Has anyone worked on WDW cultural representative programme?

Cultural Anthropology Graduate Statement! Any help would be appreciated!?

• Hey guys! I'm applying to a cultural anthropology graduate program and I'm having a lot of trouble with the statement. If I could get any help I would really be grateful! thanks!! Here's my statement draft so far: Growing up in an area where the majority of the community was more prosperous than you were, I spent most of my days dreaming of the things people told me I would probably never do. When I was in my early teenage years, I had befriended a wonderful exchange student who had come from Germany. She was so eager to learn about the American culture and I was just as eager to learn about her own culture as well. After a year living in the U.S., she had to return home. She invited me to visit her over the summer for three weeks so she could teach me about her cultural traditions just as I had taught her about mine. When I asked my parents if I could go, I got the same type of answer that I had gotten my entire life. With sarcasm and heavy doubt, they laughed in my face and told me that I could go if I could paid for all of it. For years, people had been telling me everything I could never do and I was finally ready to tell them exactly what I capable of. With ambition and determination, I got a job as a bus-girl and worked diligently on weekends cleaning tables to save up my money. By the time the summer came, I was the one laughing their faces when I told them I was going to Germany on my own funding. To this day, I still hold true to my determination. Growing into my adult years, I was faced with just as many obstacles as I had been faced with in the passed and I still didn’t let anyone tell me I wasn’t capable. No one stopped me when I wanted to study abroad in Wales for five months, no one stopped me when I wanted to travel around Europe to experience different ways of life, and no one stopped me when I flew to Egypt to immerse myself in an a rich and ancient culture. If there is one thing I have learned to be true, is that the only thing that could hold me back is myself. Studying for the past four years at the State University of New York New Paltz has been the most enlightening and most exciting years of my life thus far. I not only was able to surround myself in intelligent, humorous, and delightful people, I was also able to further my profound passion of Anthropology. I never chose elective courses that I thought were easy enough to boost my GPA. I truly believed that if I was going to major in Anthropology, I wanted to get the most out of my education, so I always chose electives that pertained to all the subfields. A few (among many) of my most exciting courses were Mummy Studies, Osteology, Forensics, Introduction to Africa, Race and Racism, Islamic Studies, and even Visual Anthropology. I learned something different from every course. Through all the courses, I always found a particular pattern of interest that I had. I was always most fascinated with the cultural aspects. The way in which people all over the world encompass such different ways of life and beliefs has always mesmerized me. I believe every culture to be equally as rich in value as the next. People today make accusations and judgements towards cultures they don’t even understand. I believe one should never judge without understanding. This is why cultural anthropology is so important. I’ve always believed it can help create understanding and can help increase tolerance. I sought out to find a University that has a well rounded and enriched program that I could benefit and hopefully attribute to. Washington State University’s Cultural Anthropology Master’s Program has everything and more that I am looking for. It is a University that I could expand my knowledge and education through the help of extremely insightful Professors. In all honesty, I am torn between two areas of interest. I am overwhelmingly passionate in researching and studying the culture and community of homosexuals. I am also extremely interested in researching spirit possession and practices among particular cultures. It is through WSU’s program that I believe I can acquire the desired education that I’ve been looking for. With experience and an education from WSU, I aim for a future career goal of researching, teaching, and hopefully having a chance to work with National Park Services. It is important to me that I take my experiences and learnings from the Graduate Program with me to any future career I may have so I can bring a sense of cultural knowledge, tolerance, and understanding to any work environment.

• Answer:

  I think is pretty good your statement, anyway I think you should cut some part like the ''With sarcasm and heavy doubt, they laughed in my face and told me that I could go if I could paid for all of it'' and others that couldn't seem relevant. Good luck!
