  55. Addise says:

    MOTIVATION STATEMENT
    Since I was in Senior High School, I have believed, Geography is an important factor in a life. All human activities in several fields such as economics, physics, social and others will run well if they are cited in a good Geographic framework. This circumstance stimulated me to attend faculty of Geography. I choose Human Geography as my specialization even though at this time, there weren’t many people know about human geography and few students choose population as their specialization.
    I had numerous opportunities to do many activities in human geography. I had chances to become a lecturer in geography and development course, Agricultural development Expert.
    Presently, I work at the post of population Analyst. My responsibilities are teaching, conducting research individually or in a team. Advocacy works/ IEC/
     Follow up and monitoring
     Evaluating
     Supportive services
     Feedback provision
     Socio-economic data analysis
     Services of coordination, following mainstreaming population affairs in sector development plan
     Conducting short term researches
    Though my undergraduate programmed has given me a strong background in the basic geographic thoughts especially human geography, this is not enough for me to be a professional lecturer at Universities. I have to continue my study to enrich my skills and broaden my knowledge.
    Currently, my country is rapidly growing in all multi directions. To contribute my effort, there are many needs of Medical geographers, demographer’s agricultural experts and economic development professionals and Teachers. To attend my next educational level, there are number of limitations in my country financially and lack of Advisors.

    Master of or PhD in social science is needed in Ethiopia because of the following reasons:
    1. To improve socially modernity and cultural development as well as equal distribution of resources and empowering disadvantage groups.
    2. I will fill the masters/PhD scarcity and strengthen the sustainable development of Ethiopia.
    3. Considering all factors above. I believe that the chosen study will benefit Indonesia in general
    I consider myself to be a good candidate for social sciences stream Scholarship because I am young and transiting to Adult age, energetic, hardworking, visionary, and motivated person who believes that I can do something for the benefit of my country to which I have been working. I did my best with all maximum efforts I could give for my institution. But this is not enough.
    Frankly, I am not satisfied yet with what I did. I believe that I can do much better if I am trained and developed through a Master or PhD in host University. .
