Undergraduate / (how I helped my grandma become a US citizen) a good idea for my UC prompt #2? [4]
Yes this is a very good idea but you need to talk more about yourself. The point of a personal statement is to tell the college about yourself what they already don't know from your grades. This is a perfect topic but you have to incorporate how you helped your grandma into how that has made you who you are and how it has changed you or helped you or taught you. For example you can say how helping raise money for her to take the test was a test of your determination and will and you passed that test because you raised a lot of money for her. Things like that if you can do that in a creative way, your essay will stand out.
