Using the word "you"?

<p>Would you say it's acceptable to use the word "you"/"your"/"yourself" in your college personal statement? I could give some examples in context or what not if needed... my AP english teacher who I asked to look over it didn't say anything about it though. I kind of feel like replacing them with "one" or something similar gives it almost a too formal and unnatural feel for a personal statement....thoughts?
Thanks..hoping to finish this whole process soon -__-</p>

<p>don’t switch person.</p>

<p>one doesn’t have to give it an unnatural feel. hell, you could probably even use ‘me/myself’.</p>
