Personal Statement / don't know where/how to begin; ideas
« on: December 14, 2004, 12:35:02 AM »
I've been digging through this forum for ideas, though I haven't found many PSs posted (most seem to be 'email for help!' threads).
I need to get this PS taken care of so the remainder of my applications can be on their way. The only problem is that I don't even know where to begin.
I was going to basically sum up my resume/accomplishments until I stumbed upon this forum. I now realize that's the wrong way of doing things, and haven't been able to materialize a new outline.
I guess what I'm asking for is some ideas on what to write. A few tidbits about myself..
- Grew up in a professional baseball family
- Success in both academics / baseball throughout high school and college
- Professional (minor league) baseball experience
- Currently running a self-started baseball school business (after graduating college this past spring)
As you can see my PS will contain some.. baseball. I don't really have an idea of what to focus on, or how I should possibly tie a number of those topics together. Funny how my writing ability grinds to a halt when asked to write about myself.
Again I'd really appreciate any help and/or suggestions you guys may have. Thanks in advance.
