Motivation and Commitment of Study Continuation

Dear Prof. Joseph Blatt

Harvard University

With this letter I would like to explain my motivation to continue my study for a higher degree. I
finished my undergraduate study in Biology Education Department (Faculty of math and science),
University of Malang, Indonesia very successfully in 2016 for a total of four years.

I was furthermore granted with a full scholarship for Master Degree Program from UM. In my
graduate courses I focused on analysis the effectiveness of learning methods in Indonesia. My
master thesis entitled “Analysis of Oral Discussion of Theachers and Student Interactions in Class
(Case Study of Language Usage in Sragen State High School in Indonesian, Biological and
Sociological Lessons” was again granted by grade A. I finished my master program in February 2007
as the best master program graduate for March 2018 graduation at Biology Education Department
University of Malang, for a total of three semesters.

When I took my undergraduate degree, I got a cum laude degree with an IPK score 3,89. And when
I took the master’s degree, I got a cum laude degree with an IPK score 4,00. Therefore, I was
advised by my Professor to continue my doctoral abroad. And I am very interested in continuing to
Harvard University

Your university is a worldwide known and reputable, international orientated university and it would
be an ideal place for my doctoral study. The consequent demand to educate for a successful career
accommodates me very much. The program offered fit very well with my hitherto existing studies,
my educational background, my interests and my abilities. Studies at your university would
furthermore, due to the internationality of the school, provide an insight into nationalities and
cultures throughout the world. This would open up new and diverse perspectives and is would
broaden my horizon with supposedly grandiose experiences.

I hope with this letter I revealed my impetus and my desire to continue my study in an amazing
country at a harvard university. I feel confident that my qualifications are more than sufficient and
that I am able to meet the postulated and the forthcoming demands.

I enclose a curriculum vitae, please contact me if you require any further details or documents.
I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Best Regards,
Zuhrotul Mufidah
