Personal statement was about my struggles with childhood schizoaffective disorder (incredibly rare) and how I dealt with the struggles pre and post medication. It was incredibly poetic and made this girl in my class cry when she read it. My APES teacher told me I should submit the first two paragraphs to a competition.
