This is a story of triumph and tragedy. The tragedy was seeing a ten year old boy, burning with fever, who died after drifting in and out of consciousness for three days. I can still recall the intolerable pain of his mother on the loss of her only child. I was a teenager then and had accompanied my father to a free medical camp in a remote village near Lahore. Touched by that incident, I decided to arrange a campaign for malaria prevention and collected donations for free medications and mosquito nets. Over a couple of years, the triumph occurred when the mortality rate in that rural village markedly plummeted. It was that turning point in my life when I made up my mind to bring about tangible changes in the lives of such diseased and helpless people.
In medical school, I was introduced to a wide range of specialties, but it was internal medicine that inspired me the most. During my rotation, I loved generating a differential diagnosis by searching for clues and implementing the treatment plan. Working

Since graduating from medical school, I have actively acquired a variety of clinical experiences demonstrating my flexibility to fit into any environment and be a productive part of any team. I want to apply my hard earned knowledge to master the skills of diagnosis, educate my patients, and serve the uninsured in the community.

During my undergraduate and graduate years, I maintained full-time employment to ensure college remained affordable for my family and I. Hence, my employment experiences have provided me with a great respect for social and ethical views that differ from my own which will allow me work well with others from diverse backgrounds. In addition, my extensive employment history has granted me with the work ethic required to endure the strenuous work schedule of both a medical student and physician. Furthermore, working at the University of Miami Hospital, specifically, has enlightened me about the practicalities of providing direct patient care. Ultimately, being able to work while enrolled full-time in courses has taught me the art of time management; a trait I believe will be essential to my success while in medical
The fast-changing pace of Internal Medicine appeals to me as a strong critical thinker. I enjoy the challenge of incorporating all spectrums of medicine into each differential diagnosis; every case is a new problem-solving opportunity. Internal Medicine, more than any other specialty, utilizes my personal knowledge, experience, and the assistance of my team in an all-encompassing analysis with the most up-to-date information for personalized care with each and every patient. Only with true understanding and a personal bond with a patient can one practice preventive medicine, which is a priority in all medicine, but especially important for Internal Medicine, where motivating lifestyle change is crucial. Internists, to me, are lifelong learners, which is why I feel the strongest connection toward the concentration of Internal Medicine.
Throughout my clinical rotations, I found internal medicine to be most rewarding. It requires critical thinking, problem solving skills and deductive reasoning to reach a diagnosis through the data obtained from the patient. But what differentiates a good internist from a great internist is good listening and interpersonal skills. I believe this is where my undergraduate in psychology gives me an edge. In my undergraduate psychology, we are taught the importance of good listening and communication skills which makes the patient feel important, comfortable and establishes a good doctor-patient relationship.
The level of care that the varying healthcare professionals provided to these patients was fascinating and became intrigued to a career path in the medical field. Over the next couple of years, I narrowed the possibility
All my life, I have pushed myself to become the best person I can be, in school, in my personal life, and in the various jobs I have held.

I have started taking on more leadership roles, becoming an officer in clubs I am involved in and becoming the Vice President of Campus Affairs in my chapter of Alpha Phi, but I believe I have not yet reached my full potential and I am an emerging leader. I would like to continue to

“I’m going to go to Italy and take BUL3310 and also MAN4340”, I blurted out to my friends as we talked about our future endeavors.

Pranav Patil Computer Science STATEMENT OF PURPOSE INTRO I believe that the ability to invent, innovate and discover is what has propelled man to the echelons of success. Throughout my life, I have been driven by the desire to “create”, a capability that transcends the passive acquisition of knowledge. It is always the unknown path that has enthralled me more than known terrain. In a world where everything from fighter jets to elevators, interactive graphic displays to digital watches, is driven by computers, I found it difficult not to get fascinated by the technology involved.
Personal Statement of Purpose I, Nilay Pramodbhai Patel, take this opportunity to introduce myself as a graduate of Mechanical Department from Gujarat Technological University, Gujarat. I now want to take the next step by specialising in Global Production Engineering (Manufacturing) by undertaking and pursing my postgraduate studies at Technical University of Berlin in the specialism mentioned. I would humbly request you to take time and consider my application to you and put forward this personal statement of my purpose of seeking higher education at your university together with supporting testimonial and recommendation letters from my college and current employers.
My work experience over the last three years has led me to a thorough revision of my professional identity and aspirations. This fundamental revision, in term, has resulted in a crucial decision to change my career path and pursue a graduate degree in public health. I was only 15 years old when I went to a medical university. While I was studying there I became so interested in pathophysiology, pharmacology, internal medicine, psychiatry and psychology that after graduation I was eager to expand my knowledge in all those areas and find a job that would allow me to apply all that knowledge in practice. Therefore, I completed my internship in internal medicine, spent a year as a teaching assistant in pathophysiology and obtained degree in psychiatry.
