I came to America from Nigeria with my family when I was 18, leaving behind a country
that was in the midst of recovery after an apocalyptic civil war that cost over a million lives
and saw our government changing hands time and again through military coups. While
many in Nigeria at the time saw emigration to another country to further oneself as being a
sign of opulence and wealth, this was not the case with us. My parents, hard working,
honorable, wonderful people, were poor and illiterate, having never attended school. I
resolved that my parents’ sacrifices for me would never be in vain. I adopted their
standards of how to conduct yourself in life, to be disciplined, persistent in your pursuits
and above all to work hard at everything you do.
While in high school, I read “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale.
This book spoke to me, and the reading of it was a defining moment, particularly the
development of my own maxims for success in life: “You can, if you think you can.”
Seven simple words. I wrote those words down in bold letters and set them beside my
bed. To this day, I have lived this motto, never accepting or listening to others who tried to
reign in my aspirations, never giving in to the naysayers. Whenever I can, I tell people that
they have no limitations except those that they choose to impose upon themselves.
I worked for five years as an accounting administrative assistant before I came to the
conclusion that this was not my life’s work. I had no passion for this type of work, and I
wanted work that would offer me the chance to learn. It occurred to me that no other job
offers greater opportunity for life-long learning than teaching. Thus, I resolved to become
an educator. My research interests include, but are not limited to, Urban Education in
America, particularly bridging the alleged educational achievement gap. The question
immediately comes up, does this gap truly exist or is it a synthetic concept, created to
achieve the aims of the author or whom the author represents, a special interest group,
politician, or leader in education. It is my aim to explore this concept and critically examine
its validity. This concept has been a part of discussion for some time now, fifty years, in
fact, and can be traced to Brown vs. the Board of Education. Ever since the desegregation
of schools in the United States, there has been this issue of the achievement gap between
the races, which was later shown to be at least partially socio-economically based.

For nearly a decade, I have maintained a conceptual continuity in my professional career. I have dedicated myself to the education of Los Angeles’ teens as a credentialed high
school classroom teacher. This devotion, coupled with my refined approach to my work even outside of the classroom has made me a successful, efficient and thorough
teacher. While working for Los Angeles’ school districts, I have achieved a high level of cultural competency, working alongside other educators from around the country with
differing heritages. I come from Nigeria, yet consider myself a Nigerian-American, and bring with me a heritage that I am proud of. Moving to L.A. from Omaha, Nebraska, I
have lived and worked in a city which has large populations of African-Americans and Hispanics. As an educator, I recognize the need to work with not only students, but their
parents, as well, creating relationships which will aid in my students’ success. Through these relationships I have been exposed to the rich tapestry of diverse cultural
backgrounds.As a successful educator, I have mastered the basics, devising and planning daily lesson plans, selecting and utilizing appropriate materials, teaching aids, and
composing demonstrations that will effectively convey the most fundamental concepts in an assortment of subjects. My aim has always been to provide explanations that are
clear and have long-challenged myself to develop increasingly creative approaches to the educational process. I go the extra mile with my students, and never shy away from the
possibility that some may need further attention or tutoring.
My own higher education began with obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of XXXX, a school with an excellent national
reputation. I became interested in Urban Studies at this point, as I had literally lived through the racial tensions of the 1970s. Indeed, it was in 1976 that Omaha first began court-
ordered integrated busing. I completed my Master's Degree in Urban Studies at XXXX University, and later re-located to East Bay, California, where my teaching career began.
I want very much to attend XXXX University because it has a reputation over 80 years in the making. Secondly, XXXX is dedicated to graduate study, specifically. It stands to
reason that with 80 years of experience in only graduate study, this makes for a singular and excellent academic experience. The reputation of the university is not merely for
one or two subjects or one particular school, but for providing elite education in the field that I want to explore further: the social sciences. The teacher to student ratio is
excellent, with class sizes at an average of 25 students to professor making for an intimate experience, and plenty of room for personalized, one-on-one discussion. The School
of Educational Studies represents further specialization within this framework of excellence in teaching. I thank you for considering my application to your esteemed program.

| We are proud to be active participants in the creation of a more just, global redistribution of academic resources. We wish to participate in the fomentation of the kind of academic community that fully represents all ethnic, national, or political groups that have been historically marginalized or oppressed. |
Why Our Prices are So Reasonable Compared to Our Competition.
Helping people with their Personal Statement or Statement of Purpose (different phrases for the same thing) is big business on the Internet.
No one really knows for sure since it is not regulated in any way; but it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of students seek help each
year with their Statement. This is because advanced study is so central to what they want for their future, and the future of their children. A
well written Statement often results in scholarship awards of tens of thousands of dollars—in other words, it is generally a good investment
for both the long and short term, a win/win situation. As a result, there are now hundreds of services providing Personal Statement of Purpose
assistance on the Internet and all have invested huge amounts of resources in an attempt to become competitive and stay that way.

