i have already done a year of university but am applying to a college in England. I need to write a statement of purpose but am totally lost. I have mentioned my love for the subject and why i want to study it but when i get down to writing about me... i sound like im boasting in the essay... i just don't know what to do... there must be a way to write about myself without sounding obnoxious... how does one impress a psychology professor who would read my essay?

What have you done. IE: volunteered to work with people with mental health issues etc. what makes you interested in the field, your passion to help people and research methods to help them things like this. Just be yourself and tell the truth Don't embellish anything just state the facts.
