Personal Statements: Best Foot Forward
Highlights
We’re back at Week 1 of this class, where the theme is Best Foot Forward. The best topic for your personal statement is usually something you did well at work or school. Get personal by showing the steps you took to make it happen. Our sample today is from an applicant who handled a last-minute venue cancellation as her sorority’s Event Chair.
