How would I show my passion for the subject I wish to pursue for my degree in my personal statement?

Talk about any relevant work experience/activities doneIf no work experience or activities - any reading you have done which is relevant to the subjectShow general enthusiasm throughout the statement - an overall positive attitude towards life and towards yourselfIllustrate you have read about what the course offers - potential modules or sections of the degree you want to pursue the most and whyShow that you wish to use the degree in order to achieve something - even if it isn't necessarily what you might want to do in 3 years time, a general idea of knowing the direction your degree can take you shows you have thought about the course
