How to Write A Personal Essay

Writing a personal essay should be easy. Why? Because it is all about yourself. Basically, a personal essay is a reflection of your thoughts and actions after a certain action.
Let’s say your professor assigned the class to write about what you did last Valentine’s Day.How are you going to compose your essay?

Here are some tips that can help you.

Focus on your subject. In this case, you will write about how you spend Valentine’s Day. Jot down all the things you have done on this day. Do not include unrelated activities during the same day. You can think of the following questions and answer them:

• Have you prepared for that day?
• Is there any something special that happened on that day?
• Were you happy, sad, or mad? How did you feel?

Grab the attention of the readers. Your introduction is very important. It has to be interesting so that it will be able to catch the attention of the readers. If it’s not, the readers won’t mind reading the rest of your essay.

Example: Last Valentine’s Day, I am completely broke but not brokenhearted.

Write with substance. Your body is the meat of your essay. It has to be substantial, sensible, and worthy to read. It must satisfy your goals. In this case, you have to do narrate and describe the things you have done during Valentine’s Day. When you write your experiences, you must be careful with the use of your words, language, composition, and other technical aspects of writing.

End with a bang. When you close your essay, make sure that the readers will remember what you have written. Summarize the most important points you have made and end with your final stand/feeling/opinion. Actually, the most effective conclusion is one which is connected to the introduction of the essay. 

Enjoy while writing your personal essay. Give it your best shot!
