So Anthony is going to talk about three tips from a creative writing standpoint on how to make your personal statement better. I wrote my personal statement and it was like from a medical standpoint but it was horrible so I asked him for his help because I was like, you're a great writer. I was like, I need your help, you see me struggling and he helped me out tremendously. First of all, if you haven't seen that video, be sure to hit that description box below. There's a link for the video where she just did what she talked about, she actually read through her old personal statement and her new personal statement and you get a good look at that right there. As a disclaimer you guys, I am not a professional in the PA career so this is not a perspective from somebody who is coming from the careers, it's just a perspective of a creative writer. I am a professional creative writer so I do an aspect of what I do for a living. So here are my three tips on how you can improve your personal statement. I'll see you guys. If you want to hear more tips on how to write your personal statement, not from a creative standpoint but from a PA standpoint, the medical view, just let me know and I'll be sure to get that out for you guys. Alright, tip number one. So listen, alright, if you're watching this, you're probably really smart. So usually smart people like this one right here, all of you guys are very good at just, I don't know, being vain and talking about yourself and telling everybody how amazing you are and what you've accomplished in school and in life and your GPA is 3.99 GPA and you did this trip and you have so much of this. You're really good at doing all that stuff so since you're good at that already, I'm going to go ahead and tell you some pieces that are going to be a little bit more complimentary. Complimentary? Complimentary? Yes. Complimentary. See, you know, I'm not, you know, there's things I've got to work on my day so. But here are some other pieces of that. So number one, you've got to keep in mind that all the schools that you're applying to, these people are reading through hundreds if not thousands of personal statements from people and a lot of them are just so much of the same thing. So number one, you've got to start your personal statement with something that's immediately, immediately going to capture their attention to the point where they're going to want to keep reading. On Adonis personal statement that I helped her with, we started with just an intro sentence. You can check that out once again on that other video she did where she read through the whole thing. But we started off with an intro sentence about a gene land. And we just took, we took the reader in the very first sentence and put them in the mind of a story. So it was sort of a fun, interesting thing. And once you read that first statement, it's like, wow, this is so different from everything else I've been reading for the past three hours. Let me keep reading. And a lot of times you guys are, so a lot of times people can be a little bit scared to be creative. And when you're dealing with a personal statement like this or dealing with a situation where you're trying to capture people's attention, it's not wrong to be creative. It's actually a plus. So you want to be a little bit more creative and do something, say something, put them in a place where they want to keep reading. Take them to Acreba. What's that? To Latin. Oh gosh. You look a little bit like that one though. Do I? No, sure. Her hair was back in like... That's right. She had that big up. Number two, once you've captured their attention, you guys, you want to continue to bring them along on your journey. Remember, this is your personal statement. That doesn't mean that you have to tell them everything about how wonderful and what you're doing in there, but what you also want to do is touch their emotions. Say some things in that personal statement that's going to get them to feel you. Remember, these are human beings reading your personal statement. These are people with children of their own and they have a heart. So if you can say things in your personal statement that they can connect to, whether it's telling a short moment about your cousin who passed, and that's what triggered your response to want to get in the medical field, or whatever the case is, something that is going to emotionally attach to them and just creatively share that without getting too, you know, graphic and detailed. My cousin got shot in the face three times! The doctor helped me out. All you got to do is just make sure that you touch their emotions, bring them along on your journey by touching their emotions through your story. Remember, your personal statement is not just a collection of information about yourself, it's also a story. That's deep, actually. Dang! Shoot! Your personal statement is not just a collection of information, it's also your story. So make sure that from the start to the middle to the end, you make it a story. That's really deep, which leads into tip number three. The final tip, you guys, when you're in your closing statement, you want to make sure that you end very strong. And in creative writing, some of the best ways to end strong is where you attach the end of your story to the beginning of your story. So what you want to do is, just like we did with Adana's second personal statement, we started off with the story of the genie lamp and we talked about how she wanted to make a wish to become a PA. And then at the end of it, in her final paragraph, actually in her final sentence, she reminded the reader about that genie lamp. And that triggered the emotional response to remember that beginning part. And then she was able to actually engage that reader by posing the question, to become a PA. It put that reader in position to have the power to let this woman become in her program. So it's all part of this story. You know, it's really kind of deep, man. Like, I didn't, like, we came into this just kind of thinking about the three tips, but even through talking it out and writing it live in front of you guys, we just now realize that the power in your personal statement is not just your information, but it's the story that you put together. So be sure to do a great job at telling your story creatively. If you're not a great creative writer, if your strength is not in creative storytelling, then work with someone who can help enhance your personal statement and enhance your story by adding in those creative elements that will get those people who are looking at your personal statement to really be attached to you.
