Hello, I am applying for yonsei uic in the major comparative literature and I am seeking help from this forum because I genuinely do not know what to write at all. I am thinking of choosing the prompt of "One of UIC's greatest strengths is its immense diversity. Describe how your own personal background would add to UIC's
diversity and why your personal traits would stand out even in such a highly multi-lingual and multi-cultural institution." since I come from a family that moves around quite a bit, but the thing is I have no idea how to put anything into words and no idea how to milk it into 600 words. Are there any formats I could follow or questions that could get me started in writing this? :(

Summary: need advice to write a personal statement but have no idea how to write it

The fact that you were raised in a traveling family indicates that you have first hand experience when it comes to diversity and an understanding of how this helps to shape the personality of a person. It is this immersion and experience that would help you respond to how your personal background will help you add character and diversity to UIC. You could discuss how you learned to accept diversity as a part of life, how it helped widen your point of view about society and how differences among people could also mean that they are the same people, just in different personas. It would be interesting for the reviewer to learn about how your upbringing was influenced by the diversity you were exposed to. Which aspects of your upbringing do you believe make you stand out as a person because of the diversity aspect. Pick up to 3 character traits, or however many the maximum word count will allow you to discuss, and then discuss how it can help add to the interesting and diverse student community of UIC.
