Statement of Purpose I was born in the city of Bangkok in Thailand as the youngest child of my family. I have one brother who is two years older than me. I am in the middle class family and my parents both are the workers of the bank. Since I was young, I had been cultivated to be careful about spending money and not wasting things. I attended the same primary school as my brother, in order to reuse used textbooks from my brother for saving money. In additon, it was easy for my parents to take us to school and pick us up after school. Because of the value of every Baht my parents have dedicated to my studies, I have always been hard-working and constantly tried my best for all opportunities I got. My National Test score was excellent, so I could enter the Satriwithaya School where is the one of the greatest girl’s school in Thailand. I had a chance to learn Mathematics-Chinese program for the secondary education. That was the starting point of my Chinese. I had been happy to study Chinese twice a week in the school. As the senior high school student, I was the school representative participating in many academic competitions and got some prizes. Although I studied French program, I have always been interested in Chinese. Thus, when I got the scholarship from Assumption University where is the most reputable private international university in Thailand, I did not hesitate to choose the Department of Business Chinese as my undergraduate course. When I entered the university, I have accessed in the Chinese education seriously. I felt I have extremely focused on Chinese more than before.

For example, I more often watched and listened everything that is in the Chinese fo... ... middle of paper ... ...ng that I wanted to do and did not force me to do the same. Now I intend to march to a different drummer again. I want to become Chinese teacher, while the rest of my family members are working in the accounting field.

Thus, I want to apply for this scholarship. If I get the Taiwan scholarship, it can be helpful for my family as well as me who have not had income yet. The remaining expenses that do not be covered by the scholarship award, I will pay them by using my savings because I do not want to burden my parents. I hope you will consider me for the opportunity to receive 2014 Taiwan scholarship for Master’s degree study. I can guarantee I will not be a disappointment for you.

My family and I moved from Pakistan eleven years ago in search of a better life. Their main purpose in moving here in the U. S. was to send me to an American college to gain a first-class education.

I am applying for this scholarship to help me pay for college. As everyone knows it is very expensive and sometimes hard to pay for all the things involved. My family is doing everything they can to help pay for my college. One of the biggest obstacles we have faced is applying for the FAFSA.

While applying to FAFSA, these factors are not taken into consideration so we did not get as much money as we had hoped. If I am selected to win this scholarship, it would be greatly appreciated and would help me in many ways to continue my education.
Receiving this scholarship would really benefit me and I would appreciate it more than words can
