<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>So my application is due in a little more than a week, and I can't seem to get my dramatic essay done. I know my story, what I want to say, but it seems like I've forgotten how to write narrative stories after all those personal statement essays. -_-</p>
<p>Haha, so if anyone out there who wants to share their dramatic essay with a desperate asian, get at me. :)</p>
<p>I'm an internal transfer, but I still had to write the same dramatic essay. And at first, when I wrote it, I wrote it in a diary format, because I thought it'd be an interesting and somewhat different format for a reader to read. However, after getting a couple of people to read it, I saw that it wasn't really an ESSAY, even though it was an interesting story. So, I scrapped it, and kind of just wrote an essay through my own voice, and it ended up working out. So that's my main piece of advice: really put your voice into it. Do you want the audience to be sad? To laugh? Don't concentrate on a 5-paragraph essay type of formality, but do express yourself in an articulate way. </p>
<p>And if you're still stuck, I guess look at essays that have the same tone of voice that you're going for in your own essay, and see what you think makes those essays carry out that tone.</p>
<p>I don't know if that helped at all, but good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks, I ended up doing a deep description about an event that took place in like 10 minutes, haha.</p>
