Hey guys, I'm having some difficulty writing my personal statement.

I guess I am confused as to what exactly to write about. I know you're supposed to write about why you want to be a doctor, but how do you do that without saying, "I like science and helping people?"

Do I tell the story of my journey, since I was unsure in college and decided later that I wanted to pursue medicine? Do I talk about some of the cool experiences I've had in the medical field (that aren't necessarily directly related to being a physician)? Do I talk about my qualifications and research?

I guess I'm just confused at what a personal statement should look like and consist of.

Also, if anyone would let me read their PS, I would appreciate it.

Thanks! @: )
