Editing personal statement

Respected admission committee,

Since I was young Art and Design are my passion in life and I have always seen my future career path heading towards Art because I have maintained a deep interest in different types of art and mostly in painting and drawing especially in high school. During my life I have always been uncertain about what is my field of study will be other than drawing, due to the fact that I am good at math and solving problems as well. But with time I found out that architecture combines all these aspects of my personality, so I decided to pursue my education in the field of architecture, as I believe it is the mother of art or in other words, is considered as the most known of all art forms. My personality and skills are most suitable with this Major, when I work on something I am passionate about I can do the ultimate effort in order to complete it in the best way and at the top level without any sort of feel of strain or stress so this will help me a lot in future if get accepted in your university.

Architecture fascinates me from a long time a go. Whenever I look out of the window car I always keep my eyes focusing in buildings along with their details and structure, wondering how they started up from the scratch, how much time they took to be built, and most importantly how their design was formed? These questions all over the time were asked in my mind, but then I made my decision and realized that this is how my field should be, this is my goal in life and this is the only path that I will be good at and achieve a lot more than the ordinary achievements. Eventually this decision led me to think about my two major dreams in life, the first one is to be a daughter whose parents are proud of her education and career and that would not be achieved if I choose a normal university that doesn’t shape me and polish my skills full enough to be ready and equipped to go for my ideal career. Second dream that turned out to be my goal so far is I want to be remarkable person that her name will be recognized whenever her achievements are told by people. I know that Westminster is the right place for me to start off and seek my dreams to achieve them and bring them to life. Westminster is my stage to stand out and explore my passion deeply and soon professionally so that in end I end up with developing new skills and interests.

I have a clear vision in my life, and I direct path to be followed. Once I will be graduating from your university I’ll be ready to start my real mission of becoming what I want. I’ll continue my master’s degree in architecture and environmental studies. One huge goal that I’ll work on hardly to achieve it, is designing novel pattern buildings in addition of locally buildings that people find them exciting to look at. I am sure that I will be able to so because I believe in my artistic mind and skills along with my ability of mathematical I have never been certain about my goals and interest like this before and that is because of the Art appreciation course that I took as a general. Since that time I knew my passion, my goals and future career.

I have graduated from high school in 2012 with a GPA of 4.86/5. Since my primary goal after graduation was to study abroad I stayed home for one year to improve my English language at the highest level. Accordingly, I went to the Canadian create center. But afterwards, I had some family issues in which they prevented me from studying abroad to achieve my goals and I lost my chance to pursue my bachelor degree in the second year after my graduation. I didn’t want to lose my third year as well, so I had forced my self and applied to a university here in Saudi Arabia. Regardless of limitations and barriers that I faced due to the universities and colleges registration requirements for the non Saudi citizens, I have finally got accepted because of my score in TOFEL and earned almost a full scholarship in one of the top universities here due to my high GPA in high school. But unfortunately this scholarship was not given to the major that is my goal since I am not a Saudi citizen. Therefore, I had to go for MIS major, the first year went fine, but eventually I realized that I am heading towards something that is not even my goal or my area of interest. On the top of that and so far I don't find my self in the right place and the right path of my chosen career. So my grades started to go down in some classes although my current GPA is 4.78/5. I could have scored much more than this if I was in the appropriate place and major that I am fascinated about and suits my skills. After a few semesters, I realized that I can't continue in this major nor in this country as I believe that I have the ability to be more creative and more intelligent, but in here they don't have the opportunities to develop myself, and that is being a big barrier between me and my capacity to achieve what I believe I can do. Consequently, I gathered my self to decide to go back for my primary goal and start looking for a university outside Saudi Arabia that will help me in achieving my dreams again and support my skills to be the person that I have continuously been dreaming to become.

Other than academic achievements I also participated in extra curricular activities such as community services inside and outside university because I also like to help people. I participated in designing almost all the events that was held in high school. Besides, I displayed some of my favorite painting in a lot of galleries. Currently I am a member in a marketing club that make events about so many cultures to earn profit in which it will benefit us to fund international trips for all the member club. Further more, I am a member in the toastmaster club.
