For the Kent State Honors College they are asking for me to answer 2 writing prompts (250 word limit).
1. Describe your academic background and interests
2. How will the Honors College experience contribute to your academic and personal goals?
I have absolutely no idea where to start for either of them.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, examples? Anything really would be helpful
Writing a personal statement is an artistic work and one should be very precise in explaining one's aims, goals, motives, inspirations, aspirations, in short, one has to present the summary of oneself in an artistic exposition. Personal Statement writing requires a tinge of creativity that makes your statement looks a bit different from those of others. This is something, for instance, how would you like to be represented in front of others, for that, you bring out all the qualities that you have in and culminate those all in required pages or words that best describes you.
I think I finished the first prompt, I just need someone to look over it now.
I am considering a major in architecture with a double major in business administration because I have always enjoyed buildings, designing my own, and business. Throughout high school, I was a co-backstage manager for multiple plays and musicals and I would also help with set design. It was during these plays that I realized I love design and making blueprints.
Currently I am an intern at my church being trained in not only the business aspect of things, but also being a team leader and contributing in the planning of events and workshops.
One of my long-term goals is to earn my MArc. After getting my masters, I believe there are many opportunities to fulfill my dreams of design and helping others. Right now I am considering working for an architecture firm, but I am also interested in the possibility of starting a firm of my own.
It seems like you wrote down all your ideas, which means that there is still a lot of work left to do. Your word count is much too short and the essay itself is in need of a lot more details. Instead of just giving a rough outline of your background and interests, you should explain why they are important to you. Remember, colleges want to find out WHO you are and the only way for them to figure that out is if you do a little explaining.
You just need to add a little bit more to your essay about yourself a lot of detail though.
