Personal Statement of Purpose for entering into a Graduate Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Program

So often, we forget what came before, but never what comes after our defining moments. For years, I studied Islam and the Quran, and an entire year with the New Testament. It was during my Hebrew Bible class: my eyes were opened to the distinct and causal connections, not just with similarities, but also the differences. I felt a profound connection with the Scriptures, a fire lit within me, and my feet were firmly placed on the path to a greater understanding of Near Eastern and Judaic studies, as well as interfaith dialogue and peace studies.

Earning an MA in NJES will enable me to bring a number of my goals, ambitions - my dreams - to fruition, namely returning to [the Middle East], bringing my solid grounding in NJES with me, and serving a university and burgeoning students as a professor. Moreover, this would be fulfilling not just my own ideals, but my scholarship agreement with the [Middle Eastern country] Government, who, to my great pride, have sponsored me this far in my academic journey, one that has taken me across the world to ****U and to my mind the finest education possible in NJES, and Biblical Studies.

I bring with me to ****U a solid foundation in religious studies, one that began when I was a girl. Indeed, since 19**, I have been immersed in religious education. Over the years, while ***** is my native language, I have proven that I am proficient enough in Classical Arabic to read the Quran and enough Koine Greek to read Acts and the Gospels; I am continuing to increase my ability in Greek. This summer, I have set a rigorous schedule for myself to refine my grasp of Hebrew. Additionally, I have a working knowledge of the Ottoman language and Persian.

Proof of my ability to excel in a graduate program can be found in my having completed most of my Psychology of Religion graduate degree, of which I am completing my written thesis. This program built sensibly on my undergraduate foundation in Islamic Studies and Christian Theology, and have given me extensive insights, of which I would love to share with my fellow, and accomplished ****U classmates. Additionally, my academic work has been decorated by numerous scholarships, and earning a very high rank among all of ********'s graduate students.

While I am proud of my accomplishments, I have gained a great deal of personal and spiritual satisfaction from my social work outside the classroom, my volunteering with children and adults, bringing an appreciation of Islam within many interfaith and intercultural dialogue organizations. This work inspired me, with the help of the Turkish community, to establish programs and gatherings, a compilation of seven years of practical experiences giving back to my community.

Aside from my aptitude in languages, I feel that I would complement ****U' student body and NJES program well since I have both a Middle Eastern and Western approach to my studies. My homeland of ********** occupies an important place among Muslim countries, and my connection with the Ministry of ****** ******* has given me invaluable experience in the area of religious education and the division of politics and religion.

Researching schools proved repeatedly that ****U stands out amongst the numerous schools offering NJES. The more I know of ****U, the more I see that turning to ****U is more than simply a logical choice, but a natural one for my further education. Do Not Plagiarize.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
