In this short course, students learn to write a specific essay type called the personal statement, also known as a personal narrative. College applications almost always require a “tell us about yourself” or personal statement essay. The discomfort students typically experience when writing about themselves often results in a personal statement essay that is far too brief and lacking in interesting stories and anecdotes that truly engage the reader.
