IT'S OKAY Itis okay to miss someone, miss someone who is not right for you, butat that moment gave you what you needed, Maybe it was the words that touched you where you thought nobody understood you, Maybe il was the touch that you cherished that around you, the emptiness that was filled up. Someone you could talk to, someone who listened. Maybe that person didn't understand you, maybe the void wasn't filled in the right way, maybe the beautiful moments were not enough lo make the dark sides forget. But at that moment, what you needed was what filled you void, right or wrong. You loved the person. because of his or her beautiful sides, the beautiful memorics that you have buill, And it’s okay lo acknowledge that il might have a consolation, a dream, a memory, a been nothing more tha hip that did not meet your expectations, tionship in which you did not match, a good hope, with a painful outcome. ILis okay when your expectations, your dreams and your hope lead to disappointment, painful, difficult and sad, but okay. [tis okay, because this means that you have tried il, that you have learned from it, that you make each other an experience richer, You get up again, you lake your experience with you, you look at yourself, and you focus, you focus on yourself, your next encounter, a new encounter and a promising future that lic ahead.

Do I make a difference? That remains a question, but | like to try. And this is why: Along the way 1 found out what works and what doesn't work for me. | know my low points, my weaknesses and | know better than anyone how I work. As I always say, and it is and remains a cliché, treating another as you would like to be treated yourself is the key. Unfortunately, I cannot control how somcone else thinks, how they treat me and in what situations that has brought me. A lot has happened so that I have lost hope often enough, confidence has been damaged and I have often stood on the brink of collapse. Yet with time and awareness I have found my way back and [ have kept my goal in mind. I want to show who [ am, not how somcone else presents me or treats me. I want to share how I think and how things can be improved, I want to help those who have experienced the same thing, I want to help make this world a better place, at Ieast | want to try. When I was in a worse stale, it was always something that was missing. Someone who understood me, who felt what I felt, who could articulate what ‘was going on inside of me, somcone who took care of me, someone who could guide me through the search and name of all the chaos inside of me. But when that person was not there, I only had two options, and I chose to fight. I wanted to discover who I was, what caused my thoughts, my questions and my emptiness, and how I could fill, name and express it, how I could find myself in the chaos, and make the chaos in the world change. I went through a development and growth that I never envisaged until a few years ago. 1am an introvert, | am HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), someone with an extra sense, I see, feel and think deeply, intense and often. This has always been something that got in my way, and what I am uncertain about, I feel more vulnerable, because when you feel and experience everything so intensely, it can cause you enormous damage. I learned my lessons in this and formed my vision and passion. I want to help others see and feel that things can be different. Because it is possible, as long as you are willing to look at yourself with all pure and genuine intentions and to express this.Examples of Personal Statements: Statement 1 My interest in science dates back to my years in secondary school, where | excelled in physics, chemistry, and maths. When | was a secondary school, | took a first-year calculus course at a local college (such an advanced-level class was not available in secondary school) and earned an A. It seemed only logical that | pursue a career in electrical engineering. When | began my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of engineering courses, all of which tended to reinforce and solidity my intense interes! in engineering. I've also had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the humanities and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live. In the realm of engineering, | have developed a special interest in the field of laser technolagy and have even been taking a graduate course in quantum electronics, Among the 25 or so students in the course, | am the sole undergraduate, Another parlicular interest of mine is electromagnetics, and last summer, when | was a technical assistant at a world-famous local lab, | leamed about its many practical applications, especially in relation to microstrip and antenna design. Management at this lab was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask that | return when | graduate. Of course, my plans following completion of my current studies are to mova directly into graduate work toward my master’s in science. Alter | earn my master’s degree, | intend to start work on my Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Later | would like to wor the area of research and development for private industry. It is in R & D that | believe | can make the greatest contribution, utilising my theoretical background and creativity as.a scientist. Jam very aware of the excellent reputation of your university, and my conversations with several of your alumni have served to deepen my interest in attending. | know that, in addition to your excellent faculty, your computer facililies are among the best in the country. | hope you will give me the privilege of continuing my studies at your fine institution,
