A statement of purpose is one of the most important elements of a Ph.D application. An applicant have to write a good statement of purpose demonstrating his goal, his achievements, and why a program must choose him among more than thousand applicants.
After getting a scholarship, I dedicated myself to finish this 1000 words assay for a month using process writing as follows:
First, I brainstormed what points should be written to express myself effectively. I jotted down as many ideas as I could come up with in a piece of paper.
I then organized my scattered ideas into four main paragraphs, which were an introduction of myself, a reason why I would like pursued my Ph.D in this program, my pass experiences and achievements, and long-term goals after I finished my Ph.D.
To draft an essay, I mostly used a free-writing technique to write each of paragraph follow my outline.
I reviewed my assay whether I should add more information or delete irrelevant sentences. I also asked my friends to comment and check whether I should change anything.
After that, I revised my assay upon grammatical errors and inappropriate word used. I also changed some major points if necessary.
Lastly, I published my statement of purpose into an application system, and preyed for the result.
