首先你要知道Personal Statement的定義是什么
寫Personal Statement列提綱的時候要記住，寫Personal Statement的目的是讓大學給自己一個Interview或者是入學的機會，所以你要站在學校的角度來想，老師為什么看了你的Personal Statement會收你？他希望了解你什么？

I am interested in studying a course such as Computer Science because I find the subject area very exciting. When I was younger, I was absolutely fascinated by Computers & games and later I came to learn more about hardware and how computers work, this conformed my belief that this is the kind of course for me
I enjoy studying psychology and how computers are used in psychometric testing and by the police, design technology because of use of computing in designing, and biology learning how things work together in harmony
I hope to choose a career in computing and communication because of its opening, modernity and lots of challenges. I feel that the higher education I get the more it will enable me to approach to the most recent technologies and to practice myself in a competitive environment
In design technology I make use of Pro-desktop Computer Aided Design (CAD) for designing my projects with precision, also most of my research is done using the internet so I have developed an efficient use of it
Out of school hours, in my spare time, I enjoy going out with my friends, walking around adventuring my city's limits and a wide range of activities
I spend lots of time reading computer and scientific magazines. I am also efficient at surfing on the internet which greatly benefits my study. I sometimes like to spend my time alone reading online reviews or listening to music
I am ready to share my experience and learn from others. Now, not only have I got experience in using a computer, but I have learned a substantial amount of HTML through out of school web page designing
I would like to do a course in this field so I can develop my talent to its limits. I also enjoy researching new developments in the IT and communication technology industry
In the summer of 2003 I started working at Brook meadow Hotel which is a fairly small business. This has given me the experience in dealing with money, ensuring hygiene standards, and dealing with difficult customers. This also developed my communication skills, sense of responsibility, and my determination to carry on with higher education! During my time at Brook Meadow hotel I often used the computer to create reservations and bookings. My previous experiences have shown me that a computer science or communication study is the ideal course for me. I like to think of myself as hard working, responsible, ambitious, enthusiastic, but most of all friendly
I hope to be a credit to the institution, if I am given the opportunity. I am ready to share my experience and learn from others.

Computer technology has always been something that I have been intrigued by, from my very first Atari to the small home network that I now manage. Over the years my interest in the world of computer technology has grown to the Internet and I have decided that I would eventually like a career in this field and a university degree would help me greatly. The Internet has fascinated me for sometime now, from web page design to computer security. The idea that any information is easily and rapidly accessible from any connected computer terminal in the world is fascinating. The computer world is expanding rapidly and I feel that nowadays, more than ever before, it is important to keep up with the new technological advances, as these are the future. I am extremely fortunate to be studying Information Technology in a specialised Technology College, which has national recognition, as it is also a Beacon School and the only Learning Network Community with radio WAN equipment in the region. Thus I have access to the most up to date equipment
Problem solving and being able to use figures can be a big part of computer technology and this is one of the reasons why I took Physics as an A Level and Maths to AS Level - to improve the quality of my problem solving skills
In 2000 I went on work experience to two business venues in Liverpool, namely Merseycabs' offices and Bleinheim Guest house. I used the computer systems for tasks such as booking customers' rooms at the hotel and editing Taxi drivers' records at Merseycabs. Although the work that I did on the computers was very basic and did not specifically concern the Internet I feel that it has helped me to recognise how the business world uses computers for everyday tasks
I have also gained experience with computers through the Young Enterprise programme, during which I was IT Director of the company and had many responsibilities, such as taking care of the company website and processing online orders, which has helped me to realise the responsibility of meeting deadlines, as when deadlines were not met the whole company was let down and not just the individual. During this marketing experience we visited primary schools, where I presented a PowerPoint presentation on the importance of healthy eating to promote our product. The product produced was a recipe book with contributions from famous local and international stars like Michael Owen and Dame Mary Peters. Our company enjoyed much success winning a trip to the European Trade Fair in Brussels, being featured on many occasions in the media and winning trough to the North West Final. At this final, although we did not win outright, we did win an award for best customer service. This experience has improved my confidence greatly, as well as giving me an insight into the world of marketing and promotion. Being in three school plays has also added to my confidence, I find that now I am more prepared for public speaking
In the summer of last year I attended a volunteer course for the Commonwealth Games, which consisted of first aid training and dealing with emergencies, I learnt how every detail of an event such as the Commonwealth Games must be planned out and implemented with extreme care to avoid problems. In my spare time I enjoy going to ice skating lessons, going to the cinema with friends and, of course surfing the 'net. I also like to design Macromedia Flash presentations and websites. Both the academic and social side of university life appeal to me and it is one of my ambitions to experience the student life first hand
As I look forward to my dreams, I see myself as a confident, successful businesswoman with a university degree and a computer related career. Can you help me make my dream a reality?
