How should I structure my personal statement?

In terms of actual structure, the classic one is just fine, Introduction, Main Body and Conclusion. However, there's a set of questions you should be able to respond to in each section. I do believe having an all around good personal statement is great, but even though some may disagree, I strongly think having a witty beginning and something that flows really nicely is a big plus and makes a great first impression!
