Fine Art or Community Art.

Or PGCE in Secondary teaching.

if i don't continue with my education i'm going to get creative & set up a community art thing in Stoke, like doing Batique/Kite Making/Masking Making/Paper Mache Sculpture type community initiative in the area hopefully with a friend on the course.

I meant all the graduation certificates and stuff (its not called A-levels or GCSE in Germany). It has to be compared to the english school system I guess.
There are some differences and I can't send them my german graduation.
Sorry that this wasn't clear.

how long should your personal statement be?

If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,

I must have you!"

Here there is a limit (characters, rather than words I think) for personal statements, but have no idea about the States. I think most institutions set their own standards. Best to call/email them and ask.

In the UK it was 4000 characters, or 27 lines (I think) and it was whichever was the shortest was the limit.
