"ahh personal statments, my only weakness" - ITT

It seems that most people on the forum mention how they have a "great personal statement". What about the people that feel this is their weakness?
I am not a particularly strong writer and each time I look over my PS, there are things I want to change, ad infinitum.
Luckily I managed a strong diversity statement (thanks to hopefulundergrad, who convinced me earlier today to write one) because my diversity has given me some funny things to write about.
Anyway, my point is that here we can talk about how we hope our personal statements are viewed favorably and that they don't do anything to mess up our good numbers.
