Yet if you dont feel like doing it yourself we will be happy to help. Our writers will do everything they can to make you seem a perfect candidate for any kind of program or course you have chosen to apply. What is a personal statement? A sort of autobiography that has to persuade college admissions board (or any other body or person) to accept you. Why is it difficult to write one? When did you become interested in this field and what have you learned about it (and about yourself) that has further stimulated your interest and reinforced your conviction that you are well suited to this field? Concentrate on your opening paragraph. The lead or opening paragraph is generally the most important. It is here that you grab the reader's attention or lose it. This paragraph becomes the framework for the rest of the statement. For example, references to experiences or accomplishments in high school or earlier are generally not a good idea. Don't mention potentially controversial subjects (for example, controversial religious or political issues). Do some research, if needed.
