<p>Well, I've been confused about what to write about for my personal statements - I know the topics, but I just don't know what to focus on ~</p>
<p>I heard (or read :P) that one should write about events that have shaped character, or affected point of views. </p>
<p>So many things have happened to me, that I don't know what to focus on. </p>
<p>My PCOS has affected me (even tho it's not a big deal like cancer or anything),
Me being the only Non-Christian in a pious Christian school has affected me, and taught me a lot (not in a negative way or anything)
The difference in my values and the values of my family (in Bangladesh)...
My horrible relationship with my step-mother...and awful home life (not particularly abusive or anything)...
My diversity has affected me (I move around a lot)...& taught me the meaning of understanding many point of views.
My struggles between my attitude and keeping my grades up have affected me. </p>
<p>To me, these events have made a huge difference in who I am today - but, it may not seem like it to other people...How do I convey my feelings correctly?</p>
<p>None of my "stories" have anything to do with Racism or Discrimination...even though the topics suggest otherwise, but I have had experience with these two topics...</p>
<p>I don't want to write about anything particularly touchy (I don't think it's recommended)...</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks so much :)</p>
