PERSONAL STATEMENT My life goals are to make an impact on social change through the knowledge gained in my degrees in adult and comparative education since I have witnessed how diverse and creative people are but when it comes to problems, we tend to face similar challenges. I have always believed that most of the world's problems can be solved through proper education, and that education is the right way to restore order and find sustainable solutions for our obstacles. Believing in that, I was very keen on pursuing my higher education in order to gain the proper tools to try to make a difference in this world through educating young, promising minds. The very enriching experience I lived while I was doing my postgraduate degrees in Hong Kong and Europe have only convinced me more than ever that I am on the right track, and education is indeed the cornerstone that our lives and civilization should be built on.
