On this trip I learned about poverty but also how education can provide the training students need to succeed on their own. Two years ago, I studied in London and experienced a new world through international relations classes, being the only American in a group of mainly non-Europeans, and traveling to Western and Eastern Europe. These and other experiences have confirmed my desire to work for an international Non- Governmental Organization promoting literacy, conflict resolution, and humanitarianism. In order to achieve this goal, I am applying to attend the London School of Economics for a masters degree in International Relations. As a University student, I have pursued training in education, history, and international relations in America and abroad, with Americans and international students. I will be certified to teach at the end of January and education will always be part of my professional passion because of the change I have seen it make in peoples lives. For example, education has changed my way of thinking. When I began studying in London I always planned on teaching in America, but now I has goals of teaching abroad and working in non-traditional classrooms. After teaching on the Indian Reservation and studying abroad, I sought other teaching and international experiences that include teaching at a private Korean School in my community, tutoring international and American students, and teaching at the secondary level in the greater Milwaukee, WI area. As a student mentor, I worked with international University students to help them improve their English, adjust to change, and succeed academically and socially in an American university. My training in education has helped me develop and understand the practice and importance of learning in history and international relations. While in London, I studied Latin America during the Cold War and wrote my undergraduate thesis on the coup in Guatemala in 1954. With this knowledge and a subsequent course on genocide and global justice, my attention changed to humanitarian crises where I believe literacy programs empower people, even in times of crisis, to seek constructive change in their communities and cultures. My diverse, liberal arts education provided me with practical education training, theoretical training from international relations, and understanding through historical context. I have developed skills in both fields so I can teach classes or individuals and research and analyze information. Throughout my undergraduate career I worked at least 2 jobs, remained in the tops 10% of my class, and volunteered as a mentor and tutor. In short, I understand how I function in multiple classroom settings, have learned to motivate myself and others, and value both hard work and service to others. This proven commitment to personal achievement and to my community will help me succeed at LSE in the future. At my teaching internship, my cooperating teacher constantly reminds the students to ask two questions as they study the world: “Whats in it for me? And what about the human?” My own answers to these questions are intertwined: my own educational and professional goals require a solid education in order to demonstrate the compassion and commitment that I have for “the human.” I have worked hard in the past and will continue to while I meet new people, create memorable experiences, and remember the human. 国际关系专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 5 奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启用 爱词霸 即划即译 关闭 放大 定位 on 翻译 Loading网络词典 Loading相关例句 Loading 皮肤 牛津专业版优惠价! 牛津新词典 即划即译已启用 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 3 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启 History has always been a strong interest of mine and whilst I was at school I took it upon myself to expand my interests by taking both a history and ancient history timetable whenever available to me. The subject appealed to me because I was always so involved with understanding why wars and conflicts occurred, and how countries interacted with each other as a result of particular events. Whilst studying history I found the politics side of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to be incredibly interesting as the subject went into depth on how both Hitler and Stalin took control of their people and governments to obtain absolute power within their countries as well as international recognition for their actions. The Greek wars were taught to me through my ancient history classes and I was deeply involved with the rivalry between Athens and Sparta which followed the Persian invasion of Greece due to the changing nature of military conflict. I have always been fascinated with the changing world by which we live and current affairs and during my early teenage years I subscribed to TIME magazine as I found it to be extremely interesting as it reported on up-to-date political events, specifically on areas pertaining to war and conflict, and I would spend a lot of my time following up on events included within the magazine to discover more information on the topic. It is through the emergence of of the perceived post-9/11 terror threat that has given me the desire to analyze the political stance both domestically and globally. I would like to deepen my understanding of the wars in the Middle East and the evolving war on terrorism particularly after reading Phillip Bobbitts latest book Terror and Consent of which Bobbitt makes clear the root of terrorism spurs from Americas global dominance, and synthesizes history, law and military strategy to present concepts and ideas such as the introduction of the market state, to help prepare the globe for what could be a decades-long conflict with terrorist groups. My secondary interest lies in Americas declining relationship with other nations and more specifically with Russia since its invasion of Georgia. My final school year allowed me to research into possible candidates to become the next super powers after