Augh, this is so difficult! I said. How do I describe this in one sentence? Listen to some rap, said my housemate. They can usually describe things in brief.
Here's the rap version of my graduate school statement of intent. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds.
I wrote an analysis
about the school reformists
who been hanging in the town
since afore y'all been around
i sat reading in the library
learned bout the lack of integrity
got deep into the history
how to get out was a myst'ry
i went to work for the district
figured i'd been a'tricked
everything was all confused
folks thought they were being used
i learned about geography
and how it married sociology
and then was borned ethnicity
without a lot of specificity
all sorts of folks came by migration
then faced some major segregation
due to some cool litigation
there began school integration
they landed in the bay
and came from across the way
folks rode in on the train
and flew over by plane
i've learned and i've taught
and i think i've found what i sought
so i'd like to go to your school
and not be any kind of fool.
