      • Discuss an activity or experience that has helped you to clarify your long-term academic goals.
      • Name a class or internship that you have taken to develop expertise in your major field of study.
      • Describe a person who has shaped your values or beliefs.
      • In five years, where do you see yourself working and what do you envision yourself doing?
      • Describe your hometown and explain its impact on your beliefs or values.
      • Discuss an obstacle that you’ve had to overcome to achieve your academic goals.

    4. Step 2: Start writing your essay
      • Write from your gut. You’re used to writing from your head. Don’t let your head make it up. Listen to your gut, and get it down.
      • You can’t tell them everything. Have a few main points you want to get across, and let them find out the rest of your story in your resume, interview, letters of recommendation, and other elements of your application.
      • When you decide on the main points and stories you want to tell, answer these questions: What is the point of the story you’re telling? What do you need to include to tell it well? What isn’t necessary?
      • Have many others read it for objectivity and distance, since this is the most personal topic you’ll ever write about.

    5. Step 3: Double-double-check
      • Get other people to read it, mainly your family, friends, teachers and anyone else who you think will be able to give you a good opinion. As well as checking for spelling and grammar mistakes, they will be able to tell you if they think there is anything you've missed out. Also show it to head of year or career advisers, people like this will have seen a lot of statements, and have a good idea what they should sound like.
