George Mason University Personal Statement

Life is full of ups and downs, but it certainly is filled with opportunities that, if availed correctly, take one to higher level of success. This statement always gives me strength to face challenges. Being an immigrant from an underprivileged area, moving to U.S was one of the biggest opportunities that life gave me, and I have always tried to do justice to it by keeping my goals high and by working hard towards achieving academic success. One of the biggest goals of my life is to earn a bachelor’s degree in accounting from a renowned institution, and then take the CPA examinations. That is the reason I wish to transfer to George Mason University.
I moved to the U.S in December 2012 with the commitment to myself that I would work with full dedication and sincerity to achieve my goal of getting higher
education. After moving to U.S I enrolled myself in Montgomery College as a first small step towards my big dream goal. Montgomery College introduced me to the American education system that was a bit challenging to me. Initially, I had to spend a great amount of time in libraries and helping centers. Even though I was overwhelmed by the extra efforts, my hard work finally paid off when I achieved ‘Dean’s List’ standing in my first semester. It was a moment of relief for me because I knew that my hard work was becoming my small but, solid step to make my dream a reality.
Although I have learnt a lot from the Community College, I know that this is not the end of my academic journey.
I want to transfer to George Mason University to chase my dream of earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting from a renowned institution. The diversity of the University, the dedicated faculty and the thousands of success stories of the students is what that attracts me the most. Enrollment in George Mason University would be a big accomplishment for me, and I have full confidence that being a part of this University will lead me towards millions of opportunities of academic success in the future.
Institutions like George Mason not only encourage students in achieving their goals, but also make them ready to meet the demands of the market after earning the degree. I’m confident that if I get accepted in George Mason, I would have the knowledge, tricks, and power to make my own space in the job market in addition to a bachelor’s degree from one of the best universities. The quality education that George Mason provides is what makes their students different from the rest, and in the future I wish to see myself as a graduate from this eminent
institution.
