Is it advisable to make a light hearted joke at the beginning of a personal statement? Something that draws the reader in and plays a part in the picture I'm trying to paint. I'm just not sure if it's advisable or not, but if anyone can chime in their two cents it would be appreciated.
This is the sentence for context: I vividly remember May 24th, 2014, partially because it was my mother’s birthday and I knew she wouldn’t let me live it down if I forgot it two years in a row, but mainly because it was the last day to submit courses....
