When it came to the topic i was going to choose for my personal essay i thought back on some of the highlights that have happened in the 18 years of my life. So there was a lot, but i could see a single thing that stood out to me the most which was when i won the soccer state championship in 2005 with my soccer team from Dartmouth.

ReplyDeleteYou probably will remember this well enough to let the reader visualize your experience. What you might want to think about as you're writing is purpose--what are you trying to say *about* this experience that maybe even non-athletes can relate to? did this experience change you in some way, or did you learn from it? Does it say anything about how teams function best? Or about sportsmanship? About hard work? Was there any player on the team who exemplifies some desirable or undesirable quality? Think about why a reader who doesn't know you will want to read about yr moment of glory? What can he/she learn or how can he/she relate your experience to his/her own?
