Hello am marxs and would want to write sop for my graduate studies but do not know what to write again.i need some guidelines and edit on what i have written so far thank you.
What a place we would have called earth,if all mankind lived a healthier life,adopted precautionary measures rather than the now common curative.I grew up in an environment that had poor hygienic condition.My curiosity as at age five brought me close to healthy living.When I was in primary,I had the chance to go on a trip for sightseeing in a region that shares border with mine.
I encountered different people from different cultural backgrounds.When my best teacher,Mr.David Basing asked me to go and socialize with the other students,I did not know how to engage somebody I have never set my eyes on, in a conversation at that age,so what I deemed it fit was to open my lunch box and have my lunch.A boy,who by his looks was older than me moved a distance closer to me,then started reciting a poem which was mostly used for an advert on health shows on TV,at that moment ,I came to my senses on realizing that I had not washed my hands.
My interest in Public Health(epidemiology) for graduate studies has so many years being living with me.I owe it a responsibility for myself,the community where I was raised: they believe that,a person's nemesis is always in the form of sickness,which is brought upon by a god due to the person's wrong doings and also owe it to the community,where I am a practicing teacher:traders in this community,sell farm produce on the bare floor and if a consumer ask them why,their response is "African germs are not harmful."
As the science teacher of my school,I have being talking to parents of the students I teach,at Parents and Teachers Association meetings,about how to stay healthy and the negative effects of selling food produce on the bare ground.Similarly,some elders in the community where I was raised,do not understand why I keep on talking to my parent's friends including some of them,on the fact that,the diseases they contract are not nemesis from any god but is about their unhygienic way of living,which include drinking contaminated water that can be made safe for drinking,if it is boiled and strained.
It is my desire,to acquire the requisite knowledge,skills and attitudes to help create the awareness of good and healthy living in a wider jurisdiction,effectively and efficiently,and not attributing ill-health to any superstitious beliefs.It is so devastating,that people who contract infectious diseases in my community,still stay in the same room with those who have not been infected because of lack of knowledge concerning it.
Every individual in a society has a passion for a particular activity,and with my mind and my entire being,I crave to help change the mind of my father,who cannot stay for five hours without having to smoke cigarette after been hospitalized and bled through all openings,by having gone through the course of public health.I chose to study science related subject for my undergraduate degree because of him.He does not accept the effects of cigarettes,even though,he has been asked by doctors to desist from smoking.I once read to him,a journal from an astute Professor of Public Health from UCLA,on the ways to good and healthy lifestyle which included non-smoking,drinking alcohol in moderation,getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night and eating regular times.All he could say after that was,"what do you know about good and healthy living?"
I picture myself in the next five years with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Public Health(Epidemiology).I am an intrinsic motivated person,love to set my heart for an activity that would bring me satisfaction and those around me.Also,am able to work for more hours to help those around me.I do not stop to achieve what I want,until I get it.
I have read from the web addresses of various and distinct institutions,but have taken the delight to apply to your institution,which I perfectly believe will be the right institution for me to acquire knowledge,skills and attitudes to help me unearth my ability,to tell a neighbour,to tell a neighbour to also tell the neighbourhood on the right practices for good and healthy living.
Joining the Master in Public Health course,will be a significant step towards my desire and dream to public health research and practice.It will be a point that turns aspiration to practice,dreams to reality,from vague ideas to formal research and with a scientific career to help my country.Hoping to come with relevant ideas in making the class enjoyable and definitely sure,to have a lot of knowledge under my sleeve to help my country.
It would take a long time to fix all of your punctuation, so just know this. You put a space after periods or commas. end of sentence/phrase + period/comma + space + next word
What a place the we have called earth (I don't know what you're trying to say here, doesn't make sense) if all mankind lived a healthier life, adopted the precautionary measures rather than the now common curative. I grew up in an environment that had poor hygienic condition. My curiosity as at age five brought me close to healthy living. W hen I was in primary five., I had the chance...
You have a good story to write about. Your reasoning is good, just fix your grammar. If you correct your punctuation, I will read it again. It's just a little hard to read as it is now, haha!
