What is a Personal Statement and Why You Need One

A personal statement is something that one writes when applying to a school. It is an essay that explains why you’re interested in studying at this particular institution. It also gives admissions officers insight into your personality and character.

However, come to think of it, you need a personal statement for yourself even when you are not studying and applying to a college. A personal statement defines who you are, what values you believe in, what you can tolerate (an what you won’t). Your personal statement is, in fact, your mission statement for life. It helps you set a course in life and follow it, in the face of all the challenges and setbacks. That’s why I believe that every girl and woman needs to have a personal statement. Set one if you already don’t have one. And if you have it, please share it with ww4Society audience. I have just shared mine above!

Love.
