Personal Statement

Personal Statement
I believe that I would be the perfect person for the farmhand position. I have always enjoyed working with my hands, and being the son of a farmer has allowed me to do such work. Working on a farm for a lot of my life has instilled in me a hard work ethic along with a positive work attitude. I would gladly do a day of hard farm work over a day of easy desk work anytime just for that sense of accomplishment that I get at the end.
Throughout the last eighteen years of my life I have developed a good sense of self discipline and a hard work ethic. I have always excelled at managing my time and rarely get a job done late. I do not plan to be a farmer for the rest of my life; however, I am just hoping to make some money to help me pay for my college education. I will be attending the University of Minnesota for a degree in environmental science. Working on a farm would increase my self discipline, which would help me in the long run.
I believe that I amt he perfect applicant for this job because of my past farm experience. I spent a summer working on a farm last year and really learned a lot of applicable new skills. I am comfortable using machinery and am a quick learner. I chosen, I would make a great addition to your operation. I looking forward to this opportunity and would like to hear from you soon.

Overall you did a good job. I liked all the positive examples you used througout the statement. And refering back to your past experience is a great way to prove your worth. But I noticed how you were kind of repetitive in a couple spots.
