Help needed structuring my statement

[ijakings]

I would also say it's best not to start with "I want to study ***Filtered*** because", but you want something which gets this point across as well as possible.

I started my statement with:

Examination of any quality newspaper will probably demonstrate that more of the headlines address economic problems than any other topic. The importance and relevance of economic related disciplines to the modern world have led me to want to pursue the study of the subject at a higher level.

Though looking at it now, the first line was probably unnecessary.
