Hey i was wondering if anyone would kindly take the time to read through what i have done of my personal statement and give some feedback. Thanx.
The past year has been a difficult one, both emotionally and academically, with the passing away of my father. Being unable to complete my examinations this put me in a grim situation for my next year of sixth form. With no AS results and still distraught, I struggled to keep up with revision and the new material from the A2 course, slowly falling behind leading me to another downfall for the January sittings. With disappointing results from my January examinations the workload had now doubled making the task of achieving respectable grades near impossible, having seventeen exams in my final session. As predicted my
Over the years I have developed a fascination and interest in studying accounts through family members and personal research. This allowed me to obtain a first hand insight into the world of accounting and its functioning, also with an unbiased factual representation. My own research into the profession has only reinforced my passion and enthusiasim motivating me to persue a career in accounts. The course that I would like to do at university is Business Accounts or Accounts and Finance. I feel that the two subjects combine well with one another.
My main ambition for the future is to become an Accountant Executive or a Financial Advisor. I am hoping university will provide me with an understanding of the business world as well as offering me a wide range of choices and connections after my course.
During my time in sixth form and now during a gap year I feel I have grown as an individual, more mature with a greater sense of independence, discipline and hard work. I hope that you have analysed this piece carefully enough to offer me a place at your university, and trust that you have yet to see the bigger picture of me. I am conscious of the hard work and times ahead of me but I feel that I have the determination, discipline and academic potential to achieve the grades required and complete a course in acccounting.
