Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean (Studies),
I am appealing study abroad for my winter semester of my third year of an honours program at Tel Aviv University.
It has always been a dream of mine to study abroad. I am a third year student majoring in Gender Studies. Although I am content with my studies at Queen¿¿s University, I believe that there is a lot for me to discover about myself in order to excel to my fullest potential. I believe that the best way to learn is through experience. I pride myself off being an adventurous person who enjoys trying new things and learning from each new experience. Studying away from home will provide me with the opportunity to develop my individuality and understanding of the world. Through leaving my comfort zone and familiarities, I will be able to acquire new advantageous life skills. I believe that Tel Aviv University would be an ideal institute for me to study abroad, for it offers various opportunities that can help me advance in academic, professional and personal life aspects.
Why Israel Israel is a country where education is of major importance. Being in such an environment will encourage me to continue taking my studies very seriously. Tel Aviv University has over 15,000 international students; this will allow me to meet people from all over the world. By entering a new community, I will be able to meet new people with different life experiences of which we can share and learn from one another. In terms of life experience ¿¿ Israel has a lot to offer; being a young, lively, religiously and culturally diverse country. If I am to study in Israel, I will take the opportunity to travel the country and visit its numerous historical sites. Coming from a Jewish background, I would also be happy to study in Israel because it will allow for me to learn more about my heritage and religion.
With a wide range of activities, a diverse student body, and a supportive faculty system, Tel Aviv University has created an environment of self-discovery. If granted the opportunity to attend this university, I would like to involve myself in campus life through engaging in different activities. In doing so, I will be able to form a sense of community and belonging outside of my academia. Moreover, I am excited to meet new people, join an atmosphere of spirit and be given the opportunity to form everlasting friendships.
Although I am studying gender studies for my undergraduate degree, I am not exactly sure what career path I would like to follow. I believe that studying at TAU will allow for me to explore new interests that will, in turn, help me decide what to do in order to excel to my fullest potential both academically and professionally. Furthermore, the study abroad program will allow me to fully immerse myself in a new environment that will allow for autonomy and personal development. It would be an honor to be granted this incredible opportunity.
Thank you,
Tali Benaroch
