What is a "personal statement"?
A personal statement is a written description where an individual explains their motivations, experiences, and qualifications for applying to a school, program, or job.

Personal statements often highlight key achievements, challenges overcome, and aspirations, helping admissions committees or employers understand the applicant's background and fit for the position.
