need help... Personal statement for college

[t-maxxracer32]

my biggest thing is what the heck do i write about it and what type of format?

first person? narrative? or what!

-i know that i need to use big words and sound intelligent, but at the same time not try to act smarter than i really am.
-i know i need to basically show them that i am a real person.. not just someoene who can get good grades


but how do i write it? how do i start it off?

hello my name is ryan dodd and i want to go to UOFA?

im confused.
