Cosmetology Personal Statement

Improved Essays
I want to study Cosmetology because I have always been fascinated with it. It gives you the chance to help people with their looks and even give them tips to help make their lives easier. I love getting a chance to do hair do’s and makeup.

Ever since I started school, my parents have helped and encouraged me to get good grades and never fail. I didn’t understand why because all I thought at that time was that school was boring, but now that I am older I understand why they did all of this. They want me to have a better future and a better chance at getting an education than the had a chance to get. My parents were both born in Mexico and my grandparents only sent them to an elementary school. After that they had to help with the Ranch chores.

Everything was going normal in my family then, we rented a house that was in the name of my aunt, had enough money for the bills,…
