Quick question
My personal statement opens up with a few sentences describing a war scene I witnessed the aftermath of, then talks about the fragility of life. It then begins the next paragraph describing a surgery shadowing experience and how life can also be recovered through medicine. Also, I'm not military just have family in war torn country that I visit every year and saw a lot when I was a kid.
My question: My pre-med advisor read it and said to leave drama out and take it out of the PS, but I feel that it belongs in my narrative of why I want to become a physician. Adcoms if you want I can PM you the paragraph. Anyways thanks for the help, should I change it?
