International Physics personal

statement Example
Since infancy, I have been intrigued as to how anything I came into contact with worked; however, the
explanations I received were always either too vague or beyond my knowledge at the time, I have came
to realize that the keyword for all my questions was physics, where the most complex phenomena of the
universe can be explained by fitting small pieces of the puzzle into a structured theory. My passion for
mathematics is another factor in my choice of physics as a degree subject. I find complex problems in
both physics and mathematics very challenging, and this enables me to embrace physics as more than
simply a major or a degree, but as a personal passionate.

Due to my school's offer of Core mathematics only in the AS and A2 level I am not able to study further
pure maths in school, and therefore I'm self studying it at home. This would allow me to grasp the
mathematical concepts in topics like the standard model which inspire me and motivate me to work
harder; hence I approach the difficult most challenging questions with enthusiasm and an open mind.

I participated in extra activities where I did practicals like measuring radioactivity, & power generation.
Additionally I have taught extra classes for weaker students, helping them to achieve higher grades, and I
have being elected as a prefect at school.

In summer 2008 I managed to seize the opportunity of shadowing a radiologist in the radiology
department at the International Medical Centre, I was also given the opportunity to observe the planning
and modelling stages of a new building where I attended the construction site. Watching the application of
the laws of physics being carried out before my eyes was fantastic and an extra motivator for me.

Beyond scholastic matters, I'm interested in activities that require thinking, such as computer
programming, website designing, and scientific researching. I also enjoy reading, solving complicated
questions, helping people, and "tamseer", the art of wearing an Omani turban plus playing table tennis
and swimming.

I am preparing myself to do my AS exams in the January session 2009 and the A2 exams in the
May/June session. I am very optimistic to achieve the high grades expected for me by my teachers.I also
managed to represent the Sultanate in an international youth convention at the Seychelles. I was the
head delegate. Moreover I have handled the Coordination of many charity gatherings. I am as well the
MISMUN coordinator and Head delegate of the 2009 MUN delegation team.

In 2006, I was awarded the "International Student Award for the Middle East region" by the Council of
International Schools, and during my scholastic years, I have been awarded the Certificate of Academic
Superiority, Certificate of Merit with distinction and Principal's Honour Roll with High Distinction almost
every year.

I intend to continue with my post-graduation studies for the future, in the fields of either Nuclear or
quantum physics, and then continue to get a PhD. Thus I will be able to benefit other students at
universities by being a lecturer to earn a living, in addition to conducting my own research in my field of
physics in the same university or research centre to achieve my ultimate goal of doing something major in
the world.
