Is this personal statement strong or weak?

Dear esteemed professors at Hamad Bin Khalifa University,

My name is Hadeel. I was born in Sudan in 1990 and moved to Qatar in 1997 after my father joined Aljazeera channel in 1996. I lived here my whole life and graduated from Qatar University twice.

I am interested in the program of Women's Studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University because it is an area of study that is close to my heart. The first reason is that I have been a victim of a family that abuses women's rights. Second, learning about this field interests me a lot. I have been one of the top students to my feminist professor Dr. Hatoon Al-Fassi and philosophy professor Dr. Edward Moad. Both have had a strong impact on the way I view the world. Dr. Al Fassi has shown me new approaches to interpret Islam whereas Dr. Moad has introduced me to the fascinating world of philosophy.

Philosophy has always been my favorite subject. I have always been passionate about interpreting the world and learning why and how to influence it. Taking this program will give me an opportunity to learn more about how to contribute to the development of society and women in particular.

I would like to be an Islamic feminist activist in the middle east. I have already started a twitter feminist account and it got nearly 10k followers in only three months. In this account, I focus mostly on criticizing the masculine bias in interpreting the Quran as Dr. Al- Fassi has taught me.

I believe I have a strong ability to convince people، and using modern social media accounts helps me more because social media is very popular. All I need is to improve my knowledge of women's studies in order to have a stronger voice. Thus, I decided to pursue the honor of joining this program.
