. The friendship grew so strong that we used to spend the whole weekend together, either at Marks family house or our house. On one weekend, Marks father, an accountant, was home. I admired the fact that Marks father was ...
