Graduate Admission Statement of Purpose
You’re most likely on your thousandth letter now, countless readings with applicants bragging about themselves and their many accomplishments in media. What makes me different, I am a 26-year-old account manager for one of the most lucrative medical software companies in the US, something I’ve spent the past three years placing my effort towards. In pursuit of this program, I can humbly say that I am starting all over. Where life has led me, is somewhat leftfield from the Industry Studies (Media Management) emphasis I will be studying. However, this life of mine has brought me full circle to the one thing that my passion for has not dissolved. (Insert sentence her to close off paragraph)
I’ve always had a fascination in media, all forms from music to music journalism, entertainment broadcasting as well as television. I’ve always had this creative train of thought and as crazy as it sounds the best way I would learn anything as a child was thought sound and music and visuals, which I believe controlled and shaped so much of who I am. I remember learning my very first telephone number with my mom, back before there were are codes telephone numbers were comprised of 7 digits and we gave those digits a melody and now at 26yrs old, I still remember that telephone number today. That’s what media is, something that sticks with you because its distinctive and it strikes a cord. Whether it is music in the form of songs or sounds in the form of melodies harmonies and even visuals. These are the things that we remember so vividly.
There was a time in my life that I set off to follow this dream. I’ve always know what I’ve wanted and I’ve always been very vocal and mobile when it came to following my goals in media. This lead me to New York with one of the most Predominant Graduate media programs. Being apart of this program lit this fire in me even more and I excelled during my time there. However, during this same time, while this fire was lit, I realized that I became so enthralled as a coping mechanism. I was running from so many problems in Texas, and I soon realized that I left a way to deal. While I loved the program and what I was accomplishing, I wasn’t healthy and I wasn’t happy. And when you are running from something, you begin to find yourself lost in a maze. I lost my mother my last semester in undergrad and my way of dealing at that time was looking for a way out. While most people give themselves time to grieve, I however wanted nothing to do with emotions and I consumed myself with school, and applying to graduate school.
Current Day:

Failure is my biggest fear, along with not reaching my full potential. With that being said, I’m continually striving for more. I could be content with what I’m doing now, as many may think it’s a great career with a great company, however I believe contentment is what prevents so many from following their dreams. We should never be satisfied with what is comfortable, what is easy. I know that following my dreams and being in this program will be a grand task, but when something is truly in your heart the obstacles that you may encounter are minuscule to the reward that you will receive in the end.
