College Essays

<p>The prompt is as follows:</p>

<p>Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.</p>

<p>I was a bit confused as to should the personal statement be reflective of your intended job, major, what you want to do? </p>

<p>Truthfully I don't have many options as for what to write about haha so I'm a bit limited on what is available to write about but for example, I am leaning towards psychology or business major but I would have written about something like this</p>

<p>I was not very active in high school sports and groups. I was in a few clubs, had a few positions but nothing major like the football team. However that changed when I made it my goal to find something I really enjoyed. (From here on I would explore my various activities - Kung Fu, Track and Field, and maybe one more (if needed) then go on to explain how I joined choir and really liked it, got to know more people, perform on stage, etc.</p>

<p>Not sure if it would be a good idea to write about something that doesn't really lead to the shaping dreams and aspirations so what do you guys think?</p>

<p>I had an idea, would it be better to write about just choir (the main activity that I fit in, enjoyed, etc) then shortly mention the other activities I joined to find what I actually did like?</p>
