Memories


Writing a personal statement is like digging through the old photos somewhere in the back of your closet. All of a sudden you remember many things both good and bad that happened to you. It’s like a movie of your past playing right before your eyes. You remember people you thought you forgot, the time you got in trouble for something funny, the first time you had a hug crush, and you also remember the music that was playing during those times. While it’s true that those memories won’t come back, you have a little piece of that history in your IPod and now you feel like listening to it. You then decide to start writing your personal statement but end up writing a story about yourself. I guess it’s hard to let go of some memories, especially if they are some of the best you have ever had but it has to be done. Only after you stop dwelling in the past, can you move forward. Only if you keep your feet in the ground, can you make a good personal statement.
