What are your career goals and how do you expect your education at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh..

Ever since I was young I always knew what I wanted to do with my life. Like the letter I wrote myself in the fifth grade, I wanted to be an elementary school teacher because I have always had a passion for younger children. Which lead me to pursuing that dream and attending school for early childhood education. What I didn't know at the time was I had an even bigger passion. A passion that made work turn into a hobby. Interior design is my passion and dream.

As I was sitting at home watching my favorite television channel, HGTV, I though to myself that maybe I can start my dream by transforming my families home to see if I truly love interior design. I started off with painting the rooms of the house to picking out new accessories to go along with that room. By the time I was done with one room I immediately thought about what room I wanted to do next. This was my passion that I cannot stop pursing.

I strongly believe that pursing my education at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh will not only prepare me for a degree in interior design but giving me the skills and tools I need for everyday life. Outside of my courses being the number one priority, the one thing that I can do to benefit my education is to get involved and participate in extra curricular activities. I want will be dedicated to both my education and my student life while attending The Art Institute. Here at The Art Institute I want to learn about the different styles that individuals have and to create a portfolio to show that I got what it takes.

I want to learn the skill that I need for the next chapter in my life and I believe that The Art Institute of Pittsburgh can provide not only me with those skills but every student. I am a dedicated student and will succeed as an interior design student.

Hi rachaelspelic, I would like to give you suggestions for some gramatical issues


I suggest you to put coma as the formula is since SV, SV.
so the sentence should be Ever since I was young, I always knew what


Are you sure with article a before passion?


This is really bad grammar, I suggest you to rewrite this


What I did not know


I suggest you to use some expression for this sentence. For example, On the other hand, extraculicular activities would ......


I will dedicate myself..... (be careful to use passive voice)


I suggest you to make unforgetable conclusion by state that you will benefit the institution by being student there

I hope it will help you and do not forget to give this a thumb

Hi Rachel, first of all, WELCOME to the Essay Forum Family.

There you have it Rachel, as you can see, after the revision, the essay tend to be stronger, the ideas are even lighter and the logic of your thoughts are clearer that when it started. Please don't be confuse with the tenses that you use in your sentences, once an action is done in the past of course it's a past tense and vice versa, now when the tricky part comes, the action is done in the current state, it still follows the present tense. I hope this is useful.

Here you need to elaborate it's very vague you could do any of these things at another art institute. So, why Pittsburg?I would skim website/check alumni, and include specifics that pertain to the university. Honestly, that what colleges look for and it shows you've done your research.
