    Growing up, I never expected to have the opportunity to go away to college. I thought I would have no other choice but to attend a community school. Not that there is anything wrong with community college, but my family just did not have the money to send me anywhere else. Although my parents have always supported me in anything I’ve ever done, they never really pushed me to focus on my future. They probably don’t even know what FAFSA is.…

    Graduate School Personal Statement Assignment The earliest memory I have of my fondness for psychology is sitting in my mother’s office, scanning a bookshelf filled with psychology books to find a book with a friendly title. As I was only around nine or ten years old, a friendly title to me was anything that I could reasonably understand, but slowly that changed, and I began choosing the books that interested me. In fact, because my mother was a psychologist, I was able to have long conversations with her about interesting psychology topics, and I would always ask her the different questions that I had. And eventually as I got older, there were two eureka moments that sparked my interest in studying psychology.…

Mainly because a personal statement is an important aspect of your high school career in order to be accepted to the college you would like to attend in the future. When I became a high school senior, I didn’t know what to do, what to write, or where to even begin with the two essays. I was lost and confused.
