how do I write a good personal statement?

Hi,Your personal statement needs to tell the reader exactly why you are studying the subject you are applying for and your passion for it.It needs to remain very concise and to the point.You need to include a lot of examples of academic reading or research that you have shown interest to and prove analytical thought about it.You need to make sure your personality shines through your personal statement and that at the end of the page the reader knows exactly what kind of student you are.
