Undergraduate /
Association with every aspect of life; Objective of pursing Civil Engineering [4]
hi munira,
I do not have much of experience in writing statement of purpose (SOP) and maybe the other members will give better assist. However, I can give you a hint in how to start your SOP. Bring a scartch of paper and start writing your main ideas. These ideas have to be convincing to the reader that you're qualified for the Civil Engineering course.
When writing your ideas take into account these points:
1- Do NOT care about the writing order of the ideas, leave it for later. So any idea comes to you write it down on the paper.
2- In the beginning start with a phrase or two for any idea make it as short as possible. You MUST write ALL your ideas in the first draft, to save the time arranging your statement.
3- List your short and long-run goals for pursuing Civil Engineering.
4- Focus in your strength points, what do you've that most don't? (of course, with whom you share the same qualifications)
5- Strengthen your ideas with good examples that you have experienced. (work experience, school projects, etc)
6- Any awards, achievements or memberships.
7- What makes you interested in Civil Enginering. And what is your motivations to pursue Civil Engineering (your example of your father is one them, is there another and better motivation?)
8- Now take all these points and arrange it in order, by expanding every idea in one paragraph or combine 2 ideas in paragraph. Or you may split an idea and write about it in separate paragraphs.
I hope I did not miss something out there.
