"Dear Admission Committee,
For the longest time, I have had the thought of becoming a scientist. I grew up in a family full of chemists in an environment close to agricultural areas. My interest in chemistry grew largely during my time as an 11th grader. At that time, we were tasked with researching a topic we liked, and I chose to research zeolite. As I delved further into the subject, I realized how interesting and beneficial chemistry can be, especially in the field of combating climate change. During my research, I found that, as far as I know, zeolite has the potential to help farmers combat famine preemptively, which would help minimize the effects of increased temperatures. This insight motivated me to continue my studies in chemistry and specialize in the study of zeolites, expanding my knowledge and eventually applying it in practice.
Researching zeolite has deepened my interest in the field of chemistry. It has made me see chemistry as a force strong enough to make significant improvements to the world. I have witnessed numerous unwanted natural phenomena, such as droughts and famines, that have affected and claimed many lives. Recently, in Sampang, where 77 villages were affected by drought, this moved my heart to seek solutions to minimize the effects of global warming.
I realize that conviction and good intentions are not enough; that's why I seek knowledge in Hungary, a nation with a long academic tradition dating back to the 14th century. I decided to study in Hungary because of its growing innovativeness and its relatively high innovation index worldwide. I read the news that said that the Hungarian government has increased its budget expenditure for R&D, which shows the growing importance of research and academic institutions for the government. Furthermore, Hungary's strong focus on applied sciences and materials research aligns personally with my interest in zeolites as a practical solution for agricultural and environmental challenges. Additionally, I have a passion for archeology and culture, and I have been interested in the Carpathian Plain area, especially Hungary. I'd love to learn and immerse myself in the Hungarian culture.
I understand that my journey in seeking knowledge abroad may not be a straightforward one. I expect some challenges that might stall my learning process, such as culture shock, homesickness, and a sudden drop in motivation. Based on my experience, I have found that the solutions for the last two are contemplation and a solitary walk to refresh my mind. As for culture shock, I'll first research the locals' norms and culture so that I'll be well prepared.
I expect to gain valuable experience, knowledge, and skills during and after the programme, which will enhance my critical thinking necessary in the academic world. These will be crucial for me as I plan to continue my studies in Chemistry in a post-graduate program. Moreover, my perspective on science and problem-solving will broaden through exposure to diverse academic approaches, research methodologies, and cultural viewpoints throughout my time in Hungary, eventually making me more adaptable, flexible, and creative in problem-solving. I believe these qualities will mold me into a responsible and productive researcher in the future.
Thank you for considering my application. I believe this program is the bridge between what I have already accomplished and what I hope to achieve for both science and society."
I'd like to know whether I did good in my letter. Thank you for your time!
