Personal Statement

Sunny70

So I am trying to get into UCLA to finish my BA and I have to say I feel like a severely old lady trying to write the "Personal Statement." Do you think I should mention the deep life lessons I have learned lately while pumping my breastmilk in the bathroom stall at work or how my hair falling out has taught me how important an education really is... gah! LOL

How about being a role model for B?

Thanks, I have some good role model stuff in there, and some good triumph over adversity stuff about my young life as a foster child and my drug addict parents. Now I can't even log on to the UCLA site, I have been at this for 3 hours, I am so frustrated I am ready to take over the faculty building and stage a sit-in. - ha ha I guess I am not the only procrastinator who wants to go to UCLA.

Honestly throw in the stuff about pumping BM in the bathroom and your hair falling out from pp hormones and how your role as a mother, complete with accessories of bodily fluids not your own, is a constant reminder of benefit of humility.  It'll make you stand out and they'll get a little laugh.
