Isn?t it tiring to read a person?s biography over and over again? You will feel the same way if you were an admissions officer reading students? personal essays that say similar things. Moreover, you could get bored and annoyed with the number of cliche essays all piled up on your desk. In the end, you?d wish someone wrote differently. To avoid boring your readers to death, below are ways you can make your personal statement original.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t stuff your essay with cliches<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are the one reading hundreds of personal statements and many of them are cliches , you will feel like all of the students just copied each other and are all have the same personality and interests. In addition, you will have a difficult time remembering each student and what they said. To avoid becoming one-of-the-boring students, include information that are unique to you. Be honest and personal in writing your essay to add variety.<\/p>\n Focus on your own personal story<\/strong><\/p>\n You might think of yourself as uninteresting, but in fact, you?re the opposite. And everyone has a different story to tell, so go ahead and tell what?s yours. Be creative. If your friend wrote about how he struggled to get through school while working and you have a similar experience, you can write about your perspectives in being a working student and the lessons you?ve learned from such an experience. A subtle twist always helps in essay writing.<\/p>\n Share your own thoughts on the topic<\/strong><\/p>\n While preparing for your essay, you may have read examples of personal statements as a guide. Using examples are advisable, but using the same\u00a0topics\u00a0and content is not. So as you talk about yourself in your personal statement, discuss your personal thoughts as well. Fight the urge to say claims made in example essays to avoid sounding like one.<\/p>\n Related links:<\/strong><\/p>\n Competitiveness as topic \u2013 How to write about your competitive personality in an admission essay Isn?t it tiring to read a person?s biography over and over again?
