Matching a closing sentence with hook (academic interests and/or professional goals)

The essay prompt: please discuss your academic interests and/or professional goals

The first two sentences for my UIUC engineering essay is a humorous statement that has to do with a statistic of how many people of my ethnicity are involved in the career that I am going into (sorry for being vague).

Any ideas for a matching closing statement? I was thinking something about how I am more than just a statistic and that I am creative enough to bring about a difference in my career.

Maybe you could put something about how you aim not to fall under one of the categories already featured in the statistics you mentioned, but instead aim to create your own statistic--your own new group that refuses to follow the numbers before you.

I hope the writing of that ending went well. It helps to choose a term or phrase from the intro and repeat it in that line at the end. It sounds like that is what you have in mind, anyway.

It is good to be thinking the way you are thinking -- that even though it is common for people of your ethnicity to be in that profession, you are not a "dime a dozen." That is, you are not something that is "common."
