Personal Statement Topic Opinion
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:26 am
Just wanted to get some opinions on a couple of personal statement topics that I consider most valid in my life and just see where you all may rank them.
A. Lessons I learned being involved as a member of a State Emergency Response Team responding to the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill.
B. Growing up with an illiterate mother and assisting her as I grew up. (Desire to pursue education in light of my experience with parents with absolutely no education).
C. Joys of being a father and my drive to provide for my daughters.
I am not necessarily going for the cliche "I had a hard life, so this is why I should be admitted". I would rather be admitted based on my own merit and achievements. So what do you all think? Any other angles you may take with these topics?
Thanks!
