PS topic trouble Forum

[sgp_lycee]

I'm in the process of trying to write my PS, but I can't decide what my topic should be. I did read JustDude's advice which is why I'm not really sure what I should write about now.


My UG GPA is not awesome and I'm not sure if I should write about how I've changed nearly 4 years later. I'm a high school teacher (1 year inner city, 2 years South Korea), so I have situations that connect well with growing and learning.
or

A situation that occurred in my teaching while in South Korea with my principal who was a mentally and emotionally unstable bigot and how I and several other teachers were, by Korean legal definition, being harassed by him and how I and several other teachers ousted him.

or
How I helped to academically build a school in a South Korea and the pitfalls that go with creating an idea in a foreign place that doesn't fully support or understand the mission.


Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Though the situation was a bit different, my PS was also (partially) about a bigoted school director in South Korea. I believe it served me well (stats/results in profile) and if you'd like to chat through stuff, let me know!

Go with this for your PS. I wouldn't want to dwell on such a negative topic like the other one. As far as the bad grades go, write an addendum explaining why they were low and be sure to mention any upward trends.
