<p>I finished the one about the piece of advice but i dont know how to start the personal essay. I mean its not really specific cause it just says to tell about yourself. How should i write my intro? Do i start talking about why I want to go to deerfield or what?</p>
<p>For me, it really helped to look through autobiographies and things like that to see how they started off.</p>
<p>I am having the exact same problem – I want to start with something that draws them in, but everything seems so boring.</p>
<p>Just write about yourself, such as interests, passions, likes, dislikes, etc. Think of it as introducing yourself to your advisor. What do you want them to know?</p>
<p>My son’s response, although handwritten when he applied two years ago, was four pages.</p>
<p>just try and emphasize what makes you who you are and what sets you apart from other candidates.</p>
<p>Op, I am having a similar problem! I don’t how to start off my first paragrapg…should I literally start off with “Hello, my name is Polodolly. My favorite sport is… My family is…” I share your sentiments</p>
