Global UGRAD Personal Statement #2


(UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

I am the kind of person who believes that hard work pays off. Being project oriented, I’m focused more on
the task at hand. Furthermore, my ability to cope up with my team, responsibility, and affability has
always earned me an extra credit.

Since my childhood, I have engaged myself in various activities. Besides, I have also a keen interest in
sports and video games, with many certi cations in the former.

Academically, I aspire to be at the top in my eld. Therefore I do not want to limit myself to the current
degree, instead, I want to explore the vastness of my eld through participating in different programs
such as this, which will help me develop my social and educational skills and reform my abilities to
perform even better. So that one day I could be a part of something even better, which will hopefully serve
the world in a best possible way.

As the United States is host to one of the World’s powerful Nation, traveling there and watching their ways
of working things out will surely help in my personal grooming. Furthermore interaction with foreign
culture will have a positive effect on my personality and experiencing their education system in person
will surely bring about a useful change on my educational style. Therefore I think it’d be an ideal platform
for me to go beyond the limits and experience something different, which will de nitely boost up my
creativity. Following which, I would be able to serve my community more effectively.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #3


 (UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

Being from a remote area of Baluchistan it was very di cult for my family to establish ourselves in
different elds based on higher education. My father, a true visionary led our family and brought us all up
to the standards where we all are among very few of our relatives who are well educated and well settled.
I consider myself to be an energetic, hardworking and ambitious individual. I have always enjoyed an
unorthodox lifestyle among my friends. I joined Girls Guide when I was in 4th grade, I volunteered for
helping 2005 Earthquake affected people while traveling right to the heart of the affected areas. I also
participated in many “All Pakistan Camps” arranged at various locations in Pakistan and have learned a
lot through interaction with people from diverse cultures. I joined Scouting Youth Council and participated
in numerous youth program at SYC and nally became a member of their organizing committee. I am
working with an event management organization as their coordinator. Their aim is to aid youth of
Baluchistan in exploring the diversity of terrain and cultures. I have participated in numerous debate and
declamation contests. I have participated in MUN (Model United Nations)-QTA twice and awarded as best
delegate both times. I also became a part of MUN Club. I have also participated in conducting free
medical camps in villages and around the Quetta city concerning the treatment of eyes, kidneys etc.

Thalassemia in my division Zhob will be my prime point of focus. There is a lot of room for improvement
in our methods and customs of treatment which I am sure would be easier to mend through a systematic
approach.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #4


(UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

As I lay in bed, my eyes were set on the raindrops grazing the roof. I began to think about how I managed
to live here in Rawalpindi. The raindrops caressing the panels were like myself, falling from the sky as if it
has nally escaped imprisonment of its prede ned nature, rushing to anything within reach. When I went
from Badin to Islamabad, I could see everything with my eyes closed. I pictured sitting carefree in a
restaurant with my friends, standing on a rostrum delivering praise-worthy presentations, but I knew it
was never going to be that easy. I was being ignored, rejected, and mocked at but I never gave up.
Migrating here from Badin gave me a lot of inferiority complexes. Now that I have made improvements
and developed a passion for English, I am set on being a journalist, English language professor, and a
future novelist. Studying in an all female university is an issue as I don’t interact with a diverse group of
people. Accordingly, I’ve made online friends from different countries and cultures. Being a literature and
language student, the United States, a multi-cultural country will give me rst-hand experience of
interacting in diversi ed settings. I will be a representative of my country as I become an independent and
more improved person. After returning, I will inform students of my journey and empower students who
dream like I do. UGRAD is a perfect platform that I’ve absolutely been looking for.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #5


I have always felt that we as humans have an inborn desire to want to help others. This passion has
blossomed into a responsibility. I am beginning to understand that medicine is my permanent source of
satisfaction. The statement, “The most exquisite pleasure in the practice of medicine comes from
nudging a layman in the direction of terror, then bringing him back to safety again”, by Kurt Vonnegut in a
novel “God Bless You”. Gave me a thought that how being a doctor would feel and has convinced me to
pursue medicine as a means for serving the community.

