<p>I need to write a personal statement for a local scholarship. The thing is, I don't really know what to write. Not writers block, I just don't know what people talk about in these things. Could someone please give me a skeleton of what it should look like (they want it to be 150-500 words long), and perhaps some advice on what to write? Any help would be much appreciated! :)</p>
<p>Choose whatever topic allows you to be the most personal, detailed, honest and revealing.</p>
