Allow me to introduce myself as Raj, from Chandigarh, India having applied for admission in Langara College, Canada. Since my parents came from a modest financial background, it was my maternal grandmother who supported my education throughout. I have successfully completed my Matriculation from ICSE Board in March 2010 and Senior Secondary in Commerce stream from CBSE Board in March, 2013.
Going further in my pursuit of higher studies, having done a fair bit of research on various career options, I believe a Bachelor’s degree from Canada would really give me a platform to project my career further. Being always interested in the Business trade, and completing my XII in Commerce stream I believe a Bachelor’s Degree in Business would take me a step closer towards realization of bigger goal of developing a palpable business and entrepreneurial vision.
Despite being thorough with my academics, I firmly believe sports and extra curricula activities do play an integral part in an individual’s life. There’s so much one could inculcate in daily life from such activities like Teamwork, Time Management, etc. The fact that I have won 10 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 3 bronze medals (running category) in athletics in my elementary school highlights my passion for sports. In grade V, I was awarded with Football scholarship from St. Stephen’s School, Chandigarh is one the leading & reputed school of the city & that also covered my entire education expenses for 5 years. Besides, I was awarded another Football scholarship in my High School year at New Public School, Chandigarh. Although, I have represented Chandigarh at state level many a times, my biggest achievement was representing India at Manchester United Premier Cup 2008 in Malaysia.
After a lot of brainstorming, I took admission in Langara College for the program Associate of Arts-Commerce & Business Studies. Research has demonstrated that students transferring with an Associate Degree perform better at the receiving institution than students transferring at an earlier completion level, and are at par with students who were solely resident at that degree granting receiving institution. Therefore I preferred to be in an Associate Program & further transfer the credits to University of British Columbia. After completing this Program, I intend to do my Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of British Columbia at Canada.
Langara College has a very high rate of successful transfer of students with Commerce & business to University of British Columbia. My course Associate of Arts - Commerce & Business Studies program comprises of courses like Principle of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Financial Accounting, Auditing and Assurance, Business Communication, Introduction to Marketing and few more.
Having been graduated from one of the best universities of Canada will be the high point in my life. After completing my graduation from the university, I see myself equipped to work as an Accountant, Controller/Manager, Auditor, Analyst, Tax Specialist, etc with a multi-national organization.
I have scored an overall 7.5 bands in my IELTS. I hope I have been able to justify my candidature for higher education in University of British Columbia. I sincerely hope the Visa Authority finds my application worth the approval.
Thanks
Raj

I wasn’t terribly sure what I wanted to do with my life, nor did I have any idea how to get where I thought I wanted to be. My relative lack of passion wasn’t seen as a deterrent in my affluent Texas town, though, as it was a place where nearly all high school students went on to college—it was the only option we really considered or that was presented to us by our families, teachers, and counselors as a post-graduation plan. So I began the requisite search by looking first at nontraditional college environments, for while I had done reasonably well at my large and impersonal public high school, nor had I flourished either. It seemed to me that if I was going to spend the next four years of my life in school, I might as well try a different tactic than the one that had allowed me to coast rather unremarkably through high school.…

My pursuit of physical therapy as a profession comes from my interest in healing the human body. Originally inspired by my grandfather, it has been my profession of choice for as long as i can remember; From a young child observing my grandfather unable to be mobile without the use of a cane, to my teenage years when I learned about the dynamics of the human body, to even more recently, after the excision of an osteochondroma on my femur during my time spent in the care of a physical therapist. <---RUN ON SENTENCE, ADJUST IT These humbling experiences have helped solidify my passion for physical therapy.…

Before, the connotation that peace and diplomatic affairs should only be handled by world leaders and diplomats are very strong. However, as I was studying the different nursing and health concepts during my university years, realization dawned on me that health care professionals can also play a major part in peace-making, peacekeeping and peace building efforts. This belief was strengthened when I read “Peace through Health” by Arya and Santa Barbara. Given extensive and intensive training in diplomacy, mediation and conflict resolution, health workers can have unique opportunities for diplomatic work. Furthermore, I believe health care workers doing peace work can break barriers since the subject of health itself transcends individual goals even between parties divided by violence. Health according to WHO is one of the key components of human security which we all want to achieve. An adequate and equitable health care system gives humans security and this actually encourages peace. In my country, a long standing conflict between the government and rebels have caused so much mortalities and morbidities and not all are direct effects of violence. I wish to channel my efforts on lessening the peace deficits on these troubled parts of my country by leading them through health programs.…

I am presently a Senior Undergraduate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan. I am applying for the Master’s program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. The transition from being an undergraduate to being part of a research team has been a significant paradigm shift, something that I’ve come to appreciate. With this new perspective, I believe the decision to apply for a Master’s degree is appropriate to further my interests for a career in research. In particular, I want to work in the broad field of Control Systems and Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). My interest in machines encouraged me to take up Science in high school.In the 12th grade, I designed a special bicycle which could move a short distance without having to pedal when a certain amount of force was applied to the center of gravity of the seat- the center of gravity of the bicycle. The idea won the 1st Prize in the annual Inter-School Science-Talent Competition. In 2006, I first visited Dayeh University in Taiwan, where my mother is a professor. Here I came across some interesting automotive projects in the ME department. I worked under Prof. C.C.Liang on his research aiming to design the smallest beach car in the world over the same summer. Later, even with certain practical issues like me being the only foreign student in an all Chinese class, I decided to apply for my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and learned Chinese as well in the process. Eventually I was admitted by Prof. Liang in the Impact Dynamics Lab. For the first two years I held Department Rank 1 and was offered a full scholarship for the same. The coming Fall, I transferred to National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT), one of the best technological institutions in Taiwan. I was the first student to be admitted in the 3rd year (as transfers could be made only in the 2nd year, as per the university policy). Here I came across excellent…

My academic potentials needed to be grown further so I decided to have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Finance. My first option could have been my native country, Pakistan but as the system of education in Pakistan stresses more on cramming (preventing students to have their free thoughts) as compared to grasping or understanding, so choosing FIC (Canada) will allow me to understand the concepts on a wider range. Moreover, I belong to a strong financial family so this has allowed me to study in Canada to fulfill my dreams.…

Since my early days at school, I used to be very fascinated with the world of science. While children of my age watched cartoons on cartoon network, I used to watch national geographic programs. Anything that aroused curiosity would attract my attention, be it an investigation about a plane crash or explanations of some basic science facts. Naturally, with time, I started inclining more and more towards subjects such as science and mathematics. Almost all my student life, I have been, in some way or other, affiliated to activities that included inquisition and learning new concepts and skills.…

I was lucky enough to have computers in my household during my childhood days. Being born in a middle-class family (in a third-world country), having a computer at home was incredible! Only a very few people could afford, or more importantly use computers in my country. I remember those big black-and-white monitors and 5 inch floppy disks, when the only operating system that was popular was MS-DOS. My uncle was studying Computer Science in the early 90s, the time I had been born. He opened up a small IT institution in the ground floor of our building, and set his career as a teacher. So naturally, I picked up a lot about computers from my uncle every since I was a kid. By the time I was 11, I could help grown-up students in my uncle’s institution with their computer lessons. I was loved and praised to have such talents at such an early age. By the time I was in mid-school and onwards, my friends were always fighting over each other to make me their computer lab partner. Because I always scored the highest marks in tests and projects, and I had a lot of fun in acing them.…
