HELP ME PLEEAAASEEE!!! Essays..

Is any one good with essay writing???
I really need help! Any helpful suggestions!
I am writing essays for MBA admission at NYU, and I am starting with the personal statement. Should be easy.. right?!?!?!


Its not!

Can anyone help?
Any suggestions appreciated!

I got an A+ in my college Eng. class...so I'll try...
How about thinking of different words to describe yourself. Then think of different experiences you've had in recent/past history, and how those experiences have change you, or what you learned from them. Put those things together for your personal statement, and the thoughts should start to flow..
good luck...

No!

Just 'how would you describe yourself to your classmates'.

Its cheezy.
I started with my experience as a young child in Italy, working, but now, don't know where to go from there!

I am stuck...

you can see I am very frustrated!

How about compare/contrast your experience as a young child in Italy, working - to you today..your experiences, point out similarities...etc....

HTH

what have been some challenges in your life? How did you over come them? What did you learn from them?

what are you passionate about?

What do you hope to attain in the future... short term/ long term?

how will your education help you to achieve that?

what made you who you are today?

what are your values? what do you value?


(just some ideas)

Why don't you just describe yourself to US, then formulate your essay from what you tell us. Maybe we can ask you questions as if we are looking to learn more about you. Kind of lame, but it might work?

Great Idea!
when I was 9 I came to the United states from the former soviet union.
In italy (which is what I wrote in the essay) I sold russian toys to support my family.

I kinda wanna go towards the direction, how I always worked hard, and always accomplished.

I went to school for computer science.
I now work in a technology company, in sales.

OMG, you ALREADY have a life that I would LOVE to hear about! DEFINITELY talk about your childhood a lot. You sound like you've lead a very interesting life up to this point. Someone like me has very little that is interesting about me, but you...you're like a good story already!

great idea, rachel!!

Also, google 'resume power words' and throw in some of those.... Strong words will also make your statement more Bold.

and when i write (or used to write, anyway) essays, i would throw in a few quotes (like notable ones... like MLK, jr, etc)... and then relate that quote to your personal motto

thsi is one of my favorites... and sounds liek it can tie into your story.....

'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy'

I like that that!!

hhhmmm... how do I tie that in...?
Perhaps it can be my conclusion? Summarizing rising up to the challenge.

what do you think?

i usually use something like that to either Open or Close my essay.

i think that it would be a great way to conclude. it can tie everything together- and you can put how this foundation is what has made you who you are today, and helps you aspire to who you Want to be in the future
