Dear sir/madam,
My name is Yousef Al-khayyat ,I was born in Amman, Jordan on Dec,9th,1993 , we are a middle class family of seven members , my dad who's 54 years old has a very hard life which was full of hard working since he has entered the university to get the bachelors degree, then he has been given a scholarship to continue his studying to get master degree , he was very interested in high education so he decided to resign earlier from his work in order to continue his high education in the PhD degree in banking and financial science hoping to get a better paid work , he taught me that life is only ambition and willpower also determination since my childhood and that life is a race and I'm the runner . However, my mum devotes her life by teaching us good manners and how to deal with our lives as well as she was taking of us.

Since my childhood I have played taekwondo for 5 years also I have been playing soccer from age of 7 until now and a apart of this I play kick boxing. This is my life's story which started in the 9th grade as long as I wanted to study abroad and to live outside since I was at this grade with my best friend who went to New York City in 2008 and the only wish was to play for a soccer team or track team.

I have graduated this summer with average of 92 from Terra Sancta collage , I decided to study mechanical engineering so I'm applying for this scholarship hoping to attain my dreams , It would be pleasure to attend to BYU in winter 2012.

Best regards,

Dear Sir/Madam,

Through studying at the high school, I came to realize the need to develop my personal characteristics and skills and learn to apply the knowledge throughout my education. This thought has led me to apply for BYU as a university on high level and perfect qualifications. It is the one in which I feel most capable of excelling.

The reason I am applying for the USA is the fact that this country is the cradle of all knowledge. Furthermore, studying at the BYU saves a lot of precious time for the fact that the Bachelors degree can be completed within 4 years, as opposed to 5 years in Jordan.

My goal is that in four years, I would have a Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and become a leading expert in the field of cars or factory's machines, after obtaining a Bachelor's degree, I intend to continue with my studies and obtain master and PhD degree. The program at your university helps me greatly in achieving my goal, through giving me valuable knowledge that is most relevant to my professional outlooks. For instance, it helps in preparing me to take professional qualifications.

Outside studying, I am active and full of energy. I enjoy traveling to different countries. Also, I enjoy playing soccer and kick boxing as I hope playing in BYU soccer team or track team , I read every day as this is something that I find beneficial in improving my general knowledge and provides me with an opportunity to spend some time on my own.

In conclusion, I hope to get the scholarship and attain my dreams as well as to serve BYU in everything.

Best Regards,
