<p>I am a very, very visually-oriented person, and writing linear, understandable essays is a struggle for me. I know generally what I want to write about for my Common App essay, but I don’t know how to write it; I just get images that describe the topic. Sorry if that sounds weird. I’ve been trying to write for the last couple hours, but I keep running into the same problem. Are there any other visually-oriented people out here who have tips for constructing a personal statement? Thanks so much. :)</p>
