tell her 2 make lists!!! i was so stressed out last wk. had to finish my personal statement, start revision for january modules,  do normal work for my courses and still be awake and alert for work at the weekends.\n\nJust make alot of lists - what you want to accomplish, when, break down large topics. With the personal statement BRAINSTORM!!! The first sentence is usually the hardest to think of. Try a quote maybe. But dont start with 'I' or 'My' eg, 'I would like to study.....' as it just sounds blah!!\nWish her gd luck frm me!!

discuss with your syster that you can not continue like that because if you will continue like that you loose your school, and no body will care about you.\nIf she didn't find a solution try to find another place to study.

If your daughter is delayed with her eye-hand coordination, did not qualify for special education services, but her handwriting and coordination interfere with her ability to perform well in class, then she DOES qualify for a Section 504. This is under the Americans with Disabilities Act, in which accomodations must be made to allow a child (or adult worker) accessibility to the work area, materials, etc. so that he/she can effectively do his/her work (for the child, the work is learning).\n\nSchools tend to want to avoid 504 plans, as they cost money without bringing in any extra funding. However, if they don't provide her with one, they are out of compliance and can lose what funding they already have. Get your private Visual or Occupational Therapist's diagnostic information and reports on impact for your daughter's performance in school, march on down to the principal, and say the magic words, "I have documentation for my child's ADA SECTION 504 needs. So, when can the committee meet during this upcomming month?" Under 504, assignments can be modified, specialized pencil grips or keyboarding can be provided, etc. \n\nI would also recommend contact your state's or local parent advocacy group. This is made up of parents with kids with special needs who have "been there and done that" already. They can help you with your particular state's processes, making sure meetings happen and in a timely manner, etc.\n\nhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/sec504.index.htm\nhttp://www.children-special-needs.org/vision_therapy/optometric_vision_therapy.html\nhttp://www.visiontherapystories.org/eye_tracking_disorders.html

Well I don't know whether its the same for you, since I'm guessing you are American, and I'm English... but when I had to write a personal statement last year for University It included 4 areas: \n\nWhy I wanted to study the subject (which bits most interested me, what i most enjoyed)\n\nMy past experience and therefore why it was a suitable course (relevant school trips, work experience)\n\nFuture career plans (is this a wide course so that you can specialise later, or specific because you have made your mind up firmly?)\n\nNon-academic details, ie. community activities, school contributions, hobbies, achievements and special responsibilities (carer, prefect, head of house etc.)\n\nIts really about showing that you are dedicated, really passionate about the subject (in my case Biology, I looooove it), and that you are hard working, but will be willing to take part in the wider community of the institution. \nHope I helped, and good luck! Mine worked a treat, no rejections woo!

An easy? Do you mean an essay?\n\nSocial studies.... maybe you can do something about the development of other countries or how lifestyles are different between us and third world countries.\n\nGood luck!

You are really doing a disservice to your daughter by doing this search for her. She needs to do this herself so she will learn the material.

you might want to look into cultural anthropology, dont get thrown off by the physical side (study of bones and evolution). If you hang in there you'll find you will be using all three of your favorite subjects. best of luck to you

Read about philosophy, psychology, and other interesting topics.  Then you can talk to her about them and sound interesting to her.

What is it specifically that you are looking to help her with?  I am a grade 6 Language Arts teacher, you can contact me here if I can be of some help to you.

explain that you enjoy helping people, want to contribute to society, bullet point the reasons before you type them in.\nAlso write about you're good points. Universities love gloating

Is this the end of her senior year?\n\nCause if it is, too late.\n\nIf it isn't, it is an easy fix. When the NEW school year begins, she will have to go to her school counselor, sit him/her down and have an adult conversation over what she NEEDS and what THEY need to fix.\n\nSchools sometimes do that, and it IS fixable. Unless this is her graduating year. She should have said something MUCH sooner.

There is one more thing you can do. Given the fact that she is busy and not responsive you may offer to draft a letter for her and give it to her as a starting point. This may be what she needs given her schedule and it certainly will speed things up.

I have a Master's of Social Work from a very good university.  What they are looking for is your personal experience with hardship -- either with yourself or others.  \n\nSocial Work is about helping other people.  It is a job that is difficult but can be very rewarding -- unfortunately, it is not high paid.  \n\nYour "personal" statement should be just that -- personal.  Draw from any adverse experiences you have had or known about.  Maybe you know someone who has a mental illness and you helped them, or just experienced the repercussions of their illness -- if you are a friend, for instance, to someone suffering from schizophrenia, and you have seen the dire effects first-hand.\n\nOr if you come from a broken home, or a good friend does -- what does that mean to you?  How would you work with people who need to have their lives put back together?  Surely you must know some people who have problems -- that is probably why you got into psychology in the first place.\n\nThe programs are generally not looking for people with social work experience, but rather with life experience -- in hardships -- either your own or someone you know.  How does that impact you, what have you learned from it, how could that help you to help others in the future?  That is what they are looking for -- a thoughtful essay about troubles you have seen and how you have the capacity for empathy and caring to help others.\n\nSocial work is really about helping broken lives.  You try to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.  Surely, you have had some instances in your life where you faced problems, and had to find a way to live through them.  They want to know how you handle problems, can you handle the stress of dealing with other people's problems, and can you be there and be supportive to those in need.\n\nYour personal statement should be that:  personal.  It is not about work-related topics, it is not about "experience," because experience comes in many forms -- not just a job or school.  You've probably heard the expression, "he learned through the school of hard knocks."  That sums it up.  They want to know what your personal experience with hardship has been -- and how did you help yourself or someone through that hardship?\n\nThink about it.  You may need to apply to several universities, because it is competitive, however, if you are determined, you can do it!\n\nGood luck!

I would really encourage her to finish her education first.  Modelling is incredibly competitive and if she does not make the big time she will need to have something to fall back on sooner rather than later. There's plenty of time still at her age.\n\nIncidentally, my daughter wanted to do this and following footslogging around all the reputable London agencies she was told on several occasions that she was 'too pretty', apparently they only wanted 'quirky' faces!! So its possible your daughter may also be put off by this attitude.

Your sister might have to take a few courses to refresh her classes, but once she does that, I know Zoos and animal shelters and animal hospitals accept people with Zoology degrees.  Tell your sister to talk to the place she wants to work or a company resembling where she would like to work and ask their requirements for someone who has been out of school for that length of time. \n\nI hope this helps your sister.

most graduate programs want you to write thesis papers, research papers, case studies, etc. THEY all involve writing. Stay away from the medical programs, sociology, psychology, etc.
