Personal narrative

How do I find my personal narrative to base my college application off of. I do like sports and I am considering a few careers but haven’t decided between computer science, business, marketing, real estate and nutrition. I just don’t know where to start.

I don't think your personal statements has to be relative to your college major. The point of the personal statement is to demonstrate your character and let the college administrators know that you are more than some numbers and activities on a paper. So the main point of your essay is to be honest about yourself. What I mean by that is to really show who you really are, not who you think the college people wants to see.

However, if you do want to write it based off of your major, I think a good place to start brainstorming is what/who inspired you to get interest in this field, what have you done in this field or what do you want in this field in the future.
