Personal Statement for Mental Health Graduate Program

Paper Summary:

This paper presents the personal statement of a person pursuing studies in mental health and counseling. The paper relates that, in order to pay for these studies, the applicant worked with an adoption agency, and being of Chinese origin felt personally rewarded by assisting in the placement of Chinese children and specifically that of a little Chinese girl. The paper concludes with a discussion about the writer's intentions of pursuing a health and counseling career, which would be of value in assisting the underprivileged, as demonstrated by the help given to the adopted Chinese girl.

From the Paper:

"I was put in charge of the Chinese adoption program because I am originally from China; my employers felt this background, especially culturally and linguistically, was invaluable to meet their ends. I found that I was able to help mediate issues that naturally arose between adopted children and their new families in this country. Especially when it came to older children, the importance of acting as a bridge between them and their new families was a crucial aspect of my work."
