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 know people say to base your application off your narrative but i'm just really confused about it.

The best way to find the right narrative is to read examples of other personal statements that have worked well. Once you have read enough of these, you will be inspired and the right narrative will come to you. This CollegeVine blog post has some great essays to take a look at. Hope this helps!
