Scholarship / Applying for scholarship given by Pusan National University as a credit transferred student [3]

Self-Introduction Essay

Having stopped schooling for three consecutive years because of the COVID-19 and the terrible political situations happening right now is what most Myanmar students, including lower education to university students, undergo. I am a university student named Shwe Yaminn, who joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), to protest against the military haunter. Thus, I do not graduate until now although I am a Third Year (Hons.) student. I could get the entrance to attend English Major at Mandalay University, with a total score of 487 matriculation exam marks. I also enrolled in my university years with an average GPA of 4.4.

When I was young, my dream was so simple that I just wanted to work in a company but I had no idea which field I desired to work in. So I chose English Major for my career since it can give me a high tendency to get a job. But when I saw a non-poetic poem book in the book store in the Second Year of my university life, I wanted to work in the publishing field for the first time. The poems they called were not poems at all; they were one-sentence lines and seemed more pick-up lines to flirt with the ones we like. Firstly, I could not understand why this kind of book was published to the public under the category of the poem. The next event that made me more interested in this field was publishing a rated erotic book and seeing many teenagers including minors queuing to get this book. This event made my decision about my career stronger that I would be the one who participated in publishing qualitative, educated, and entertaining books to the public and took responsibility for the books that we published.

For my career, I have a realistic and productive goal. When I get a Bachelor's Degree in English Language and Literature, I will be enrolled in the publishing field to get work experience and learn everything that I should know about publishing. I will exactly devote myself and invest my time, youth, and soul in this field, and when I have more than enough qualities, experiences, and knowledge I will be the founder of my publishing company. My company must carry the burden of educating and entertaining the society and people of my country. Above all of them, I want to be a publisher who can bravely take accountabilities and consequences concerning my published books and I will not be the one who follows trends just to get money.

When I hear the scholarship information given by Pusan National University, I feel that I must grab this golden opportunity for my dream. I want to learn the different approaches by PNU to English Literature as I believe as a publisher I have to analyze the literature pretty well. Moreover, from further research about the school, I get attracted by the notable alumni, Miss. Aram Hur, the founder of the Indigo Book Company. If I get the scholarship as a credit transferred student, I can learn one of the best analyzing methods of literature and I can also get some experience or knowledge about publishing from Indigo Book Company. It is more than important to get the scholarship from PNU for me since this will be the very first step toward my dream.
