every time if you desire to apply to a university, apply for a scholarship, and so on.. you`re have to write a personal statement. everyone`s always saying, sell yourself, make yourself sound very confident, impress them, blow them away and so on.. and so you sit down and think.. hmm what`s good about myself?? a long list starts to roll out in your mind.. you eagerly start taking out a pen and paper, or start up your computer, and start putting that long list down in print. but suddenly, you stop. you hesitate. you wonder. am i really what i think i am?? am i what the people reading my essay wants me to be?? this followed by a sense of fright. would others condemn me?? what if they laugh at me??? i don`t want to seem like a stucked up person. and so, you start looking for friends to help you. but the truth is, no one really knows you than yourself. yes , you , you the one reading. you are the one that knows yourself the best. never ever trust anyone completely as everyone always has a vested interest. oh s***. diverted from the main point. when writing a personal statement, there is is no WRONG or CORRECT essays but there is always a RIGHT essay. poeple are always telling you to BE YOURSELF. but it always means, BE WHAT I LIKE YOU TO BE. this is not bullshit, it`s true. in this huge world we live in, every job we do or even the personality we have. have to be likeable. how subjective don`t you think??? i definately think so.
dun be perasan ar.
