Personal Statement: A Personal Analysis

983 Words4 Pages

I’ve always seen myself as an independent and driven student since a young age and I have always worked my hardest to be the best I can be, whether it was intellectually or personally. I’ve always put my time into reading, writing, and trying to learn as much as I could. From a young age, I knew I wanted to go to college, however, I never knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Each and every project I have worked on was filled with a passion to do the best I possibly could. Some of my favorite personal experiences I have done to further my knowledge include my time spent on Social Studies and Science Fairs, as well as my attendance to two of the state’s Governors school and the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Rhododendron Girls
