thanks for the responses Tigers Eye, Kabir Dada and Hatebreed!
Tiger's Eye- A personal statement is best defined as a document that allows you to show off why your suited for the course u want to pick at a higher level of education.
Kabir- I'm not sure what a letter of intent is....lol, but i think it may be slightly different, not quite a letter but it is intended to show off your abilities, your skills and how you have proved your interest.
Hatebreed- thanks a bunch bro! i'll find someone to help me, my parents have looked at my first draft, its far too long!i got characters and words mixed up in terms of limit!
i'll need to work on it. I'll let u know when im done, providing u have the time to check it of course. Thanks for the advice!
