Personal Statements

Does anyone have any advice on how to write one?

You could always start by writing who you are. And then move on to what you like to do/what makes you special.

And don't make it too formal--have snippets of narrative, you're good at that. :D

At least, that's what I did for my personal statement for entering Tech.

Didn't they have a guide for writing personal statements at the Career Center? I think I saw it there when we went there with you last time.

I've written a few personal statements, but my best one is crafted around an event in my life that was very difficult and now defines who I am as a person. Don't worry about telling exactly who you are and what you represent...craft a narrative that shows those things.

Does that help at all?
