What to include in your personal statement

Personal statement is a personal account of one's motivation for a particular subject. As such, it needs to be original and include events and thoughts that have shaped one's passion. One useful model when thinking about what to include is what you did, how you did it, what you learned from it and in what way does it demonstrate your motivation for your studies.
