Collegiate

Alrighty.  I know I'm super behind in my education... I've had a hard life since graduating hell, I mean high school.  I made the decision to stay home and go to a junior college instead of going straight to a 4 year out of high school.  Now that I look back, very smart of me, but at the time I was hating everyone for "making" me stay home.

Now that I'm transfering I have to write a personal statement.  The statement is to be about what makes me unique, how Duquesne will help me achieve my personal, educational, and career goals and my voluteerism background.  Sounds easy enough... but when I sit down to type, nothing comes to mind.  I know I want to include my bypass.

The statement is to be a window into me, correct?  Wouldn't including the positive outcome in my life be good?  It would prove to admissions I'm a quality person and while my studies at the junior college were poor, I was a good student (3.86 in HS) and plan to return to high status.  I guess I just don't know how to write that.  How can I convince someone in another state I'm not a waste of time.  Ya know?

I believe I have the goals covered.  The volunteering... I have 4H and FFA as well as all of my "pro bono" music work, he he.  I have enough of that to fill pages... but its the opening and me that I want to draw them in.  Writing the paper isn't a problem, its the talking about me ha ha!

Thanks to those who give me anything, its totally appreciated!!!

It looks like you have some really great ideas of what to put in your personal statment.  I would start by writing an outline of what you want to cover and then add little details in your outline and that might make it easier for you to organize your thoughts and get them down on paper.  Good Luck!

Thanks gorgeous!!!
