Hi everyone,

Can someone please help me!

Since i'm switching major from art to education. i don't know how to start my essay!

This is the question they want me to answer.

"A statement of purpose of approximately 500 words describing your objectives in undertaking graduate study. In reviewing applications, considerable importance is placed on the applicant's interest in and commitment to advanced study and professional development."

I would start with why you were an art major and why you are switching to education. Are you switching to Art Ed? If so, explain how that best fits you and your "purpose" in life. This will be a semi-short essay, but you can fill it with tons of information to captivate the board.

Good luck!

Why not focus on what you can do best as a general education student and yes - explain what positive things you brought from your previous classes.

Wow, I think it would be interesting for you to explain how you can express yourself artistically as an educator. To celebrate the "art" of education in this essay would make it memorable.

Whichever approach you take, just remember that your ultimate goal is to show the admissions officers that your prior experience still qualifies you to enter into your new field of study, and that your decision to switch has been carefully thought out. So, you might want to start by writing down all of the details you could include about your decision to switch that would help you to make these points, and then see which approach would best allow you to tie those details together.

I did a quick Google search using the key terms: psychology, children, parents, personality. and came up with a ton of resources.

Yes, the key word is "personality." I use Questia, but it costs money. there are plenty of free article available with Google Scholar. So... see what people have written about it by searching for this:

inheriting personality characteristics.
