Hey everyone! I've been thinking a lot about my personal statement for college applications lately. It’s such a crucial part of the process, and I want to make sure I stand out. Just the other day, I was reflecting on my journey. Back in high school, I had a tough time figuring out what to write about. I remember when I decided to share my experience volunteering at a local shelter. It was a transformative moment for me. It not only shaped my views but also pushed me to pursue a career in social work. I'm curious, what are your thoughts on choosing personal stories for a statement? How do you think I could make my experience resonate more with the admissions committee?
