Applying to university soon? Writing a personal statement is a necessary but also daunting part of the process. Describing your hobbies, skills, qualities, reasons for wanting to apply to the course, academic achievements and much more in 4000 characters (47 lines) is very hard!

I distinctly remember how daunting the task of summarising 17 years of hobbies, interests and skills into one piece of A4 was.
