SCAD - Importance of Writing on My Life - My Statement of Purpose!

I have tried my best on this but I feel like I'm not really doing what I'm supposed to, what the prompt tells me too. I would appreciate a push into the right direction and of course someone looking at my grammar and diction would also be beneficial. Thanks so much!

A 500-word statement of purpose providing an overview of the applicant's academic and personal experience and reediness for college study.

I used to hate writing. My first grade teacher would tell us all to take our pencils out and I would almost cry out in dread of the work my hand, and mind, was about to do. It took me until I was in seventh grade to see the beauty and magnificence that went into classics such as Great Expectations and To Kill A Mockingbird. From that point on I became a mad girl, obsessed in the ways that the authors would twist and turn certain words and create something so beautiful it would bring me to tears every time I read it. As cliché as it sounds, I knew I had found what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I want to learn and master the delicate art of writing.

I wasn't confident enough to start writing myself until I got into high school, and, at the time, my writings were like my children, something I made and spent a lot of time developing. I wanted to shelter my work from the criticizing eyes of the world, so I did. Living in a small town that I can't even pin point on a map doesn't exactly help either in relation to the amount of opportunities I was presented with, I however still did not stop. I wrote in school, I wrote in my free time, and I even wrote when I was supposed to be doing something else. I loved the way writing could affect people and I wanted to be the one to do it.

A famous man once said that readers don't have to write, but writers have to read. Reading is something people don't always correlate with the importance of writing, but, even at a young age, I knew that reading was the key to writing. I could read a paragraph and look at the diction and syntax that the author would infuse with figurative language and I would try to mimic their tone or style. It became fun for me, a challenge! I signed up for every language and literature advanced placement class that my tiny school offered and took them, passing with flying colors. It was so easy for me to understand how things connected in that class and I knew that taking them would not only be fun for me but also help my writing.

Writing has become a very important part of my life. I do it when I become sad, or angry, or happy. It calms me and molds my emotions, to only further help shape my character. I think that SCAD is the perfect school for me to attend for my passion and it's a decision I haven't taken lightly. I love to write and I like to write about art and history, something SCAD can also help me with. Getting accepted into Rising Star would kick start my career and help me on my road to success.

I loved it. Though I think you should add something about what you would do during college, something like a study plan, to show that you are indeed ready. Just a thought :)
