Ah, that personal statement is supposed to show *who you are*—not just what happened to you. My hardship essay about our monsoon roof leaks failed because it was just a sad story I copied from examples. The real 'hardship' was me, hiding in the verandah corner, designing a logo for a client while the internet blinked on and off every two minutes. I wrote about the rain, but I should have written about the quiet, stubborn clicking of my mouse in between.
