<p>Does it need to be something like REALLY REALLY Personal that you wouldn't tell anyone not even your best friend?? I can't think of anything to write that is really personal.........HELP!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>No, not really. It doesn’t have to be personal at all. But what you want to do is write about something that displays a quality you possess.</p>
<p>For me, I wrote about how I created a club in my school with limited resources and no support. I tried to show that I had leadership, perseverance, and determination in that essay.</p>
<p>It can be about something as simple as a character trait. Personal statement simple means something you’d say, perhaps, what you want to get about about you, to define you.</p>
<p>Treat the essay as a proclamation–in fact, it’s your introduction, more or a less, to the UC college admissions officers.</p>
