Hey guyssss!
In this video, I’m sharing a full, beginner-friendly guide to writing strong personal statements and statements of purpose — especially for scholarships and graduate admissions.
I break down:
- What scholarship committees like PTDF are actually looking for
- My personal storytelling approach
- The STARL technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result, Learning)
- A real-life walkthrough of my own PTDF personal statement
If you find it helpful, please share it with someone who's working on their application too.
