Student Personal Statement
As potential candidates for our next mission, each student will prepare a carefully written description, exactly five sentences long, describing a personal accomplishment. You may describe an assignment, a job you have learned, or a chore in school, at home, or on vacation. It may describe an achievement in a sport or in a hobby, or something you did alone or with a friend or with another member of your family. Write about something you know about -- no matter how simple the task was or the results. Your five-sentence statement will demonstrate that you can focus on and complete a project, whether simple or complicated, short or long term, something you did, or still do. Your paragraph should answer six questions:
• “who?”
• “what?”
• “where?”
• “when?”
• “how?”
• “why?”

These questions will describe how you stuck with and finished something that you started.

This written statement will demonstrate each student’s ability to communicate one idea clearly and without errors.

You may help each other as “editors.” But each student is solely responsible for his or her final work.
