How do I start my personal statement?

First, let's brainstorm some ideas and jot down some points on what you want to include. We can go through these and start to structure the skeleton of your statement and what you would like to include in each paragraph.
Then, if you are still struggling to start writing it, we can have a look at a few samples online together in your subject area to dry and get inspiration - however, remember to always use your own words.
