Personal Statement I think some of my previous experiences related to social activities will be an added advantage in my attempts for obtaining

a graduation in history. Besides, I have a non-commissioned officer diploma from a one year school in the Norwegian navy and been a boot-camp sergeant for six months. My experience as a leader of a social club for youth and the two leadership classes I handled, have also impelled me to pursue my studies with history. The leadership and team-working experiences I acquired while participating in the school play for two years in upper secondary school, and later producing it in the third year have filled in me confidence enough to conduct such programs in future. I have obtained traits such as perseverance, curiosity, earnestness and good work ethic. I am highly motivated, focused, and dedicated to be a promising student of history. My fascination towards history has also prompted me to subscribe a monthly History magazine, though I am from a small country like Norway. As Scott Reed has rightly observed choosing a goal and sticking to it is capable of changing everything and I believe that my admission to the history department is the first step towards achieving my goal.
