“If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us”, said Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. Knowledge and innovation always thrills me and my thirst for more urges me to earn a Master’s degree. When introduced to the field of Computer Science & Programming in my high school, it came to my understanding that they are the dawn of a new era to solve most of the real world problems and bring out modernisms. This enhanced my curiosity to learn more about computers and urged me to become an engineer with flying colors.

...g interest to learn the art of handling business operations effectively and inventively should not to be restricted, which is why I believe I should pursue my Masters in Management Information Systems. I have always wished to be a part of the operational and improvement activities in an organization rather than focusing only on developing software applications.

Given a chance to perform, I would confidently prove myself to be a worthy student and hence become a successful professional.
It is evident that people have different and unique desires when it comes to career interests. Therefore, this desire is the driving motive for people in their career growth and development. Perhaps, the first step towards selecting a satisfying career is to find out the things that are exciting and a source of joy. I have always found business management an interesting career option because my ultimate objective is to become among the leading businesspersons.

Business management career is an interesting career, because it is one of the ways that an individual can become their own boss through establishing a business and seeing it through to success. In this particular research, my focus was based on Apple Inc (Hitt, Hoskisson & Ireland, 2013). It is one of the leading companies in the mobile phones and computer industry. Its success is accredited to the manner in which management has been handled within the company.

“If you can write it and you can say it, you can do it.” In a single sentence Professor Eric Claville succeeded in attracting me to the study of public administration. Sitting in Introduction to Public Policy class, I was instantly fascinated by the idea that through effective communication I could improve policies and programs to better serve the public. Professor Claville’s lessons enabled me to think analytically as I developed a scholarly policy brief entitled “Enforcing a State-wide Texting While Driving Law in Arizona”. Soon, I was faced with the notion that public administration was not only an agent for change, but a tool to fulfill my passion. It is a possible pathway to take on a leadership role that would make a difference for disadvantaged groups.

The theory I find myself agreeing with the most is the constructivist approach because it is a balance between teacher and student. As a future teacher, I feel it important to have some say in the running of my classroom but I also want the students to feel it is also their classroom. The constructivist approach allows the teacher and students to work as a team but under the direction of the teacher. The teacher provides direction in how the classroom environment should be established, what content will be covered, and conflict resolution. The students are still given options to choose from in each of these category so they feel in control of the learning experience and environment.

I am very glad to apply for admission in the Master Degree in international business and export management offered at your University (IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems).
