STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Myself laxmi shrestha, a young, energetic, independent and


strong determined student targeting my aim with full sense of
responsibility. I am a resident of Sindupalchok, Duwachaur-03,
Nepal, and a second daughter of Mr. Tamar Bahadur Newar and
Mrs. Chandra Kumari Newar and was born on 17 th September
1991.
I completed my schooling from Shree Bal Sudhar MA.VI. in the
year
2008 with 59.88 percentage. From the early days of
education, I was very much interested in the field of
management. I joined Santwona Memorial Academy a very
renown college in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu and passed my
intermediate in 2010 with 60.10 percentage. And then joined
same college and completed BBS in 2013 with 57.64 percentage.
Being a Nepali citizen, English is not my primary language, I did
my English proficiency test, in which I scored an overall 5.5 in
each band .
After completion of my Bachelor Degree, I applied for job and was
appointed as an accountant in a well reputed company named
Alive saving and credit co-operative limited where I work from
15th April 2014 to till date.
Explaining about my work, my job description includes: depositing
cash, withdrawing cash, checking passbooks, making entries in
journal vouchers. During my tenure I was given lots of
opportunities to deal with different sorts of companies which built
my self-confident level. However, I feel in order to excel in my
carrier I need to learn more about the accounts then I decided to
pursue for my master degree .

I am planning to study accounting in Australia where I can get


quality education which is internationally accepted. Australia is
one of the best student destinations in the world with the third
highest number of international students after United States and
United Kingdom. I always felt I was short in the practical
application of the course I had previously studied and believe that
gap could be fulfilled If I am able to get practical and
contemporary education. I strongly believe education system in
Australia facilitates innovation, creativity and leadership.
Furthermore, Students of diverse culture from all over the globe
come together regardless of cast creed and color so as to
enhance my skill for smooth application and to obtain a greater
level of job opportunity in the future. I thought Australia would be
the best option for me.
And I choose Melbourne because it is a preferred city for many
overseas students and is safe, clean, friendly and multicultural
environment. Melbourne is the financial centre of Australia with
beautiful climate condition and qualitative lifestyle. And also there
are few friends which would be helpful at the initial phase of my
stay.
Through different education surveys, among many universities in
Australia, I have chosen Central Queensland University, where
international students are equally treated like national students,
and are provided with high skilled and qualified teaching
members. It is also the most affordable college in Australia which
is rated top 2 percent of world universities and number 1 for
teaching excellence. CQ University has a wide range of support
program for international students as life can be difficult for
overseas students as university has provided range of support
programs for the students to acclimatize with their new
environment as student advisors are placed in campuses for
queries to support. As compared to most of the universities the
fee structure is more economical. As the 20 percent scholarship

provided by CQU would certainly be the one of the reasons for


offshore students like me to be attracted towards studying in
CQU.
Accounting and finance have always been my chosen subjects.
Accounting is required right from the planning of a business or
venture to the formation, development and running of business.
Accounting cannot be confined only to business as we require
accounting in everything that we could possibly think about right
from governance of a country to a small thing as individual
shopping as accounting plays its role.
One of the major reasons for my delay of pursuing a masters
degree after my bachelor degree completion is because of the
high pressure in the office and the actual timing are full time of 9
am to 5 pm but the high demand of pressure would not allow me
to pursue my education as its normally not before 6 pm that we
get to finish our work. With limited time after office it would not
be possible to pursue education and the work at the same time.
However, the experience has proven to be valuable and I believe
this is the perfect time for me to continue my study.
After completing my MPA I see myself working in managerial level
in financial institutions basically top commercial banks(Example:
Nabil Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Nepal investment Bank)
and would like to be among the best bankers in Nepal. MPA would
also open up opportunities for me in multinational companies like
NCell, biggest private companies like CG, Golcha, and other well
established companies in Nepal.
My family-in-laws have been very supportive of my ambitions as
they are willing to sponsor my education. I would like to have my
husband accompany me during my stay in Australia during my
education because I get support and care during my stay in a new
and unfamiliar condition. As well as in my country Nepal a
married woman is not allowed to stay alone being apart from her

husband due to social taboos and culture. I have chosen Australia


to learn in-depth knowledge about accounting and will return to
my own country to implement the skills and knowledge that I shall
learn in Australia for further personal growth. And my family is
capable enough to support me financially during my study and
stay in Australia.
