Writing a narrative explaining interest in the field of forensic medicine

Hi! I am a little lost with my "autobiographical statement" for a Master's degree I wish to pursue. Basically the prompt says: "Please write a narrative explaining your interest in the field of forensic medicine" there are no other prompts and no character limit.

Please give me an advice on how to construct my essay- content, structure and grammar wise. I have attached below my rough draft. Also, I can't seem to create a good introduction and closing paragraph :(

Pursuing a Masters in Forensics

Although as a young child I had already been watching documentaries about crime scene investigation, it was not until college that I was formally introduced to the field of Forensics. It was through an undergraduate course- General Pathology and Histopathologic Techniques, that I was first exposed to post-mortem examination. One particular activity that piqued my interest was examining cadavers and describing the different anatomical changes brought about by diseases. In this course, I learned that the application of pathology is not merely limited to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, but can also play an important role in providing insight as to the cause of a person's death or injury.

My interest in the field of Forensics further solidified after having worked as a Medical Laboratory Scientist at Y Hospital. In one way or another both fields are interrelated, with both having a common goal of gathering and analyzing data with the application of medical knowledge. Whether the data, such as in toxicology reports, is used in the field of Medical Technology for diagnosis, or as evidence in the field of Forensic Medicine. Additionally, working in the laboratory has provided me useful technical and analytical skills that is needed to become a successful Forensic Medicine professional, such as being detail oriented, following the chain of custody, and doing work with precision and integrity.

I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Forensic Medicine at X College because I believe the school's program will not only give me the much needed knowledge to become a successful forensic investigator, but will also bridge my current knowledge in the field of healthcare into forensics. I am mostly interested in the courses LEP because it familiarizes the student with the rules and processes to better prepare him/her for their future role in the legal system, and PFMII because it delves into the different fields of forensic medicine such as F. Neuropathology and F. Anthropology. Moreover, the mock crime scene and Capstone Integrated Experience will provide aspiring forensics professionals like me a hands-on, real-world experience in a work setting.

you use a lot of scientific terms, which is both good and not. it's good because it shows that you really do understand the field you wish to study, but the ressay reviewer might not be someone from the field. forgive me if i'm wrong but i think the ability to explain something complicated by the simplest and understandable way might be good (at least you define the terms you used here)

also i would encourage you to continue the essay, no matter the length. considering that you do not have word limit, you can write as long as you want first and then shorten it later to make it more concise

Mae, before you explain how your college exposure to General Pathology triggered your desire to study Forensics, you should first explain how your interest in this field was developed. So you need a separate, earlier paragraph that discusses how you were influenced by the documentaries related to Forensices. Don't use the television shows like CSI or police shows because Forensic experts have already said that the work that is shown in relation to Forensics on those shows are pure fiction. Focus on the documentaries instead. Those are more acceptable to the trained reviewer. Don't bother dumbing down you your essay by using simple terms. You are already a person who graduated from this intricate course of, what was your major again? You forgot to include that reference in this essay, so you should be using highly technical terms because you will be talking to an expert in the field. The reviewer will understand what you have to say. He would not be reviewing your essay if he wasn't an expert. Your work as a med lab scientist doesn't really show a passion for forensics. You are just telling the reviewer that you were exposed to these procedures. Where is the passion for Forensic work? What exposure did you have directly related to that?
