Imagine you are applying to a school or a job that requires a personal statement. Use these questions to organize your ideas.
1. What has your greatest accomplishment been? Has it changed you in anyway? How?
2. What are some interesting or unusual facts about yourself that make you a good choice for the job or school?
3. What is something you hope to have achieved in the future? When, why, and how will you reach this goal? Will achieving it change you? Why or why not?

ONE OF MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAS BEEN HAVE ME GRADUATED IN HIGH SCHOOL, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME, BECAUSE I REALIZE ME THAT I COULD START IN THE UNIVERSITY ,BUT THE SAME TIME I WAS AT AGE, WHICH I SHOULD CHOOSE THE BEST CAREER FOR ME. THE SUPPORT OF MY PARENTS HAS PERMITTED ME TO ACHIEVE MANY THINGS, LIKE TO TAKE MY ENGLISH CLASSES, TO GET MY GRADUATION, AND CAN STUDY AN EXCELLENT CAREER IN THE UNIVERSITY.
IN THE FUTURE, I HOPE I´LL HAVE FINISHED MY STUDIES; ALSO I HOPE I´LL HAVE TRAVELED TO OTHER COUNTRY AND THAT I´LL HAVE HAD MY OWN COMPANY OF BUILDING AND MY OWN CAR. IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS I´D LIKE CAN FOLLOW WHIT MY POSGRADUATING IN CHILE, CANADA OR BOSTON.
BY THE TIME I´M 40, I´D LIKE CAN SPEAK THREE FOREIGN LANGUAGES, TO REACH THIS GOAL I HAVE TO BE A PERSEVERANT PERSON AND I HAVE TO ORGANIZE MY SCHEDULE, I HOPE I´LL HAVE BEEN MARRIED AND I HOPE THAT I´LL HAVE GOTTEN MY OWN HOME. FINALLY I HOPE I´LL HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED LIKE ONE OF THE BEST ENGINEERS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

Writing a personal statement for an application by
Angela Acosta
I think one of my greater accomplishments has been working to the tourism´s industry because I saw more of the world… for example; I met many people around the world and knew many cities, cultures of my beautiful Colombia and of the world. I have been able to achieve many things in job and with the commerce.
I was able to work in travel agencies in the department of public relations with executives of great companies. It was a wonderful experience for me because after that I became more mature and organize. On the other hand, in the next five years, I´d like have learnt English perfectly. By the time I am 45 or 50 I´d like have gotten a network of pizzeria restaurants around of Colombia, and I hope I´ ll have visited French and Canada, I hope I´ ll have gotten my goals with my perseverance and patience.
One of my greatest accomplishment has been getting my diploma in the high school, and of course have gone to the University at age 17, many things have helped me to achieve my goals, especially the opportunity that God has given me of attending a school to be part of an educational process which many people do not enjoy or life circumstances do not have access; secondly the unconditional support of my parents, who have encouraged me more to go ahead despite the difficulties that arise, and finally the company of my colleagues and friends who have helped me develop into an excellent atmosphere.
Through this I managed to be a rational person, able to analyze that is good and that is bad for my life.
There are some things I would like to have achieved by the time I am from 25 to 30, I hope I will have achieved an excellent job in which I have the best perform, I hope I will have had my own apartment and my own car; in addition by the time I am 50 or 60 I hope I will have traveled to many countries, have known new cultures and have enjoyed them.
¿Why? The reasons why I would like have done this, is because I really like to be an independent person who can defend in a world like today alone at work or just in everyday life. Otherwise, I would like to travel and meet new cultures in the future because the world is not just a piece of land in which one lives, there are different people and places that have things to teach the rest of the world and I would be a person who know it.
Finally, I believe that to achieve this in a future need much effort and dedication, we must work hard to enjoy and reap the fruits planted in the past. I am sure it would change my life so I would feel proud of have achieved what I set out to in the past.

Maybe, for me, the greatest accomplishment has been studying English. I have not finished yet but I think that take this course was very important to the rest of my life. I feel proud of myself because I’ve been able to study all this time and on time, also, I started about 2 years ago and I think that I learned more than I thought I could be able.
On the other hand, that goal will be a big help to my future, and maybe , will be necessary in my job and for more thing like traveling around the world and understand everything.
