What are the things that I should talk about in a Personal Statement?? What are some of the key things that should be mentioned??

and i dont think it is a very good idea to ask other people what you should write. you want the personal statement to sound like yourself and not other people. i made the mistake of asking too many people to read my personal statement and i ended up making too many changes. i didnt like how it didnt sound like me, so i ended up changing a lot of stuff back? i dunno. thats my experience with personal statement.

My logic says that you should talk about stuff that is personal to you, that makes you unique. Now how is anyone supposed to help you do that over an internet forum?
