I would like a personal statement to be written. I am applying for a master’s degree. Even though, my undergrad degree ( nuclear medicine technology) was awarded, It took me 4.5 years due to back injury and unfortunate event of the death of my younger brother in the middle of a semester. That being said, I know my academic standing don’t reflect my true passion and commitment into pursuing a higher degree in radiology related majors. I have one year of work experience as a nuclear medicine technologist. I will upload my transcript to reflect the semesters I haven’t performed well due to my past circumstances. My future intent is to be a TA in a university to be in a research and teaching setting where I apply a my education experiences in advancing radiology related fields into my country.
