Personal statements arent that hard, and considering most ucas forms only get 60 seconds of viewng time each by the time they get to yrs, its not a mojor thing.
U have to put down wot u have achieved in yr life, any thing u do out of school, they always like to know u havent just been studying flat out for 13 years, heh.
But otherwise just talk about yrself, and wot u would add to the uni :D
U should be ok when it comes to talkin about yrself :D |

Taking a year out this year is the best thing iv ever done in my life. It lets you get some well diserved rest and u can save some money etc...
anyway, here is my personal statement. It is prob different to everyone else's because i want to be a teacher lol so it evolves around that, but hope it helps.
"Choosing teaching as a career has required thoughtful consideration and I have used the last three years to ensure I will be making the right choices. When I was 15 completed two weeks of work experience in a local primary school. I spent time working with small groups of infant children and spent time talking to them and supporting with their work. It was at this point that I began to realise that teaching could be fulfilling career choice. Two years later I built on my previous experience by completing a second work placement once again in an infant school. I quickly settled into the classroom and I was pleased that I had become more confident with the children. The pleasure I gained from working and talking with them had not dimmed and I knew that I had as much to learn from the children as they might have from me. I built on this experience further by working in a 'Summer School'. The children were aged 11+ and my responsibilities included working one to one with individuals, supporting their reading and helping them with written literacy tasks. I was glad that I had been able to take this opportunity to work with older children and I quickly gained confidence dealing with behavioural issues.
Currently I am completing my final year in the 6th form studying English Literature, History and Psychology. I feel these subjects will provide me with a broad foundation for any future teaching career plans. I am retaking science and maths G.C.S.E as I am determined to achieve an essential higher grade in
I wish to study English to a higher degree level as part of my teacher training as this is a subject I enjoy and I feel my enthusiasm will inspire and engage children in my care. I know that a love of books and reading can open up many avenues and lead to greater understanding across al curricular areas.
My Catholic faith is an integral part of my life and I regularly attend my local church. I have spent several days at the Briars (a spiritual retreat) and took the opportunity to spend time reflecting on both personal and spiritual needs whilst also reflecting on important decisions I may be making about my future.
Outside of school hours I take part in a range of activities. I am currently a member of my local gym and I enjoy playing a number of team sports including football, and badminton. I have continued to build on a successful one year A.S computer course taken last year. I can confidently use the Internet to aid research and have developed a high level of skill using many I.T packages including Databases, word-processing and art packages..... |

....I recognise that teamwork is an essential skill for any aspiring teacher and I have taken part in the Duke of Edinborough award scheme. I participated in a weekend expedition for my Bronze award and enjoyed working with a wide range of people. By taking part in the Duke of Edinborough scheme I have developed confidence in leadership skills and took responsibility for some group activities. Last year I worked with 17 other students to set up and run our own company as part of the Young Enterprise Scheme. My role was 'operations director'. I quickly realised that for our company to be successful all opinions were valid and worthy of discussion. By the end of the year...
I cant find the rest, but hope it helped.
