Hi,
I am going to send this personal statement for some PhD programs. would you please take a look and see if it is good in content and length? and if there are any grammatical error?
I appreciate your help.
--------------------------------------------------
I was born and grown in a house where critical and systematic thinking towards the society was an everlasting part of it. My father is a lawyer, who has been active in newspapers and writing at the same time. These three activities, i.e. attorneyship, working with newspapers and writing, have made me passionate about discovering the realities and truth of social and personal life of human. Since I was very young I joined many journalists’ gatherings and participated in their discussions and debates. And it greatly helped me develop an analytical view towards experiences around me. That is what later, improved my academic thinking.
Being passionate about discovering the truth, I was easily fascinated by philosophy as it had the main purpose of finding the truth. Consequently, through philosophy I encountered even more questions that were to be answered. The bond between evolutionary genetics and philosophy and a vast variety of other sciences, such as sociology and evolution, together with its concern to human life and its connection to the world, made me interested about it. Thus, I have decided to dedicate my future career to finding answers for questions about human nature. Studying human evolutionary biology gives me very powerful tools to investigate many fundamental questions about the history and current position of human.
Studying in this field is especially motivating to me because it makes it possible to analyze the results of experiments. Furthermore, it is possible this field is open to many different methods of experimental design and their analysis, which provides huge options to explore for answers.
During my undergraduate studies, I was involved in several research projects that equipped me with the essentials of academic research. Most of the projects to which I was involved were about nanotechnology and its application. Among them, one was published under the title of “----”. In total, I received 9000 dollars of research grant. I conducted a couple of other research projects that were about functionalizing carbon nanotubes by DNA and comparing the effect of different nanomaterial on DNA. In the first project, we tried to increase the functionalization rate of carbon nanotubes by changing the solvent of carbon nanotube-DNA hybrids. This helps carbon nanotubes become soluble faster and more efficient and ready to be utilized in many applications. In addition to these projects, I joined several national and international conferences and presented some papers in the form of posters. Furthermore, I took a few workshops (such as Phylogenetics and Site directed mutagenesis) that generally helped me to recognize the potentials and our current limits in research. This is very important in my point of view, because it facilitates designing the most efficient experiments.