We are able to keep our prices as reasonable as possible primarily because our writing team is based in the developing world: China, India, Bolivia, etc. For one reason or
another, family, the beach, economic living, working with a non-profit organization, etc.; all of our writers are ex-pats with advanced degrees who choose to live primarily in
the developing world. Some of our writers are activists, others social workers; some are semi-retired. We are a team of North American (U.S. and Canadian) and British
writers trained in a variety of areas including Business, Law, Nursing, Public Administration, Education, Social Work, Engineering, and Biology. We share in common the
fact that we enjoy helping others achieve their dreams. It is also important to note that our writers work for less than professional writers in the US or Europe, since we pass
our developing world savings on to you--our client. And our General Manager assures you of state-of-the-art quality at the same time that you receive maximum value for
your investment..
Our prices are much more reasonable than our major competitors; www.accepted.com, for example, based in New York, charges $650.00 if you are willing to wait, and
$850.00 if you are in a hurry. Thus, we invite you to become part of a growing portion of those purchasing assistance with their Personal Statement of Purpose on the
Internet who are very glad that they turned to www.statementsofpurpose.com to take advantage of the great value of our full, interview based service. Most people miss out
because they do not know what is important to put into their personal statement—and what is not. And this can be expensive because universities are generally very wealthy
institutions that give away billions of dollars of scholarship money to graduate students—but only to those that have very well-written Statements. It is best to seek
professional help and no one is better at this than we are. They just charge more money.

I am most engaged with the question of how to address this educational achievement gap. What creative
remedies can be developed? Money is oftentimes one of the largest issues. One could argue that while a
bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act is in place, that continued avoidance of federal income taxes by America’s
largest corporations is tying the hands of the federal government. What kind of expenditure would be
necessary, per student, to remedy the achievement gap? Is it really just a question of money. I want to explore
these complex questions.
Perhaps it is the digital divide which is the crucial, deciding factor. If a school system simply cannot offer a
student body the requisite information technology, how are they to compete in the national arena, in this golden
age of information? This would indicate that it is not the fault of the teachers, nor the students, but the
technology that is lacking in school systems. The digital divide spills over into library systems and even the
home. A school with online education tracking software for the parent is wonderful technology, but how is a
parent who does not have a computer or Internet access to utilize such a tool? And a library system that
charges for printouts is a hardship for children or parents with little or no money. These are the sorts of issues
that need to be addressed and resolved if socioeconomically depressed inner city school children are to
succeed. We live in a society that speaks of equal opportunities. Students need to be given an equal opportunity
for success.
For nearly a decade, I have experienced the joys of classroom teaching. The interpersonal interaction with
young adults is overwhelmingly and intrinsically rewarding. It is my belief that I have exhausted every possible
avenue of promotion within my current career. I have met every challenge over the years with an open mind
and increasing professionalism and effectiveness. But I want more from my career, and I need new challenges,
which is why I hope to be accepted to your program.
I have long been an advocate for young adults since they bear the brunt of many stigmas. Yet I have found that
being a classroom teacher limits my abilities of an advocate for young adults. I want to do more for teens and it
is my belief that I can do more, and on a larger scale, by entering into a course of study that focuses on the
issues of administrative leadership and social justice in education for K-12 students and beyond. A doctoral
degree in urban leadership will equip me with the requisite tools to be able to tackle the most fundamental
problems in the American school system, going to the roots of the problems that are literally tying the hands of
many dedicated teachers in inner city schools. With my extensive background as an inner city educator, and
solid foundation in urban studies, this is a natural progression for me. My drive and my passion will lead me to
achieve these ideals, and a doctorate will open doors for me to work more effectively for the betterment of our
educational systems.
