Motivation letter“We animals are the most complicated and perfectly designed machinery in the known universe”, as Richard Dawkins states in the preface to the first edition of the most famous and read book “The Selfish Gene”, this statement is the best reason why I chose Biology subject after my school years. It's all about life and complexity. To study life is to study the unlikely phenomenon. Also, with biology, I felt that I would be able to get hands-on interaction with nature to explore the mysteries that I still enjoy doing. I am Suraj Narayan Shrestha, originally from Damauli, Tanahun, Nepal; it is located 150 km west of the capital, Kathmandu, in Nepal. I completed school in my hometown and then moved to the capital for further studies and a better future. My family belongs to a farming community and we were a larger family with six sisters and two brothers above me as I am their youngest child. Even though we are illiterate and have a large family, my family has always focused on academic excellence in us and about half of us are graduates and the rest are graduates. My mother can't read and write a single letter, but she can still calculate basic math faster than me, which inspires me for my academic achievement and intellectual development that "Practice Makes Perfect." After a year's break in 2000, due to the death of my father, I managed to overcome the grief to strengthen my academic career and continued my graduate studies to pursue my dream of innovative changes in the field of biology. I chose Microbiology as my specialization. for my bachelor's degree, microorganisms have always fascinated me due to their existence since primordial times, and I'm still halfway through the paper and, potential use of the information for developing specific antimicrobial agents against disease with its target on the wall mobile phone. This is how I became interested in the microbiology department of your university. The great Richard Feynman once said, “The things that have been discovered are output, gold, the pay you get for all the disciplined thinking and hard work. The work is not done for the sake of an application. You do it for the excitement of what you discover." I find myself belonging to the same school of thought to some extent. However, during my stay as a graduate student, I wish to engage in research work on microbial pathogenesis and disseminate ideas that I would have developed during my academic career. Contributing some progressive ideas to this vast body of knowledge would be more than fulfilling. Suraj Narayan Shrestha
