Preparation for Personal Essay

Please come to class prepared to give an oral presentation about yourself. As a listener, you can help by asking questions.

Remember the generic personal essay is about why you are in college; who or what inspired you; why you selected your major; what your short and long term goals are; and to write about any challenge you might have faced. If there has been a huge "bump" in the road for you, what did you learn from it? Has working and giving to others made you a better person?

The judges want to know who you are and why you are more deserving than the other applicant.
