I need your honest feedback and lots of help.
My weakest part is grammar. I would thank you in advance, if you can help me with it.
How is my overall essay, structure, feeling?
Do you think my message is clear enough?

Essay describing why you wish to transfer at this time and explaining academic challenges and/or future goals.

"Everyone make fun a my drawing. I can't draw, Ms.SuA," said Ji-Yul stressfully on the first day of my Book Art Class. Hovering the pencil tip on a blank paper, he glared at me hopelessly. I knew from the meeting before the class that he enjoyed coloring Although Ji-Yul was a receptive student, he was overwhelmed by fear. He suffered from dyspraxia and dysgraphia, both neulogical disorders that impair the hand to brain coordination. Without a constant exercise, he cannot write legibly or unlock a door. At that very moment, the preconscious mind opened its eyes to the importance of therapy for children like Ji-Yul, in specific a field of psychology.

His response brought a flashback of my childhood. My left hand tied up to a chair, I was forced to re-learn how to write properly. "It's a bad luck! Your friends will make fun of you," scolded my mom. As a result, I gave up on my habits of writing backwards with a left hand. I also hid myself from synesthesia, seeing numbers and alphabets in color, out of fear just like Ji-Yul.

Luckily, I quickly found myself a way to shed off my fear through art. Over the course of years in Maryland Institute College of Art, I have developed creative problem solving skills and augmented a humanistic experience as a graphic designer. Approaching from different perspective, my passion still lies within a circumference of the study of the impact of our society and culture. University of Maryland offers exactly what I am looking for: diverse culture and strong academic. By attending University of Maryland, I will not only gain the skills necessary to help other children to overcome unseen hardship, but also become a proactive member of the community to share my passion.

Thank you again for reading my essay~

You need to make some changes.

Write an essay describing why you wish to transfer at this time and stating what academic challenges you have had or expect to have and also stating what your academic goals are.

The phrase "constant exercise" doesn't work there, but I am not sure what to replace it with. (Perhaps: "Without constantly staying focused....") I am not even sure there is such a thing as a preconscious mind, but I am pretty sure it that phrase does not fit there.

(I had to look up receptive. Receptive | Define Receptive at Dictionary.com)
