I am just starting writing my personal statement. I am applying for the primary education course. Is my opening paragraph good? if not where did I go wrong?
Ever since my little cousin came into this world a few years ago, my mind has been curiously wondering with fascination how child’s minds work, whither it be there learning process at primary school or just generally there outlook on life. Helping children learn and knowing you have made a significant or even minor change in there life gives such a rewarding feeling. Aspects of drama, art and other creative subjects appeal to me most due to the character and confidence building these areas of teaching have. Learning about children and how to address them to the highest standards I am capable of really makes me want to explore these interests in greater depth. Being patient and confident in what I do makes me feel I have the right skills for the primary education course and my present work experience definitely solidifies that this is what I want to do.
