Personal Statement

My admiration for aviation management dates back in high school where I used to aid my

colleagues in tackling issues affecting their studies. I used to engage them in discussions to

devise the best ways of dealing with their challenges. This is where I discovered and developed

my skills in assessing and understanding challenging situations which require critical thinking

and precise decision making. Furthermore, it made me develop multidimensional approaches

when addressing any problem. This is because I believed that there is more than one solution to a

situation. With time, I realized that I needed to exercise my skills in solving more complex

issues. The only opportunity for me to achieve this was through pursuing a career in business and

innovation. This is because the modern world relies on business activities for its survival.

Furthermore, the aviation environment demands individuals who are critical thinkers and who

are not afraid to face challenges and completion.

Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have advanced my critical thinking and decision-making

abilities. Most importantly, I have streamlined these abilities toward business decision making.

This is through studying factors affecting decision making in business context. I come to

appreciate that the aviation world is unique from all other fields. This area requires more than

just critical thinking. It requires one to complement his critical thinking capabilities with

business and management principles. Furthermore, it demands effective and efficient

communication skills with close attention to the current cultural diversity.

I am specifically interested in pursuing master's in aviation management because I believe that I

have all the resources to excel in this area. This is a sector which requires great assessment,

comprehension, and decision-making skills. This is because it involves dealing with issues in the

aviation field before, when, and after they occur. This indicates that aviation management

requires both preventive and reactive measures in addressing management issues. Since it

involves addressing issues which impact on the aviation sector, it requires proper planning,

developing appropriate methods and excellent communication within a firm. I believe that I have

the ability to handle all these responsibilities efficiently. Apart from being an effective

communicator, I am also a good team player who respects other people opinions.

However, I cannot be a full aviation manager without acquiring the required advanced academic

skills in this discipline. This is the reason I am applying for a chance in your institution. I am

aware of the high reputation your institution have in offering training on this subject. My

interaction with some your former students has enabled me to understand how the institution

operates. They have highlighted me on the various requirements you demand from your students

including your insistence on quality academic research. Furthermore, the institution’s provision

of modern technology and facilities will enhance my understanding of new concepts and

progress my research skills. My goal is to gain more knowledge on how to handle both the

existing and emerging threats in the aviation sector. I believe that your institution is the best

place to help me achieve this goal. Finally, I believe that I will contribute positively to the

development of your school through research, innovation, and interaction with other members.
