Samples of My Work for the Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling

Statements of Excellence for Admission to Graduate School in Rehabilitation Counseling

Sample 1st Paragraph for the Master's, MA in Rehabilitation Counseling

Still only 27, I am quickly becoming an expert in the area of Rehabilitation since I am a former member of the Armed Forces who is transitioning back to civilian life at the same time that I continue to struggle with several interrelated and service-related conditions that resulted from my deployment. I am optimistic that these disabilities will be temporary, and that I can overcome them in the fullest sense by completing an MA in Rehabilitation Counseling, learning to help others at the same time that I help myself. My greatest societal contribution would be to first begin my career as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with the Department of Veterans Affairs, working directly with veterans, helping them to obtain an education, acquire vocational skills, and secure employment.
