"You don't always get what you want"

<p>Hey all, I have an interesting (at least to me) idea about my personal statement. I was thinking about writing a “You can’t always get what you want”-esque essay.
Background info:</p>

<h2>I’m the leader of a certain club at school that’s a part of a larger out-of-school nonprofit. Each year, they send 2 people from each school to participate in a very cool community-service (school building) in a developing country. As the leader of the club, and without a doubt, the most devoted to the club, I thought I was a “shoe-in”-- I wasn’t. Totally killed my summer plans, but that also led to other opportunities for me in the summer (very interesting internship). (Other important factors – please ask?)</h2>

<p>I want to really elaborate furthur and tell you all the story, but at the risk of my identity being figured-out (and I know it will :() I can’t really tell you the full story unnles you PM me or soemthign (if you care :D)

Do you think this would be a good idea for a PS or is it too clich</p>

<p>You can PM me. It doesn’t sound cliche to me, I think it would be a tad cliche if you talked about how you went and it and changed your perspective or something.
Where are you applying anyways? My counselor gave me some great advice, she said to read the schools mission statement and try to incorporate it into your essay.</p>

<p>Oh hey! I haven’t really written it out yet, I’m still (damn) in the rough stages of the essay. I"ll PM over what i have</p>
