(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 certifications in the former.
Academically, I aspire to be at the top in my field. Therefore I do not want to limit myself to the current degree, instead, I want to explore the vastness of my field 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 definitely boost up my creativity.

Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #3
(UGRAD FALL 2017 Candidate)
Being from a remote area of Baluchistan it was very difficult for my family to establish ourselves in different fields 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 finally 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. Besides all these activities I am among brilliant students of my batch.
In the end, I would say that I am a medical student and I understand limitations being faced by our country especially in remote areas like mine. If I get a chance to visit developed nations and understand their methodology of medical care, I would be able to help my people better. The critical concern of 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 finally escaped imprisonment of its predefined 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 first-hand experience of interacting in diversified 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 field 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 reflected in my intermediate choices. My interest in the human body led me to pursue Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at Intermediate, which significantly improved my study of diseases, confidence 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 proficiency, leadership, competence, good teamwork abilities and communication skills
Besides admiring USA’s education and greenery, having my studies in the country having advanced and up-to-date technology would be my wish to have familiarized with and a chance to meet with USA’s students along the way and to know about their nature, culture, customs, and skills to show them ours would be an honour beyond words.
Global UGRAD Personal Statement (Medical Student) #6
(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 fight gender discrimination. And due to lack of financial 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 confidence. 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 finally 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 confidence, 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 rehabilitation of earth quake and flood affected areas of Pakistan.
I believe in the power of youth and I consider youth as the symbol of success for a society. I m the youth activist and have attended different seminars, workshops, and conferences for the development and 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 field. 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 efficient 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 financial 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 biggest motivation in my life.
I completed my matriculation from St. Mary’s School, Quetta, always securing the first position in my class. I went for my H.S.S.C to Tameer-i-Nnau College, Quetta, one of the most prestigious institutes of 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.
Global UGRAD Personal Statement #10
(UGRAD SPRING 2017 Candidate)
“Talent deserves a chance” is what I was taught in my High School and still echoes around my ears several times a day. I opened my eyes in the darkest Scenario one can imagine. Since my childhood, I had the quest for knowledge but low financial status tried its best be a Hurdle. It was not far when I was one of the selected 04 candidates from Baluchistan for five years 100% Scholarship Program of O and A levels. I am a fast learner, highly motivated and open to experience new cultures and traditions.
Since my early days, I wished to be a Good human Doctor. At our college I am a part of a local Student organization, raise funds for patients with cancer or with any other chronic disease, donate blood frequently and try to heal and cure the society’s pain and sufferings. Once my anatomy teacher said, “Anyone can be a good Doctor but it is Difficult to be a good human doctor” that is what I am trying to be from the first day I stepped in the premises of Bolan Medical College.
I want to pursue in the field of Internal Medicine from a highly recognized Universities in US. That will help me in treating the patients with the new effective means not yet Introduced in my country.
There are a number of reasons I want to study in US the most favorite one is that every aspect of medicine (course, equipment, practice ) is up to date which is in contrast with my country especially Baluchistan. US homes many cultures and traditions, interacting with them will help me in presenting a positive outlook of my culture and in the same manner, I will clench the positive aspects of their culture. This opportunity will help me in the field of medicine, academically and socially.
