Draft of Personal statement (This one is addressed to King’s College).

Please. Let me introduce myself firstly. My name is Omar Pedraza Villagómez, I am from
Mexico and I am an undergraduate philosophy student of the University of Guadalajara,
university that has laureled me and fostered my skills on the fields of research, literature
and bioethics. As I told you before I am still an undergraduate student, but once leaving
I have plans of going to the United Kingdom to study a postgraduate. My expectations
are specifically focused on King’s College due to the views you have in philosophy,
which is strongly historical. King’s College is a university famous around the world
where important figures and leaders were educated. Centuries of history have
demonstrated this point, also your institution is raised in London, one of the most
important cities un the world in so many aspects, including philosophy. Another reason
that makes me want to study in King´s College is the multicultural view that London
offers about education.
I would like a lot to be studying the Philosophy MA in King´s College because. As I told
before, King´s College has centuries of history and reputation. Also having a postgraduate
is almost an obligation in the current world for achieving a better professional profile, and
turns even better if the postgraduate certification and learning were reached in a university
as King’s College is.
Nevertheless the main motivation I have for being part of your university is, as I saw in
the course detail, you are focused in history of philosophy, aspect that matches with my
academic trajectory and research interests, which is the ancient nahua thought,
represented by Nezahualcoyotl, the poet king of Texcoco, who had issues that can be
studied by western philosophical disciplines as are aesthetics, ontology, ethics, theology
and epistemology, so my research proposal represents a intercultural interchange and
chance to know another kind of rationality in a high level in view of the fact that is the
comparison between the western, specifically the pre-Socratic philosophy of Heraclitus
of Ephesus, but existentialism and deontology are also contemplated, and nahua
contributions to the global intellectuality, demonstrating that the Mexica cultural horizon
had a strongly singular thought with so many similarities with what is understood as
Philosophy in the western prospects. This means my proposal has the intention of thinking
again the History of philosophy and Philosophy itself
With all respect and humility, I expect an answer from you soon. And without nothing
more to add I leave you hoping you will be interested in my project.
Sincerely yours:
