Where do you think we should start, when writing a personal statement?

Every student is unique and some may prefer to begin with writing the introduction, alter this throughout, or do this at the end. It's important to remember that this personal statement will go thorugh many drafts. We will start by jotting down any ideas you may have, no matter how random you think they may be. And then move onto doing a mind map to lay out all our ideas, branches involving why dentistry, extra curricular activities, work experience, volunteering, qualities a dentist requires, qualities I have, subjects at school, manual dexterity, activities related to dentistry etc
