I regularly need to bring my parents and one of my girls for physiotherapy and tuina as they have arthritis and other mobility issues. Spouse is domestically violent to me and from a patriotic family, is still married in a name for the sake of kids.

I have 3 daughters who are with me as my in-laws don’t like them and just took my son away last year, one son and one daughter have dyslexia. I also spent a lot of time teaching them. I studied short distance learning courses at Upenn and Oxford and obtained distinctions.

I have an AD in science because I never gave up on education and am always searching for a chance to be part of a continuing education program.I want to be a role model for my kids. I’m really preoccupied right now so I would need help with a personal statement.

I really want to get into NUS so I can fulfill my dreams of going into graduate studies in the future and be a role model for my kids. But I’m out of school for so long. Please help! I like philosophy because so many parts of academics are from it and I find it really interesting. Below are some samples of personal statements I found online which I hope that you can help look over and see if it can help you with my personal statement.

it would be great if some interesting philosophical ideas are presented in the personal statement. And state how NUS is ideal for me as My brothers studied there, every weekend of my childhood was visiting the dorms there and it has always been an ideal institution.

I was glad that the mature student program opened and I can have a chance to apply for it. Education’s primary goal is to help people get ahead and open new doors from where they are now.
