Reflection: Revisiting my statement of purpose

I geniunely feel so fortunate to have choosen a program that shares so many personal and professional beliefs and core values. Apart of my program's (reading/writing/literacy) requirement is the completion of a portfolio which includes the reflections of the entrance essay/statement of purpose. I smiled as I recently revisited my essay, in which I spoke about an interest and sincere belief in the importance of the correlation between language and literacy...and here I am...in a program where the professors, authors of the articles/readings, also strongly belief in the importance of language and literacy. I truly feel blessed to be in a program that helps fosters me (personally and professionally), taking my insights and knowledge to another level. I belief that act of reflection of such a piece alone, is vital for growth, in life...to see how one has grown by reading a personal piece...provides a more geniune self-reflection essential for understanding the steps and obstacles on the road one travels.
