Why I Chose Social Psychology as My Major Course
Statement of Purpose Student: xxxxxxxx

I grow up in an environment with many people coming and going when I was young as my family ran a garage, there I learned how to reduce the cost, make more benefits, deal with all kinds of people as a owner from my father, his success and integrity inspired me must be an outstanding person as he is.
In order to continue my academic and live until graduation I had to take a part-time job. Being a salesman in the supplementary school was my first job and I contacted with different kinds of students there everyday, and from that I learned how to keep a good relationship with people. Because of my effort to increase the sales, I was promoting to be an official staff, and then I started to stand on the stage and become a teacher when I was in my sophomore year. It was different from school life and even more interesting me.

Since young I was interest in observing the behavior and thoughts of human beings, I chose Shih Hsin University where I majored in Social Psychology. I’m glad that I took Social Psychology as my major course, because wherever man lives and works, social psychology is always useful. After graduating from university I in medially joined a management consulting company and in the same year had a business trip to main land china alone. As a consulter in training field, I learned a lot of valuable experience from my clients such as TSMC, Novartis Taiwan, Quanta Computer, Quaker Taiwan and in the course of my work I have had many opportunities to meet human resource managers and participate in the planning of this companies’ core competence, training management and human development strategies. To sum up, my one and half years of experience in manage consulting company contributed much to the development of my ability to think independently and to lead and conduct relations with people.

    I always knew I wanted to work with people; when I was younger I thought I might be a psychologist, but the more I studied it, the more I realized I didn’t want to diagnose people as one thing. I think working with people is so much more individual based than people realised; the way one person deals with depression could be so much different than a way another person does. Co-morbidity with mental illness is so prevalent that I don’t think the answer is diagnosing people anymore, as that answer might not give you the right tools to help this person. I’m more focused on the whole of a person, than on one aspect of their selves. I think the social determinants…

    This previous summer, I took care of three girls every day. One story from this summer was taking the youngest girl to swimming lessons every weekday for thirty minutes. After swimming lessons, we would travel to my house and go swimming. There, I helped and trained her to swim with a pool noodle. By the end of the summer, with lots of practice, she was able to swim all by herself. During this experience, I found myself following a routine, teaching the girls something new, and experiencing different teaching techniques. Now, I am currently working in the admissions office at Seward County Community College. I work one hour, three days a week. Working in the admissions office has helped me gain experience working with students and teachers who need assistance. Unfortunately, I sit in a chair and work on a computer which is something I don't like doing. Both of these work experiences, through the good times and bad, have help guide me to the teaching career I wish to have.…

    Ever heard the saying that if you choose a career you have a great passion for, you will never work a day in your life? This is a philosophy I have stood by throughout my life. I have always had a passion for helping people, particularly young people and children who are socially and economically disadvantaged to overcome obstacles in their lives and achieve their full potential. My desire to make this a reality is reflected in my three years study of BSc (Hons) Applied Criminology and Sociology undergraduate degree and volunteer work in charity organisations (youth and care sectors) that share the same values and ensure that a positive impact is made in the lives of service users.…

    Since childhood I have been interested in helping people who have been less fortunate in life. A strong desire to help other people is one of the most compelling reasons for me to become a social worker. In fact I hold Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Master’s Degree in Social Work from the Department of Sociology at Yerevan State University.

My educational background has also enabled me to organize and manage surveys, lectures, seminar-discussions on different topics, as well…

    After I graduated from high school May of 2010, I took some time to think about the career path that I wanted to follow. A couple months after I graduated from high school, I applied for a job at the Early Explorers Head Start in Anamoose, ND. I did not get the job that I applied for but that was okay because the next day I got a call from the School District offering me another job. They offered me the job of the assistant substitute teacher in the Early Explorers classroom. I accepted the job offer and started working in September of 2010. I loved the job so much. There was also something special in the job for me, my baby brother was also in that class. My experiences have been very rewarding so far and have inspired me to want to continue along this path and seek further knowledge in the field. It truly does mean so much to me knowing that I have helped those children learn so many new things in life that will help them with their social and cognitive development.…