the United States, because as history has discovered - all great empires fall sometime. I believe that my passion for international relations and politics stems from my life story. Originally born in Britain I moved to Western Australia when I was 10 years old, so, unlike many, I have had the opportunity to live and learn in countries located in opposite regions of the world. As a result of living in the most isolated city on the planet, I have seen the world from a different perspective and have witnessed peoples views on Britain, and Europe in general, from a country not located in that region, which will give me an advantage whilst studying in the U.K as I will have the knowledge of outsider opinions and perspectives. Living in such an isolated part of the world has also given me a hunger to discover and understand what is happening across the globe. Traveling has also been a large part of my life and I have visited many countries, discovering the ways in which different populations live and interact and to therefore be more open minded when discussing culture and traditions. I find it genuinely interesting how international politics affects mass populations of people through different ways and how outside countries view each other. After graduation I intend to work in a career dealing with international security so that I may protect my country from terrorism and/or foreign threats. I accept and embrace change, therefore I would be a key asset to any employer as I will always be willing to learn and discover new things, which I believe is necessary when chasing such an important and up to date career pathway. Other than studying I enjoy socializing and the nightlife. I like to keep myself fit by going to the gym, boxing and kickboxing and of course I enjoy watching these sports as much as participating in them. 国际关系专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 4 奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启用 爱词霸 即划即译 关闭 放大 定位 on 翻译 Loading网络词典 Loading相关例句 Loading 皮肤 牛津专业版优惠价! 牛津新词典 即划即译已启用 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 3 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启 The internet has made international politics much more accessible to a wider audience. I for one, through a myriad of internet mediums such as blogging, visiting forums as well as reading magazines such as “The Economist“ and “Prospect“ have expanded the scope of my knowledge especially in the field of international political issues. The irony is that many people are not at all interested in this cacophony of political information. My interest in international politics has also stemmed from my ethnic background. I was born in Ghana and issues such as corruption and poverty are very apparent. The dishonest nature of many politicians make it difficult for democracy to be attained; common cases include police officers getting bribes from criminals and politicians obtaining money for their personal gain. A current issue that comes to mind is the local military threats coming out of the opposition party (National Democratic Congress) in the upcoming Presidential elections in Ghana, as a result of the recent oil discovery which is expected to generate a lot of revenue. Its unfortunate that the issue of sleaze is a unique feature in global politics. My interest in politics is apparent in my A level courses. Although the study of Sociology and Politics seem fairly different, a close examination of both subjects provides interesting analysis. Most politicians for instance try to paint a picture of a unified society however in Sociology; Marxists would argue that as long as ethnicity, religion and social class are a factor in the modern world, conflicts are inevitable. Studying sociology has broadened my knowledge on international affairs as it deals with social relations, which in a broad perspective can be viewed as the relations between the western society and the eastern society and also the relationships between international allies. Moreover, I am now aware and can identify the effects these relationships have, not only in Society as a whole but on individuals. Studying sociology made me realise that political issues operates within the nature of society because the political systems can be used in the interest of the powerful, but on the contrary can also be effective in protecting the powerless. Studying English Literature has been beneficial because it has taught me how to express my ideas, which is particularly important when debating on political issues. English has been a fascinating topic because it enables the reader to question the motives of a character, and in poetry the reader questions the real theme the poet is trying to depict, through their often obscure style of writing. Its true when they say that change starts from the bottom-up and not the top down as claimed by US presidential nominee Barack Obama. As a volunteer for the British Red Cross, I have seen the impact a small group of committed citizens can have in eradicating issues that affect us domestically as well as internationally, for example, knife crime in the urban neighbourhoods in London and the detrimental effects the war in Sierra Leone has had. In 2006, I took part in an event with a team called TRUCE (To Reach Urban Communities Everywhere). Our aim was to go into the urban communities in London to talk about the impact of carrying weapons. I have enhanced my leadership skills during my role as a student ambassador and a member of the student council. My communication skills were further enhanced during my Duke of Edinburgh silver award excursion, where I was involved in many group activities. I believe I have the study skills, determination and enthusiasm to be a successful undergraduate at your institution. 国际关系专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 3 奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启用 爱词霸 即划即译 关闭 放大 定位 on 翻译 Loading网络词典 Loading相关例句 Loading 皮肤 牛津专业版优惠价! 