<p>Is it a disadvantage if I write my essay about “A True Human Being”… its kind of my philosophy to achieve a great human being in my world.</p>
<p>anyone??? nope?</p>
<p>If the essay is going to be a description of a great person and then talk about how you want to become that, then IMHO the topic is DOA. A personal statement is best if it tells a story with character development - and that main character is you. How has an incident or something you’ve done made you stronger, more confident, a better person, etc…?</p>