To further my insight into the medical eld I participated in a work shadowing week at a local hospital.
Here I gained insight into how MRI and other medicines work. I gained a valuable understanding of the
workings of the surgery and observed the ward rounds, a skin biopsy, and an endoscopy clinic all which I
found interesting and helped me pursue medicine.

My desire to study medicine is re ected in my intermediate choices. My interest in the human body led
me to pursue Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at Intermediate, which signi cantly improved my study of
diseases, con dence in a laboratory and practical skills.

I enjoy socializing and playing football having captained by the high school to numerous successes and
played for the college football team. Partaking in a teamwork as both a member and a leader has
improved my teamwork pro ciency, leadership, competence, good teamwork abilities and
communication skills

 (UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)

I am a resident of [censored], Balochistan. Being one of the most important cities of the province, it still
lags behind in basic literacy and healthcare facilities. The poor education system was not the only
obstacle I had to overcome. I also had to ght gender discrimination. And due to lack of nancial
resources, I taught part-time which lead me to experience the harsh realities of our patriarchal society
where women are stereotyped to be mothers and wives with no right to education.

I stood tall against all these adversities with consistent hard work, perseverance, and con dence. The
sufferings and deaths caused by curable diseases sparked the passion in me to pursue a career in
medicine.I worked hard with determination and nally succeeded reserving my admission at Bolan
Medical College by scoring 1st position in terms of test scores in all Balochistan.

I have maintained outstanding achievements throughout my academic life. I was a member of science
club at school and was selected to participate in Exchange & Excel Camps for scoring top grades. I was
also invited by PEEF to attend personality development program for being a topper in district
intermediate-exams. Besides medicine, I also like reading about philosophy, cosmology, and history and
have published relevant articles in local blogs. I have excellent presentation skills and actively participate
in debate competitions & volunteer work.

For a girl like me, UGRAD is a huge learning opportunity. I look forward to utilizing this program to study
clinical medicine and learn from USA’s leading doctors to help improve local health care.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #7


Hailing from a remote area at the verge of Pak-Afghan border where people don’t even dream about
higher education, it’s not less than a miracle that today I am enrolled in Mechanical Engineering
department of a prestigious Engineering University in Pakistan.

It wasn’t that easy as it may sound. I have tried hard to get admission in a University of good repute. If I’ll
get more opportunities to excel; it would send a positive message to the youth and elders in my area that
education is the ray of hope in the current bewildering situation.

From early childhood, I had to live at student hostels, far from my home because my village lacks even
basic educational facilities. I have suffered but I can proudly say that my struggle has rewarded me with
con dence, knowledge and most of all, the hope. I have experienced that how your struggle pays you
back and that has made me more ambitious.

God has blessed me with a number of skills including the quality of being out spoken, have won different
titles in several debating contests. I have been the best debater of school, college, and province. Recently
won the 2nd position at Inter-department declamation contest and am selected for regional declamation
contest from my university. Been the best player of cricket at the school level and played different
domestic games.

I believe in Win-Win situations. I feel that it’s my duty to share what I have with those who can’t afford to
acquire. That’s why I have voluntarily organized different seminars and workshops on career counseling
and future planning. I have volunteered as a teacher in my village school. Worked as a volunteer, in the

awareness of youth. I have recently attended international youth conference and seminar held in
Islamabad.

