[zerotonin]

Currently helping a friend with some admissions essays and personal statements. One paragraph suddenly segues into how our governemnt is very good and the foreign media paints Singaporeans as automata. I *understand* the thrust of the statement, but it's not good to become suddenly defensive in a personal statement. Not when the staement is meant to sell one as a positive person on whom you will throw ludicrous amounts of money and expertise at.

Great statement overall though.
