Scholarship / A passionate young man that always want to help people. Self-introduction KGSP - biotechnology [14]

I have the zeal, commitment and dedication

I was born on 1st October 1990 into considering middle classs family, unfortunately my father passed away when I was just four (4) years old. My mother began to struggle for survival and to send us to school as she always wanted us to be part of a great place of learning. Therefore I began my primary school at early age in LEA Makera Model Primary school after which I successfully passed the common entrance and proceeded to secondary school in the year 2003. As someone who is fascinated by science I began to read science related researched articles, journals and books where I became more interested in biology. While in school I began petty jobs to earn extra money for my school fees and also to help my mother. Successfully I graduated averagely and scored the highest mark in biology. Since then I became more interested in studying biology as a diverse field to study life.

In the year 2009 having graduated from my secondary school I struggle to make more money to pursue my dreams in the university but my income wasn't enough which I planned to continue saving in order to push myself towards my goal. In 2010 I applied to Kaduna state university having passed all the necessary exams successfully; I was accepted to study Biology in Biological science department. Life in the university is too complicated as I want to excelled, I began to organize tutor classes, spending much time in the library reading and researching on my field of interest.

Life for me is to support and help those of need therefore as a passionate young man that always want to help people of less privileged and orphans I co-found an association of youth in my locality to contribute and uplift such vulnerable children in terms of welfare and education, also participated in various humanitarian services within my state and Nigeria at large, one of them was sustainable development goals (SDGS) during my mandatory one (1) service to my country; as a member I moved from one society to another to enlighten and educate children of poor background. Currently participating in voluntary teaching within my locality, I hope one day my effort in touching people's life will yield a positive outcome.

While in the university I was attached to Kaduna South plant and Water Works as water treatment officer to broaden my experience, also I was exposed to various biotechnological background such as molecular biology, genetics, bio-technique, breeding, biochemistry of amino acid and lab, physical chemistry, computer science and mathematics all these make me developed interest in biotechnology.

The urge to contribute to human development, nation building and science in general motivates me towards biotechnology as it affects almost every aspect of human life ranging from agriculture, health, industry and importantly environment.

Additionally it will be an amazing experience to live in a new environment with different culture especially Korea which is bestowed with distinct and unique multicultural background and heritage. Studying in Korea is my dream which I hope will come true. As a science thriving country which have a vision in biotechnology that led to the government adopting policies such as bio-vision 2016 which aimed to achieve a goal of making Korea a biotechnology leader in health life and prosperous bio-economy, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience & Biotechnology (KRIBB) which was established in 1984, Also Korea has a commitment to promote biotechnology since from 1990s when the government established basic plan for the promotion of biotechnology in 1994 (Biotech 2000:1994-2007). Korea was ranked 25th in 2007 in the world in terms of clinical trials which led to the establishment of Korea National Enterprises for Clinical Trials (KoNECT).

After thorough researched I found Chonnam University to be one of the leading universities in Korea with many facilities and biotech research centers, the university recognized biotechnology as a key and solution to many agricultural, health and environmental problems.

International students are at increasing rate, it will be an extraordinary opportunity for me to interact with students and scholars from diverse professional and cultural background in your prestigious institution, this interaction and exposure is vital for the integration of diverse ideas and understanding of several global issues. I believed being in your University will enhance my career and would give me the basic frame work to utilize my full potential.

Finally I consider myself to be of good conduct if given the opportunity as I have the zeal, commitment and dedication to make the most out of this scholarship program.

Once again I am highly grateful for considering my application and I look forward to better reply.
THANK YOU.

Scholarship / As a cutting edge field in the 21st century biotechnology is in the spotlight today. KGSP STUDY PLAN [7]

KGSP STUDY PLAN goal of study, topic of research and detailed study plan, also future plan
This is my draft for study plan for kgsp

my passion towards human development and nation building

Study Plan
As a cutting edge field in the 21st century biotechnology is in the spotlight today, it has been used to improve the quality of our lives in almost every aspect from health, industrial, environmental and agricultural. Thus my goal is to equip myself with basic skills and advance techniques in biotechnology research particularly genetic engineering where I can enhance and broaden my knowledge in gene manipulation. Also will use my expertise to integrate biotechnology techniques into agricultural and environmental development in *******and Africa as a whole.

Biotechnology includes an array of tools for introducing or deleting a particular gene or genes to produce organisms with novel traits; this type of genetic manipulation is term as genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering has the potential to help increase production and productivity agriculture as well as control of disease resistant and environmental effect, this offer new opportunity for solving agricultural problems especially in ********. However the depth of my interest in biotechnology as a whole is paramount but in particular fascinated by genetic engineering because I find it exceedingly interesting how manipulating single gene could affect the entire characteristics and behavior of an organism.

Therefore In the course of my study I would like to research on how different methods in genetic engineering could be use to manipulate genetic makeup of a crops hence will focus on improving the nutritional content , disease resistant and yield of a variety of crops for better benefit.

Considering my country with low agricultural productivity that mostly depends on high exportations of foreign agricultural produced thus eventually my research is expected to create maximum agricultural productivity with better yield, nutritional value and vitamins which could help in tackling blindness due to lack of vitamins A.

Plant genetic engineering is critical aspect of biotechnology therefore I will concentrate fully both in theoretical, practical and research aspect, regularly studying to get the best academic result. I will put great emphasize in research to explore innovative ideas with my professors and colleague.

My choice of ********University comes from the fact that the university is highly ranked in terms of scientific research and projects. Considering this advancement of the university which align with my interest especially in terms of ongoing project on crops pest control and resistant to disease, drought and other environmental factor e I believed I will get the best of everything needed to excel in my research interest as well as academics and future career.

FUTURE PLAN
The depth of my passion towards human development and nation building is central to everything I do therefore after completing my program I plan to transfer knowledge gained in an optimized manner to my home country and Africa at large which will only happen through public service which I will make myself available to it. Also creating international network of expertise and professional for positive partnership in Korea and across borders that will support to enhance capacity building in biotechnological industry in my home country and the world, this will improve international understand and strengthen relationships between Korea and *******. I will also do further my studies in related field learning more professional skills and gain more knowledge needed to succeed in my field of endeavors.
