Sorry I didn't clarify, I'm applying to a speech language pathology masters program. I am receiving my BA in May and I love the field. My father's bout with cancer motivated me to pursue a health related career but I am unsure how I can relate that to the speech pathology field.

Okay, I am having trouble in writing my SOP, prompt is describe your reason for pursuing graduate study. I got onto the slp track because I found it interesting. I have always been interested in the health related fields. My father was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was 5 which motivated my interest. However I have been reading advice NOT to include 'sob stories'. My question being should I include this info and how can I link it to the SLP field if so.. Any help is appreciated
