Scholarship / Here is my essay`s answer for the leadership and influence for applying to a Chevening scholarship. [4]

LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE QUESTION:

The most motivating thing in life is education as is stated by late Nelson Mandela "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". I always asks myself about what I can do to bring positive changes to myself as well as community, then what comes to my mind is education. I have placed education and religion as a core of life guidance, which can allow me to offers good services in the world. Since I grew, I learned these features during the high school at Saint lowanga Catholic School. Such principles are led me to make the most sensitive decisions in my life.

After the high school I joined Sudan University of Science and Technology in the faculty of Radiology and Medical Instrumentation Engineering. I got appointed as biomedical engineer in the Ministry of Health in Juba Teaching Hospital. During my working period I was loyal to hospital administration and supervisors. I acquired several skills that helped me in develop of works ethic and taking of responsibilities.

Studying abroad or being away from home to me is not new thing, because I been I China for duration of two years for post graduate studies. In fact China is known by its life regulations and cultural differences even the language. But when I went there, I found it not like what I heard before, it`s only the matter of adaptation with environment and people. This experiment has made me much stronger and much self-confidence.

What encouraged me to applying to this program is because studying in United Kingdom, I am always wishes to study in UK. As I heard from people who did their studies in UK, about how is grateful to study in UK Universities. And the highest ranking colleges of life science can be found in UK. Addition to that there is multicultural environment and historical places that I would like to visit it.

Another reason because South Sudan is a new nation among developing Countries and educational system is the worst, also there is few intellectual people and deficit in health system. South Sudan is in needs of Medical cadres that can fill the gaps and improvement of health system services through implementation of modern methods of diseases prevention and controlling of outbreak of communicable diseases. Health system in country were decline due to current conflict, which consume the green and dry resources. I certainly would like to take my full responsibilities and I will walk forward to be leader and work by all abilities for the prosperity of people.
