What should I include in a personal statement?

We shall begin by brainstorming all the things the student wishes to include or thinks are significant.

Then we shall narrow down the opptions and look at what is most significant in context to their specific application. Then we shall look not just at what they've done, but what they've gained from this and how it has aided them. This will ensure the application is not just a list of achievements, but a explanation of how they've used this tools to aid themselves.
