once you stop learning, you start dying

There is a famous adage"once you stop learning, you start dying". This is a quote that I essentially live by. As such, as an academic in the polytechnic, this scholarship will accord a chance to widely broaden my knowledge, skills, experience, and expose to the world-class facilities in the area of "Environmental management and policy " as one of my keen interest.

As a close observer of the environment in Nigeria, the need for greater environmental protection is becoming increasingly important by the public in order to address issues such as pollution, wildlife protection, land use, waste generation, and waste disposal management, it is against this that I have decided to pursue graduate studies in Environmental Management leading to doctorate. However, upon returning after securing the scholarship, the knowledge acquired will directly be applied in the area via research, collaboration with government, oil and gas stakeholders as well as mentoring students to effectively safeguard and protect our environment.

Hi, welcome to the site! Here's my feedback for your writing.

Academic writing requires that you have appropriate punctuation, spacing, and usage of preposition. Be extra cautious of these facets of writing since they're integral parts to show that you truly know how to write parallel to the standard that they're asking from you.

Furthermore, in the second paragraph, I noticed that the first sentence immediately is just a run-on sentence. Be more direct and specific. You should be cultivating sentences that are a lot more simplified as well for this is how you create more comprehensible pieces of text.

Since this is for your personal statement, including just these details will be insufficient. Incorporate certain things such as your academic and professional background. Be as specific and detailed as possible for only then will they truly know what your intent in the write-up is.
