Personal statement

Write about an event in your life that will engage readers and that will, at the same time, help them understand the significance of the event.

Tell your story dramatically and vividly.

Keep in mind that this should be a single event that took place over a relatively short amount of time. Paper should be between 800-1000 words (that’s about 2.5-3.5 pages).
