i am applying to the university of the people and i have to write an essay on the above topic, below is the essay, i hope that you can help me to make corrections to the essay as soon as possible so that i can wrap it up.thanks in advance.
A university education is one of the most important goals in the life of an individual in the twenty first century, this is because of the opportunities it endows on one with respect to one's livelihood as well as the highly competitive world of the labour market. Employers of labour are looking not just fort technical skills and knowledge of a degree discipline but rather they particularly value skills such as communication, team working, objectivity, problem solving as well as effective time management. All of these are mainly part of what one will gain in the process of studying for a university degree.
A degree in Computer Science from the University of the people will more than equip me with all of the aforementioned advantages and also elevate my status in the society. Coming from a third world country where majority of the people subsist on less than two dollars daily, it has been very difficult for me to get a sound education as the educational sector is crippled by strike and inadequate funding of the higher institutions by the Federal Government.
In a country of one hundred and forty million people where two million college seekers are being churned out on a yearly basis whereas the available institutions are barely equipped to cater for Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand students annually. This situation has given rise to unhealthy competition for the few slots available thereby breeding corruption in the selection process as only those who can afford to pay huge sums of money as bribe to the admission officers are given admission. The unfortunate ones are then only left with the option of attending very expensive private universities or rather go and learn a trade while biding their time for the next admission season. The cumulative effect of this is that the price of getting admission keeps sky-rocketing until it eventually eclipses the dreams of the common people.
In today's world of modern technology, studying at the University of the People would provide me with all of the prerequisite needed in the highly competitive world of professional level employment. I shall have gained an improved information handling skill such as researching, analyzing and presentation (verbally and in writing).I would also have been required to take seasoned perspective on numerous topics while taking into account others' perspectives. My ability to communicate, manage time effectively, meet deadlines, juggle commitments and work with other people will also be enhanced. All of which are valuable assets to have in the workplace where roles and relationships are often complex.
As a student of the university of the People in Nigeria, i shall feel greatly honoured to be able to share the good news of the humanitarian services being offered by your distinguished institution to the many millions of people who are hopefully waiting for an opportunity to get a higher education. That aside, i truly believe that the quality of education at the University of The people is much more than that obtainable at any and all of the state and federal institutions in the country as most of these universities were established during the colonial era and they have been neglected by the government over the past years. This is also one of the reasons why the entire higher institutions in the country are on strike at the moment.
