Personal statement

Hi

My name is Amanda, am applying for kgsp undergraduate this year, I need help with my personal statement

The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world unfortunately, in my country it is not as developed as in some nations. I live in a country that faces a lot of political, socio-economic and economic problems and in spite of all its heartbreaking attractions in my country, the number of tourists and cultural that has been diminished. As a person from the younger generation, due to lack of investment in the Nigerian tourism sector and the drive to improve this sector in Nigeria inspired me to chose to study tourism in south Korea, south Korea is ranked among the top countries that is most visited by tourists in the world. With the help of media south Korea have been able to make their unique culture go global, in order worlds captivating the hearts of millions by their culture, with the help of media and national characters it has been able to boost its tourism and globalize its culture. It has always been my hope to study tourism management in south Korea to have a touch of its unique culture, and also explore their culture within its natural environment. with the help of kgsp, I would be able to be a tour operator, that will engage in arranging tours for individuals in my home country, south Korea and also in other countries which will be able to foster a good relationship between this countries and also help in spreading of the Korea rich culture around the globe.
I belong to a Christian family,, we are a peace loving family, my father was an engineer and my mom was a nurse but I lost them during my gender age.my aunty has always been my greatest motivation because she has always been supportive and encourage me when I faced a lot of obstacles. I strongly believe that keeping a positive mental attitude and passion towards any goal, opens up many possibilities. My insatiable thirst for knowledge made me to enroll into the university of Nigeria Nsukka after my high school to study history of which am in my finals and would be graduating this year. During the course of my study I became more interested in improving the tourism sector of my country and so I choose to study tourism. It is my hope to be involved in the development of the tourist centers in Nigeria, so as to attract tourists to Nigeria, as south Korea also attracts tourist around the globe.
I completed my high school at daughters of divine love junirorate, currently I am in university of Nigeria Nuskka with which I will be graduating this year. History stirred up my interest in the field of tourism. The desire for exposure and deeper knowledge in the field is my drive to apply for tourism at ( university). In my course of studying I became a member of the rotary international club. Rotary club is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. Rotary international have districts all over the world even in south Korea. With the help of rotary international in Nigeria we were able to put an end to polio in Nigeria. With the help of the club I was able to visit some tourist centers in Nigeria. It excites me to engage in activities that are challenge my problem solving ability. I was able to participate in a skill acquisitions program in which I was able to teach people how to knit and also how to prepare Nigerian local dishes. This activities was necessary as a result of wealth creation and crime reduction.
I am deeply motivated by the prospects of learning the Korean rich culture. The kgsp gives me the opportunity to have a life long expertise with the friendly Korean people, together with their natural environments. My country Nigeria share some history in economic growth of south Korea and also trading patterns. presently, Korea has helped in bounds of accelerated economic development and that it is an inspiration to my country. This is the chance for me to understand and learn the Korean culture of globalism and future development.
I chose Korea because it is the destination for technology and tourism. The Korean government has clear focus on its tourist industry in order to attract tourist from all over the world who come to Korea to see the tourist centers and also learn their rich culture. The Korean wave has led to impressive impacts for the entertainment industry, tourism industry and Koreas image. Korean tourism industry has seen a huge influx since the beginning of the Korean wave, as there was a success of 50% increase in Taiwanese tourists in 2004 when compared to 2003. This truly reflects Korea to be the top world leaders in tourists attractions and assures good quality education as well as cultural exposure.
