<\/span><\/h3>\nLooking at the numbers and reading between the lines are better ways to capture the awful healthcare situation of my home country. It records the highest number of youth in the world, having about 50% of its population aged below 35 years. Even as one of the largest economies in Africa, about 44% of its citizens live in abject poverty. Moreover, research reveals that 1.3 million Nigerians are pushed below the poverty line each year, due to excess expenses regarding healthcare costs. More resources and attention need to be put together towards preventive public healthcare measures. Furthermore, to forestall and mitigate potential healthcare deficits, healthy policies and research have to be put in place for a better current generation. A review of the world’s most infectious disease revealed that it was found in sub-Saharan Africa thus, emphasizing the need to pay adequate attention to insights and policies in this region.<\/em><\/p>\nAccording to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) report, Africa’s NCD burden may double over the next two years. Unfortunately, this projection is quite alarming. Moreover, research has consequently revealed that 61.7% of mortality in recent years in sub-Saharan Africa is attributed to infectious diseases. This has further caused more damage to human society, and my major motivation and reason for taking an interest in public health and Data Science in health.<\/em><\/p>\nI have consciously placed myself on the track of Data Science through research experience during my undergraduate project, where I carried out a study on gender-based implications of the effect of Nicotine on Cardiac and Renal cells ATPase in Water rats, whose data I analyzed a year later as an SDG 3 advocate. This admission will enable me to further my experience by learning from a ‘master’s in the field’ at the University of Aberdeen.<\/em><\/p>\nMoreover, I was able to secure a research assistant job at the Department of Medicine LASUTH to improve my research and writing skills, where I helped conduct clinical trials and surveys among others. It further helped me to improve my analytical skills and ability to draw inferences from medical science data including the ability to multitask.<\/em><\/p>\nI have completed 2 internship programmes within the past three years in an Electro-physiology unit of a teaching hospital and a health research consulting firm respectively, where I was further exposed to the operations of various aspects of medical science fields such as Electroencephalograph and cho-cardiograph as well as their applications and extrapolation of data. These experiences enabled me to explore the various health sciences fields that could be further researched. Also, it quickened my ability to under pressure due to the intensity of the environment and broadened my view. Meanwhile, I got hands-on knowledge of the technicalities of fieldwork in data science in public health is all about, at the consulting firm. I also took part in the evaluation and monitoring of healthcare projects, as well as got exposure to how it works. I am confident that I would be able to succeed in this field, with my wealth of experience and degree.<\/em><\/p>\nMy research and findings in this program have strongly convinced me its the best fit and logical step towards attaining my career goal as a public health worker and data scientist. Interestingly, I have taken cognisance of the diversity of the faculty members as regards interests and training backgrounds. Assigning me to any one of the faculty members would go a long way in moulding me in line with my aspirations. The major driving force of my application is to acquire my career goals in an institution that is research-oriented.<\/em><\/p>\nWith my commitment and pedigree, I strongly believe in an invaluable and unique contribution to the diverse international student body. With adequate resources and a support system, I am confident that I will be able to surpass my goals. I see myself pioneering research in Data Science, with a long-lasting impact on my locality, as well as improving the health conditions of sub-Saharan Africa in terms of science development. In my heart are a lot of things I want to achieve, however, it will start with this admission to achieve my aim, which is to impact globally.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>Sample 2 of a Good Statement of Purpose for International Scholarships<\/span><\/h3>\nAs teachers in public school, my parents were able to understand that learning goes beyond the activities within the four walls of the classrooms. While there is an open-door policy available to students and their families, my parents trained me to welcome and groom relationships with individuals in various work communities. I grew up in a home where we saw parent-teacher conferences such as American holiday communal gatherings, and informal English language lessons regularly take place. One unforgettable memory is seeing myself guiding a single mother who was heartbroken over her gay child being harassed and bullied by peers. Growing up as a nonbinary Latinx child, my school teachers taught me to code-switch and hide the truth about my identity. However, this yielded a series of unsuccessful attempts.<\/em><\/p>\nThankfully, the guidance from my parents and experiences in the past years have propelled me to take a bold step to further explore how students who fall into this category can be helped or supported outside school walls. Furthering my research through the family and community education concentration in the international educational development programme at Readers College will create a greater space for truth-telling, and healing for black, Latinx queers.<\/em><\/p>\nMy unreserved interest and commitment to racial injustice and towards exploring how museums reconcile critical disputes was my drive for coming to Washington D.C. to work with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). I carried out my duties effectively by honouring individuals who are victims of racial injustice in the United States. This was achieved by creating curricular materials for organizations and schools that regularly visit the D.C. museums.<\/em><\/p>\nMoreover, while marketing and curriculum development is in progress, I facilitated the visits regarding how Black Visitors may be interacting interpersonally and intimately.<\/em><\/p>\nEarlier, I had the opportunity to guide a Black North Carolinian family on a memorial visit. In the course of this visit, I was amazed at the volume of requests they made just to help them find or locate the names of potential kin lynched in Johnston country, North Carolina. Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t find any notable names. At this point, the shock the family experienced made them dumbfounded, and their grief and mourning turned into a whole moment of heavy silence that I came to acclimatize to. Oftentimes, I observe the shock families experience on reading about the evil that occurred in their time without having to see the history of racial injustice.<\/em><\/p>\nMoreover, during my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to read one of the works of Hope Jensen Leichter at Teachers College on community and families as educators. I developed an interest in finding how the family selects, appraises, criticizes, complements and transforms the museum experience. His ideas inspired me to create a permanent LGBTQ+ resource room at Helms College. This resource served as an archive for queer experiences. Furthermore, I collaborated with volunteers recently to open an LGBTQ+ resource centre that serves as a food pantry, health resources, and mentorship programmes.<\/em><\/p>\nRecently, I encountered a bisexual student Jane, who was not initially accepted by her parents. After a series of information and encouragement, they turned to accept their child, even to the point of accepting a pamphlet for allyship. Jane\u2019s story reminded me of my own experience as a child trying to come out from my hiding place. However, this gradual process of getting Jane’s parents to accept her motivates me to take up a study on effective programming. Such that will support and massively educate queer youth and their families through complex topics regarding gender and sexuality. Taking up this study at Teachers College will grant me the opportunity to partner with organizations such as the LGBT Center of New York, which engages museum exhibits and family support groups for a great family experience. Teachers College would grant me the opportunity to explore and develop my ethnographic and quantitative skills in finding out how community institutions support Black and Latinx queer youth. I also have an interest in working with professors like Lia Roberts in the education of indigenous children across Latin America, to further embrace my interest in how communities can unite and preserve their unique culture and heritage. I consciously seek to uphold my parents\u2019 model of community engagement to support LGBTQ+ youth who face closed doors, closed borders, and close-minded individuals.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2 Samples of a Good Statement of Purpose for International Scholarships: Most graduates who seek to further their studies at the master’s and PhD levels are often faced with the … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[120,301,300],"tags":[413,412,157],"class_list":["post-1529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scholarship","category-travel-abroad","category-work-abroad","tag-foreign-scholarship-sop","tag-statement-of-purpose-for-international-scholarship","tag-study-abroad"],"yoast_head":"\n
