Please can you help me conduct a mock interview?

I would like you to conduct a mock interview for me

NigPatriot:
The US F1 visa is largely dependent on your sponsorship, so try as much as possible to touch and be explicit on that - include what your sponsor does and have (properties). When you don't have funding/scholarship, you need to do heavy work on your fluency (delivery). Especially when talking about your sponsor.

Thank you for your response, do I need to do more on any other part of my transcript?

Is that the only thing I need to work on, and is every other thing okay?

VO: you have a bsc in agric.
Me: yes with a concentration in soil science
VO: So, why a MPH degree
Me: During my internship, I got to work on the field with agricultural producers and I experienced the amount of chemical exposure that goes on in production of the food we consume as well as to the agricultural producers who do not take measures to protect themselves from these chemicals and chemical exposure in food can lead to some diseases related with the lungs and even cancer, that was when I decided that I wanted to protect agricultural producers while preserving the environment and meeting food requirements with safe practices and this degree and the coursework will help me achieve this goal
VO: research interest
Me: I am in contact with a prof who is the director of the Centre I am interested in working in and he as shown interest in what attracted me to the degree and has offered me a position in his research team and I intend working with him.
He is currently working on presence of arsenic in rice and its effect on human health and I am interested in this research because rice is one of the staple food in Nigeria
VO: Future plans
Me: After my degree, I will return to Nigeria to resume a position with SRS to carry out chemical assessment and toxicology evaluation of chemicals used in agricultural production to ensure they are safe to use for both man and crop and are efficient and also carry out occupational safety checks on Agricultural industry . I also intend to partner with NGO and young agricultural producers to carry out sensitization on the need for PPE on the field as well as why traditional prepared preservatives does more harm than good.
I would also work to bridge the gap between health and agriculture in Nigeria.
