Personal Statement consulting recommended for someone who has a "boring life"?

LSAT4234

How does someone write a quality personal statement without a compelling experience to write about? I am considering hiring help to come up with ideas for the personal statement and to write it because I have no idea what to write about!

Definitely check out that webinar even if you aren't signed up to get help. It helps just to hear other people with the same concerns get helped by the amazing @david.busis

I'd also seriously consider getting some professional help. I certainly will be. Admissions are so much of a mystery to us 0Ls, I will feel so much better knowing I am being helped by a professional. Also the prices for personal statement help 7sage offers is literally thousands less than other companies.

No matter how boring you perceive your life to be there have been times that have been meaningful and significant to you. Some people will often tell me "how boring" they are or how they grew up "super average white" (what does that even mean?). I refuse to believe that anyone has reached the post-graduate life without moments of pain, suffering, moments of sudden realization, and events that taught you a lesson.

They might feel diminutive compared to some bourgie shmuck with TFA, Ivy League Education, summers in Ecuador, and a high-powered career but I guarantee that if you can write with some degree of verve and personality, your light will shine through. Obviously this will take some degree of chin-stroking and potentially a lot of time.

It's you, man. You have done things that are momentous if only to yourself. Write about them.

Thanks, @"Alex Divine" and @montaha.rizeq. @LSAT4234, the Admissions Starter course has loads of advice about choosing a personal statement topic. In fact, there's an entire class (multiple lesson) called "Choosing a Personal Statement Topic": https://7sage.com/enroll-admissions/.
