what should i include in a personal statement/essay?

i am applying for a new school in a new country. in the application form it says that i need to send the form with a hand written BRIEF personal essay.

im not sure what to include, i went to see my current school careers counseller but it was not of much help. he said to write an A4 page or less. include my interests and evidence that i have carried out my interest. “i like sports + i am in a lot of school sport teams”.

what else should i include? and how do i write it sounding professional and not all about me even thought the essay is about me. how do i start the essay? any ideas. anything would be good. PLEASE HELP!

NOTE: this is only for high school not a university pesrsonal statement

It is always interesting and even a bit frightening to go to a new country.

The advice that you received is good, but I would add a number things.

Indicate that you are moving from one country to another country. Tell why.

Emphasize your excitement about being in a new school and in a new country.

Why do you want to be at this school? I assume it is a private school since public schools do not usually require personal statements.

Look over what you have written to see that there are no grammatical or spelling errors.

What is your favorite subject and why?

Have you had any interesting experiences in school?

What are your career goals?

Why do you look forward to attending the new school? Be optimistic and upbeat.

What are some of your interests? Hopefully one is reading and that there is a good balance in sports, clubs, and cultural activities.

Have a few people look over your statement and make suggestions.

Good luck.

Hello from Scotland – There is an excessive amount of know-how, they aren’t interested to your lifestyles historical past and it’s Accountancy Degree now not accounting. Here in Scotland there’s a lengthy ready record to get into uni to research Accountancy levels and there’s a top quantity of Qualified Accountants unemployed on the grounds that of the economic crises within the UK. For each accountancy task marketed there’s over 500 folks making use of for it and the measure path could be CA or CIMA. You can do a CIMA Certificate on-line. I consider you must learn extra into what a CA(Chartered Accountant) honestly does? You must recollect finding out AIA – The Association of International Accountants earlier than making an attempt a BA in Chartered Accountancy. Good Luck.
