Scholarship / 'Great enthusiasm' - letter of motivation for Erasmus Mandus Marhba Scholarship Master Program [3]

Hey there, I am new here and I really need your help. I am applying for master degree scholarship and It is the first time for me to write this kind of letters. though I did some digging on the internet. but I believe your help in modifying my first draft will make a difference..

It is with a great enthusiasm I apply for The Erasmus-Mundus Marhaba Scholarship to study a Master in Finance at Minho-University, or MA in International Business Administration and Modern Languages at University of Almeria starts on autumn 2016. My ultimate goal is to become a professor at a leading research university in Yemen, as well as a professional expert in the business world. Therefore, I believe this scholarship provides me with the opportunity to bring my goal closer.

In college, Having enjoyed the broad nature of Bachelor in Administrative Science with emphasis on accounting, I established myself among the top students in the faculty and graduate in June, 2015 with distinction, first in class of 457 students. In the pursuit of knowledge and excellence, I have always adopted a rigorous approach in order to attain in-depth understanding of the subject in hand. This has amply reflected in my consistent academic career, always coming in top students in my class and having own merit in tenure of teaching assistant in my university. As highly diligent and driven student in the field of business, I have gained a profound knowledge in accounting and financial arenas as well as the business world in general, and acquired a range of important transferable skills of data analysis, presenting arguments, analytical thinking and making decisions. Which I believe make me perfect fit for the master in finance or international business administration.

To make the most of my time at university, I was an active member in campus and pushed others to be active too. In junior year, becoming a class representative and then the chairperson of the graduation committee, has given me the opportunity to go beyond the academia and delve deeper into all the university life has to offer. Through my participation in organizing events, interacting and communicating with others, designing programs and making speech, I has greatly enhanced my leadership skills and developed a better sense of communication with professors, students and faculty members. But the most meaningful outcome of my involvement has been the discovery of my passion to help others. After graduation, I wanted to take my college experiences and use them as a vessel to make a difference, by volunteering in a refugee camp with the Organization of Red Crescent. Taking full advantage of my network and relationships in university, I gathered a team of fifteen, most of them were my friends in college. Our main objective was to raise money, we also set up a new initiative to gather second-hand house necessities. Together in two and half months, we raised more than one million Y.R ,five thousands dollars, and thousands pieces of used clothes, shoes, blankets and etc. I had an incredible and unforgettable feelings, when I glanced at the smile face of a little girl after she got a doll. Through it all, I realized that I simply loved working with people in some way shape or form allow me to change at least one individual life for the better. By being a shoulder for the fallen ones, a hand for someone reaching out, or to be there when others are in need.

Ten Years from now, I envision myself as a professor in a leading university, Yemen. Striving to be an excellent resource to assist students and the learning community by enhancing their understanding of financial and accounting matters, and through clear writings and informative lectures. Currently, I have already experienced the excitement and stratification feelings by getting a full time job as a teaching assistant at Ibb University. I have just put myself in the right path which gives me that sense of right direction. Besides my academic career path, I want to have my own business consulting firm. With regard to my short-term goal is right at the corner, which is to successfully get into your preeminent Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Program. At the end of my master degree, I am not only planning to commence a front office career in large company or bank, but also to continue on my studies in the financial and accounting areas by continuously researching and writing papers related to the field, and then through my PhD studies when time comes.

After thoroughly studying the different master degrees Marhaba Program has to offer, I have come to believe that a master in finance provides me with the most reliable avenue to achieve my goals. This program, along with research thesisث focusing on Corporate Finance ,Financial Market and Investment, Financial Analysis, with up-to-date developments and all trends and changes in financial industry will definitely enhance my scope of research and equip me with a comprehensive understanding of the financial field, providing me with the ability to enter a professional role in the industry, and academia. Benefiting from the ability to choose two elective courses, I intent to take Advanced Accounting and Accounting for Human Capital and Environment. Furthermore, this master program lies the foundations to PhD studies in accounting and finance. That is why I take the master in finance as my first option.

The master in international business and language studies seems sparkling to me. The provision to courses in international management and strategic planning, I will explore the international business environment, the developing patterns of the world trade markets, and gain profound knowledge in-how international transactions and operations fulfilled.

Writing Feedback / Fiction and non-fiction books - which of these two types of books do you generally prefer to read? [2]

Toefl independent task, need help with my essay please..

The prompt,
Books can be divided intow two main types: fiction ( novels and stories) and non-fiction (histories, biographies, and self-helped books, for example).
Which of these two types of books do you generally prefer to read...

My essay,

Some people prefer to read imaginary books such as novels and stories while others prefer to read factual-based books like historical and scintific books. Personally speaking, I prefer to read the first type. In this essay I will explore in details my preference.

To begin with, fictional books are not tought in schools. Most schools coriculum focuses on topics about sciences, arts and so on. Therefore, students get used to these books and need to read another kind of texts. For instance, when I was in six grade, my father father gave me a short Arabic story" Al-Sendbad". This story was different from what I read at school, so I told all of my friends about and lent it to some of them too. This way I became intersted reading stories and novels.

Another reason why I prefer fictional books is that they introduce us to new ideas we may never think about. Fantasy and imaginary books cross the boundries of our lnature and life. For example, the idea of Alliens- creatures living in the space, was first mentioned in a story book in the mid sextith of the last century. This story illustrated how men annovated a new kind of jets that can help in protecting the earth from those creatures. After reading this story some people in Canda and USA reported seeing them. Also, engineer designed a new gets that can fight more efficentlly. It is clearely that fictional books broaden our imagination and make us more creative.

Last but not least, fictional books are exciting to read. I remember reading a historical book about Palstine. In fact, I found this book boring and that I read only two chapters of it in weeks. However, when I read the story of "Slah Al-Deen", who was a famous palstine leader, I was so much exciting that I finished reading this 623 pages novel on one night. As a result, now, whenevr I want to learn about the history of any country, I read a story about some of its prominent leaders.

To conclude with, fictional books are my favorit kind of books. Because, they are not learned in school, they introduce us to new ideas we may never think about, and most importantly, they are more intersting to read. Therefore, if you do not read fictional books, start reading some now. Definately, you will find the amazement I found reading them.

The research was indeed compelling and indicated the high-quality of research that can be expected from Mr. Noman in the future.

He is very popular among accountancy school students as he tried to help them in every aspects he was able to.

Mr. Noman combination of intelligence, commitment, perseverance, enthusiastic character, and ability to carry out independence research and group projects will certainly make him a promising student of either Finance or International Business Administration School.
