ABSTRACT

Every day in life, one thing that is almost certain is that we will be called on to make a choice between different alternatives. We start each weekday deciding whether we will get up and go to work, what to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and when to leave for work. Each decision make must always be made with a specific purpose or intention in mind. A good statement of purpose includes an action are going to take and the result that hope to achieve by taking this action. Writing a statement of purpose involves defining four separate elements, and then combining them into a single statement. There are two types of criteria that are involved in all decisions. First, there are things we must have, or that are mandatory, in order to guarantee that our final decision will be successful, and then there is everything else that falls into the optional criteria category.