牛津新词典 即划即译已启用 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 3 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启 I was born in Belgium, and I have a Belgian passport, however strangely enough I only lived there for the first ten days of my life. I have lived abroad for 18 years of my life, of which 16 of those years were in Asia. Growing up in Asia has exposed me to different cultures, religious, and societies, and my interest in International Relations as grown increasingly over the past few years. My passion for studying politics, international relations, sociology, and law grew simultaneously as I grew up myself. I have been exposed to different cultures all my life, and our ever changing world has made me want to pursue these subjects in University. When I was a ten day old baby, my parents, sister and I moved to London, United Kingdom. After spending the first 2 years of my life there my fathers company transferred us to Seoul, South Korea in 1993. This was our very first post in Asia, and little did we know that it would defiantly not be the last. Attending Seoul Foreign British School for two and a half years, our Korean adventure ended when we moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. Attending the British International School of Jakarta for five years, living in Jakarta from the age five to ten I was exposed to poverty and Muslim culture which opened my eyes at a very young age. It was living in Indonesia that I realized the economic and social issues that a corrupt government entailed. My awareness grew even more when I moved to Shanghai, China for five years. Even though we lived there as Chinas economy was rapidly changing, the over population and poverty of China caught my attention once again. Even at a young age, I realized that not everyone has the same privileges and rights. We moved back to Seoul 12 years after we left Korea, and attended Seoul Foreign School, which is where I will be graduating High School in June, 2009. Changing environment, school, houses, and friends every couple of years is a challenge however I would not have wanted it any different. I feel very privileged to have lived in so many different countries, as I have lived in and traveled to countless countries and seen the good and bad. Over the years, I have experienced different societies, thus sociology is a course that I am interested in because I am keen to learn more about the way societies are made. Human Rights has also always interested me as I have always been passionate about the equality of rights, and I believe law is a good preparation for such a field. Now that I have a chance to go to University, I want to study subjects such as Politics, Law, and Sociology, and my life so far has prepared me greatly for these subjects. I believe my personal attributes qualify me greatly for attending your university. Not only do I have a mature personality because of my exposure to current affairs, I am also a mature student, as I am currently following the International Baccalaureate Program. Additionally, I am a keen linguist. Being born into a Belgian family but raised internationally has made me bilingual in English and Flemish. I speak Flemish at home, however have gone to English speaking schools my whole life. I learnt the basics of Indonesian at a young age, and took Chinese lessons for two years in Shanghai. As French is also a national language of Belgium, I am currently following IB French at the Standard Level. In my second year of High School I achieved the Academic Excellence Award for French. In addition to my language skills, my hobbies are sports. I started playing tennis when I was about seven years old, and I have participated in Varsity Tennis for four years. In my final year at Seoul Foreign School I was captain of the team. I also play soccer and have been part of the team for three years. As an athlete, I have received several awards. For the past two years I was awarded medals for my tennis performances, and have been champion for soccer twice in the Asia Pacific Activities Conference, a sports league of which Seoul Foreign School is a part of. Being on sports teams, I have become a great sportsman and a leader, and I work well with other people. I am also a developed musician, as I played the flute in my schools band in Shanghai American School for four and a half years. I also played the piano intermittently for about seven years. Throughout high school, I have taken an International Relations course as well as European History at the IB Higher Level. These courses have taught me how to assess and evaluate the cause and effect of events, in addition to the fact that I have successfully learnt how to analyze and interpret readings and sources, a skill I believe is important for studying not only Politics and International Relations, but also Law and Sociology. The subject area of which I have read the most books about is that of the Holocaust. My passion for the Jewish Holocaust triggered when I had no other books to read than “The Diary of Anne Frank”. Being a European, I have such great passion for this subject as it is one of the key factors that have sparked my interest towards history and international relations. In terms of sociology, I am fascinated by the way societies work, and why certain societies are they way they are. Overall, I believe I am an excellent applicant for studying at your university not only because of my academic achievements, but also because of my background. I am internationally aware, and will be an asset to your course. I posses sincere interest in your course, and I am committed and hardworking, and look forward to possibly attending your university. 国际关系专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 2 奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启用 爱词霸 即划即译 关闭 放大 定位 on 翻译 Loading网络词典 Loading相关例句 Loading 皮肤 牛津专业版优惠价! 牛津新词典 即划即译已启用 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文模板 - 3 经济学专业个人陈述（PS）范文奖学金信息网 大 中 小 划词翻译已启 Through studying international relations and
