It is my belief that learning is a continuous process that does not end. As such, from the undergraduate programs people should seek the graduate programs so that they can increase their knowledge and skills. Additionally, a graduate program offers an opportunity to the candidates to master their own field of specialization and acquire new skills, which will help shape the world that they live in.

I believe and trust that research is a very important tool towards the innovation of new methods as well as the modification of the existing ones.

Therefore, it is my trust that getting a chance in this university will help me makes innovations that will change the nature of things and bring about new ideas to the scientific world.
