Autobiography essays may combine facts with a little fiction

Autobiographical essays, also known as personal narratives, are personal statements in which the student describes an event or a series of events that have turned him or her into the person they are today. An autobiography essay should show the examiners why is this student valuable and why should he or she be admitted into college, or be granted a scholarship. Think of every admission or scholarship as an investment someone else is making in you: you should persuade them that you totally worth it.
Of course, the first thing you should think about when you are preparing one of these personal statements is what will you write about. Try avoiding cliches like school trips to the Parliament or the first time you voted… think of a topic that is unique and truly describes you as the person you are today. A stronger, wiser person, because you got to live through it.
