Statement of Purpose

I have written an entry about this before. Remember? The first time I applied for (and got rejected) for graduate school? I didn’t forget….

Right now I sit at the Starbucks down the street from our house. I am trying to finish up the application I reluctantly started a few weeks ago. I say reluctantly because I am reluctant to be rejected again. It’s not a great feeling and I sure have had a lot of it in the past year. But anyway…

I applying to Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. They seem like a really good university and have a masters program for a Masters in Science Education. That’s what I’ve decided I want to do. I want to be a health professor. I think I can make the most of that career and it perfectly blends my love of health information dissemination and student affairs. I think I’d be really good at it and really enjoy it. So here goes nothing!

This statement of purpose is already filled with more heart and more passion than the previous one I wrote. This one sounds more like a blog entry I’d write on here, rather than a resume listing all of my strengths and work experience. That sure says something about this program as opposed to the other one, don’t you think?

I’m putting it all out there and not holding back. I pray my passionate essay is good enough for the admissions office and that they see how badly I want (and need) this.
