Statement of Purpose
Anyone can be an engineer with a degree, but a good engineer needs to be a motivated failure. As Zig Ziglar said, “Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” I have failed before, but I did not stop there; nevertheless, I worked hard to make my dreams come alive as a good civil engineer. I have done the hard work, and I have succeeded in getting my bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia after a long pedagogic journey. And yet, notwithstanding all that hard work, I am still not an excellent engineer I know I could become in the future. I am still full of the urge to reach my full potential, as a consequence, I want to step the next step. Consequently, I am honored to apply …show more content…
Because the fact that, your school is ranked high in civil engineering among the nation 's top civil engineering schools. Furthermore, the department has world-class professors that I would be honored to call them my mentors. Ultimately, I believe that a sound future in a sound school, and I believe that a Master degree from the University of Florida will make my professional future a prospective one. In regards to skills and motivation, I am a hard working student, and I always been since I was a child. I had to be a self-taught student through all my school years because my parents were illiterates, the immigrants from Morocco who went to Saudi Arabia as proletariat family. I did not possess the privileges that most of my peers in my school possessed, nevertheless, no access to private tutors nor top–notch technology, but I had passion and desire to be better than my uneducated family. Furthermore, in the future, I do not want my children to suffer from not having a well-educated family. I always had a high capacity for memorizing and understanding many subjects from many dimensions. As for motivation, my journey throughout getting my Bachelor degree in civil engineering was a daily desire to be the best, do the best and never stop. My first encounter with motivating myself even when everyone doubted me. Was after the end of the first semester in the university when I was a first-year Biology student. Back then, I asked myself, is this something I can do for the rest of my life? The answer was no. On the other hand, everyone told me if you want to go to engineering school from biology school, you will face a lot of obstacles and you have to start from the beginning. Then I side to self; you have to be an engineer and you can do it even it was not an easy plan. The first obstacle was in the university regulation. Indeed, if I want to go to the