The world, being a global village today needs harmony among people from different religions and races.
This Student Exchange Programme seems to me as a perfect chance to meet with people from diverse
ethnicities. If today’s Youth will avail such opportunities to understand and tolerate each other,
tomorrow’s world would be more peaceful and prosperous. This exchange program will help me enhance
my leadership skills and the myriad exposure of this program would enhance the effectiveness of my
devotion to educate my people. This program will help me experience the eminent education standards of
United States that can enhance my passion and love for my eld. Moreover, from my example, People
back here will know U.S.A as a friend who is concerned about the future of their youth instead of an
unseen enemy who bombs them with unmanned air-crafts.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement #8


Being young and an ambitious boy, everything is an adventure and an opportunity to broaden my horizon.
I have always craved for contact, friendships and a social circle as big as my love for food. So the appeal
that USA has with all the freedom, the endless opportunities and the chance to take the joy of life that
only a Pakistani experience was simply irresistible for me.

I am someone who can make friends even on a bus stop. Being congenial helps me meet new people and
staying in touch with old ones keeps me busy. Learning Chinese and joining 6 societies at my university
have been a huge workload but no regrets here. I am an active social worker and have organized various
counseling sessions for high school students in my hometown.

My curiosity for machines, desire to construct something unique and the interest to work on mega
projects with a variety of people, led me towards mechanical engineering. To improve Pakistan’s energy
crisis, I have started making an e cient Human Powered Vehicle.

This program is a tremendous opportunity to interact with different cultures in the USA, representing
Pakistan’s, turn my ideas into reality and understand the real applications of engineering. Foreign
exposure will help me improve my knowledge of cultural differences and understand global issues
through a different dimension. I hope to learn a new language there and know more about the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
I will return with more than souvenirs and a trunk-full of experiences to share with everyone. I am going
there as an ambassador of Pakistan but will return as an ambassador of USA in Pakistan.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #9


 (UGRAD SPRING 2017 Candidate)

I hail from a small village in district Mastung, Balochistan. I was fortunate enough to be born in an
educated and liberal family in a region where illiteracy and tribalism still have deep roots in the society.
My father, despite his nancial restraints, made sure that me and my siblings get the best possible
education, and also trained us to stand and act on our beliefs in a pretty dogmatic society. As a child I
was fascinated by science and scientists, and I believe my exposure to such material from an early age
molded me to think logically, rationally and critically. Resultantly, pursuit of knowledge became the

the province. I secured 6th position in the intermediate board of Balochistan. Later, I scored 8th highest

position in the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in the entire province and landed one of the three
spots for admission in Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore, an Institute counted among the elitist
Medical Colleges of the country. For that, I was selected for CM Punjab’s special scholarship for students
of Balochistan, which bears expenses of my college and hostel fee. I am a regular student of AIMC,
Lahore now.

I consider myself to be a Rubik’s-Messiah complex hybrid, I like the thrill of solving problems and I believe
humanity is the only religion, that is why I choose medicine. In addition to the intriguing challenges it
presents, it also gives me the opportunity to do something good for my fellow humans, and matter in an
effective way to my people. After my MBBS, I want to specialize in Infectious diseases as it will allow me
to be helpful to a large number of people given the poor hygienic and sanitary conditions in my province,
due to poverty, illiteracy and an almost complete absence of infrastructure.

I have a curious mind, owing to which I have a number of hobbies and interests. I’m a passionate reader, I
spend allot of time reading history, poetry, philosophy, psychology, and novels (Huckleberry Finn being my
favorite). I love traveling and I have a special zeal for the archeology, anthropology, and wildlife of
Balochistan, pursuing which has led me to acquire skills like off-road driving, hiking, and photography. I
also watch a lot of movies.
I hold this opportunity in the highest esteem, and if given a chance, it will prove vital to my self-
development and act as a catalyst in my growth as a person. This program will polish my social skills and
help me achieve my future aspirations. I am really enthusiastic about the idea of blending in a new
society, exposure to a new culture and the experience of studying in U.S.A. I will try to sponge all the
goodness I come across and I wish to spread it in my community when I come back. I assure you, that I
will contribute to the program with all my heart and reciprocate the experience by acting as a true
ambassador of my country. I realize the potential this program offers and I am certain I will take full
advantage of it.

“Talent deserves a chance” is what I was taught in my High School and still echoes around my ears
