Statement of Purpose

来自University of Texas 德克萨斯州立大学的学生关于自己在高中毕业之后是如何艰难的申请到学校以及在学校学习遇到的种种遭遇与体会，更认为需要加强人际关系沟通能力。
My name is Wei Li. I graduated from St Anthony Catholic High School in San Antonio, and I am currently studying at University of Texas at Arlington. My story following will show you how my experience in UT Arlington a year of study has made me a person of rebirth. 
In fact, I was enrolled in CAP as high school applicant. I was immature in the first year of college and I got to accept the fact that, eventually, I would not be able to go to UT Austin due to my failure of CAP because I did not pass a basic and mandatory English course. My academic performance was not that satisfactory enough to reach the requirement of passing this English course at the end of the 2014 spring semester even though I did fairly well in most of my subjects throughout my CAP year. When I first knew about the result, I got crashed and laid in bed for several days to rethink of the path I walked through the first year. 
After serious consideration, I packed my mind, trying to have a serious talk with Stephanie Tavera, who was my English professor at that time. I was trying to figure out an effective way to improve my academic performance. While requiring her students to perform as high-achievers, professor Tavera is a caring and understanding person who knows precisely how to inspire students. As a life lesson I obtained from professor Tavera, I have to be a man of power, because I should find out problems by myself and fix it with strong will rather than trying to argue with other people about my own fault. Further, my frustrating experience taught me to become a person of strong mind and determination. I learned not to linger in the past but expect actively to the future. In order to pursue higher academic performance, I took some challenging summer classes including introduction to sociology, math, and advanced-level English. My final score and class participation impressed my professor deeply, which demonstrated my capability to overcome academic challenges even after I was not doing so well in CAP.
 Pursuing higher academic quality and studying the most appropriate major are my ultimate goal to University of Texas at Austin. Undeniably UT Arlington has a good Liberal Arts Department, which provides high replacement rate of internship and plenty of programs studying abroad. However, there are two reasons why I prefer UT Austin to UT Arlington: (1) it does not have such a competitive academic dynamics that I desire; (2) the sociology major here is a combination of anthropology and sociology, which is too general and not specific enough to target the exact field I feel interested to focus on. 
What attracted me to apply for UT Austin Liberal Art School is it tends to focus exclusively on undergraduate education while your curriculum allows students to develop their intellectual abilities. Moreover, your School teaches students to think and communicate in a wide range of fields and full exposure to a broad range of subjects, including classes in the humanities and sciences in both a competitive and encouraging way. I believe your high academic standard will help me to achieve my intellectual goal of being able to connect our personal issues with the wider social structures. Your recent research program, which focus on the religion and aids in Africa, caught my attention. This program invited me to think about the relationship between different kinds of social structures, either micro to basic cells, such as non-profit organization or macro to floating trends and social crisis. It offered me a new perspective to think about sociology as well as motivated me to carry out my future plan. In terms of my future plan, I intend to carry out my interested research program in the third world countries to do all I can to help those people who have no or only limited access to basic humanitarian assistance. 
Even though my transcript is not convincing so far, I can tell it does not represent who I am at this moment. I am looking forward to being a candidate in your esteemed College of Liberal Arts in Department of Sociology and hope to apply my passion and knowledge for the greater good of all. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

Human mind is the subject, which dominates human actions; I notice the important role that Sociology plays in this society. Sociology makes me understand who I am and my existing situation in relative to this society and people around me, which further helps me to perform better in job; because I need to get along with people around me and Sociology helps me in my future career, whatever that may be. In some sectors, sociologist’s work closely with economists, political scientists, anthropologist, psychologists, social workers, and other, reflecting a growing appreciation of sociology’s contributions to interdisciplinary analysis and action.
I am so interested in areas of Sociology including criminology and deviance, demography, education, family, gender, health, politics and development, race and ethnicity, and social stratification. I believe your high academic standard will help me to achieve my intellectual goal of being able to connect our personal issues with the wider social structures. In terms of my future plan, I intend to carry out my interested research program in the third world countries to do all I can to help those people who have no or only limited access to basic humanitarian assistance.
Even though my transcript is not convincing so far, I can tell it does not represent who I am at this moment. I am looking forward to being a candidate in your esteemed College of Liberal Arts in Department of Sociology and hope to apply my passion and knowledge for the greater good of all. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

I have passion and enthusiastic with Sociology since very young. I am interested in figuring out what’s the difference between people of thinking and acting; perhaps my interest is what inspires me to study Sociology. During the summer of 2012, I worked as a Human Resource intern in the institute of Building Research in China. I was responsible for preparing the interviewing materials for incoming interviewers and maintaining orders during the interview. This internship provided me with invaluable opportunity to observe people’s performance during interview. What they acted and said reflected what they thought in their mind. I suddenly realized that people’s emotion, language, and body language are so closely connected to one’s intrinsic movement. That by systematically studying this subject can help me fine tunes my interpersonal communication skills and hones my ability to think deeply and critically about different issues.
