(2) the material sources from which you derive help on how to write a personal statement
and help in the actual writing.
Persons
Who Can Confirm or Validate Personal Statement Points – Your
concern is how to write a personal statement that
will help you get that admission to the course you are applying in.
Your personal statement should comprise points that demonstrate to
the admission committee that you are a qualified course applicant
who can stand out and be one of those who will be awarded admission.
One very good way to improve your personal statement and excel among
the others is by supporting your personal statement points with
academic references. These academic references are the persons who
can confirm or validate the achievements, qualities and other points
you include in your personal statement.
Material
Sources from Which You Get Help in Personal Statement Writing –
There are different ways of how to write a personal statement using academic reference materials. Two of the best ways are (1)
using personal statement examples, samples or models as guides and
(2) using personal statement tips, advice, guides and how-to's. You
can refer to academic references like personal statement writing
handbooks, guidebooks, journals, education or academic blogs,
university or school websites and the government's education agency
websites.
Using
Academic References to Support Your Personal Statement Points –
You can use academic reference persons in writing an outstanding
personal statement. Use these persons as support to the points you
mention in your personal statement. Mention them in a way that they
it fits naturally to the flow and tone of your personal statement
writing. For example you can mention how a church minister helped
you in writing theology essays.
Using
Personal Statement Samples, Examples and Models as Guide – In
writing your personal statement, you can use other personal
statements as samples, examples and models as guide. There are
sample and model personal statements which are really written to be
used as such and there are also authentic personal statements which
are used as samples, examples or models. You should use them only as
guide in writing your own and should never submit them as your own.
Simply altering a personal statement you have chosen and submitting
it does not do the job; it is still copying and plagiarism.
Using

references can also come as personal statement tips, advice, guides
and how-to's. They can be found in books, journals, blogs, school
websites and government agency websites. When you use them, you may
