STATEMENT OF PURPOSE “Education is a tool that puts one a fast to acquire knowledge and personality that sets one apart from the crowd. It is one bottom less hole; no matter how much one pours himself into it, he thirsts for more.” I have been dedicated towards my studies right from childhood. I completed my school and my pre-university education, Physics and Mathematics being my majors with flying colors in the Intermediate Examination (10+2 pattern) XII, 2003 from a reputed college. I got the opportunity to pursue my goal by getting into an esteemed institute Sri Vasavi Engineering College, which is affiliated to JNTU, Andhra Pradesh. Outstanding academic performance in my school and college, active participation in academic as well as extra curricular activities have helped to develop strong quantitative and analytical abilities and good leadership and communication skills which made me acquire a job, directly through campus selections. Full time employment since June 2007 as IT professional with Wipro Technologies (Wipro is the first CMM Level 5 Company listed on NASDAQ exchange.), a premier & one of the top 5 IT Firms in India has been a rewarding experience.

Attaining an MS program would help to provide me with the tools that I need to realize my long term goal of someday returning to India and establish a small IT corporation of my own and prosper as a result of better organizational management. I also have the dream of networking and lobbying on behalf of India’s most poor, since defending the poor is central to my social vision of the future. Most particularly, I look forward to helping poor Indian women establish small businesses to sustain themselves. For me, social service to brotherhood that is most in need is also my primary mode of spiritual fulfillment. I am a stalwart, enthusiastic, and dedicated young woman who looks forward with keen anticipation to giving her all to your program and making my professors proud of my achievements. I want to thank you for consideration of my application. Harika Bandaru

“You will never know what you are doing until and unless you have done it.” ― Santosh Kalwar. (http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/education?page=11) Throughout the 18 years I’ve lived on Earth, I have learned one thing. Life is nothing but trial and error. You can only learn by learning. You can only experience by experiencing. All my life I took something so vital for granted; pushing it away because I was afraid. I allowed myself to be held back by my trials. I let myself become my problems. I never took an open opportunity like this to better myself, until now. “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” ― Sydney J. Harris. (http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/education?page=11) My education is my future; a second chance I thought I’d never get. And I’m never turning back. That is what my education means to me.

People in the past did not stress value of receiving a higher education because it was not as indispensable as it is today. Now, people perceive others not only by their appearances, but by their accomplishments. Employers always hire people with the most education and experience. The majority of students are concerned about getting a higher education throughout the years. Nevertheless, some people question the purposes of getting educated, and consider it meaningless. The concept of education has a significant meaning. It enables one to take control of knowledge and apply it. It is education what prepares the mind to comprehend and learn important ideas. A higher education is very important for an individual's success in life. It offers students skills that prepare them mentally, physically and socially for the world of work later in life. A higher education should not be a choice, because it is the foundation of our society. It helps students with their personal development, provides economic growth, helps students understand and interpret the world around them, and affects individuals’ job positions. It will promote new interests, economic stability, help students understand others, and prepare better individuals for the future.
Education is not to teach men facts, theories or laws, not to reform or amuse them or make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellect, teach them to think straight, if possible, but to think nevertheless. Robert Maynard Hutchins
In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for enabling me to express myself. I would be very thankful if I am offered an admission in your esteemed university.
I strongly believe that my urge to become a social worker stems from the frightening idea of what would have happened with my grandmother as well as my own parents; had they not had someone helping them. I understand that not every older adult or young child has the good fortune of having family members care for them. I am also aware that some face neglect and more often than not, abuse from family members or those trusted to care for them. I feel that I can be an advocate for those older adults or children that are neglected or abused. I feel that the masters in social work program would give me the theoretical foundation as well as the intensive training that is necessary to become a successful social worker.
An education is something that one can keep for a lifetime. Acquiring a good education can affect one’s personal life, one’s community, and one’s entire generation.
I believe that I am suitable and competent to be successful in your Master of Public Administration program. I am well aware of the extensive requirements of the program but willing to face the challenge to excel in my field. I thank you, in advance, for your valuable time and consideration for your program.
Education is the very foundation in which we as individuals grow, and formulate the knowledge we gain through life into meaningful ways of adapting to the world.
However, the amounts of knowledge that I was getting made me forget about the challenges and made me hungry for more. The more I learn, the more I find out that there is no limit to education and as long as I live I could keep on learning. Therefore, as long as I’m capable of learning I will continue to learn and my education journey will be an endless one. Most people have a different perspective on what an educated person is and according to Hudson Valley Sudbury School “education sometimes happens at school and sometimes doesn’t, and knowledge can be a sign of an education, but neither are education itself. Simply put, education as the willingness and ability to learn for the sake of learning. The truly educated person learns constantly without supervision or external reward”(Burdik, 2014). I completely agree with this code. I believe education is the willingness to learn not for the sake of rewards, but for the ability to expand our thoughts and ideas and also to solve problems and to know the unknown.
I am aware of the hard work involved in acquiring the degree from an institution of international reputation and I am confident of succeeding in the course offered to me at the university.
I am aware of the hard work and perseverance necessary for research work and I know that it is not always as exciting as the published results seem to indicate. Nevertheless, I am sure that my aptitude and drive will see me through the challenge. It is with this in mind, that I look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with your university as a graduate student, I take this opportunity to thank the University faculty for their patient perusal of my application.
Relentless betterment has always been the motive of my life. The foremost requirement to attain this is knowledge and profound guidance. After the completion of my course under the guidance of your privileged university I am confident enough that I will take the path of constant growth.
