<div class="asd"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <h1><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> Autobiographic nature of writing<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </h1><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> When you are writing form this perspective, there are somethings you have to consider:<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Introduce yourself</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->There is so much to tell about you, and that can become a little bit problematic. You have so many experiences, skills to summarize in a paragraph or two and so much more. Whatever the purpose or the kinds of information you are writing on, think of it as a way of introducing yourself to the audience. You have to think about what they need to know. When you are writing this essay, think of the following aspects:<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li>Who you are</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li>Your background</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li>Your interests, talents, achievements</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li>The challenges you have encountered</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Provide a brief enumeration of your talents and interests</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->If you do not have any idea of how to start this essay, or you are limited to one aspect of the assignment, you can formulate a list. Brainstorm for good ideas that will assist you in deciding and then write as many answers as you can.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Narrow your topic</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Settle on one topic and describe it in-depth. Let it be your introduction. It is better to use one thing that is rich in details that provide a list of general items. Talk about your most fascinating and unique qualities. Use words that describe you best.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Incorporate a few good details</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->When you narrow down your topic, provide the audience with enough and unique details to keep them going. Remember that the essay is about yourself and as such, you have to include details that portray you positively. For instance, you can say, “When I was growing up, I would watch football with my dad every Sunday afternoon. We would them go outside and toss the ball around, and since then, I have come to love football.”</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Humility is key</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Even though you have accomplished so much or talented, you have to come across as humble. Avoid writing in a manner that depicts you as a braggart. You can list your accomplishments and successes, but you have to use a humble language.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></div>

This is different from a cover letter because the student is looking forward to getting a slot and joins the institution. A cover letter is a simple introduction of the prospective employee to the prospective employer. When you are writing a personal essay, you are a supposed to provide a story about yourself using specific real-life details highlighting a specific theme throughout the essay. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->See for the common themes for autobiographical essays include overcoming challenges, great success or epic failures and lessons learned from the experiences.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Focus on a single theme</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->When writing an autobiographical essay, it is not good to jump around between different themes or events. Stay focused on a single theme to make a greater point. You can connect a personal story pot a reading or an idea from your class, but this depends on the requirements of the assignment. You can start brainstorming about the topic that connects t such an idea to avail a set of options that you can choose from.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><Strong>Avoid cliches and write about complex topics</Strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->You do not need to look good in your essay, but that must come out depending on how well you communicate the event. When deciding on topics to write about, think about your achievements and successes and provide some thoughts to parts of your life on which you need to improve. The clichés that you have to avoid in such an essay includes sports mission trips, dead relatives. If they well, they can make good essays. However, it is hard for them to be unique base on how common their details are. I other words, these essays have been written before.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Try to stay within the timeline as much as possible</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->When you are writing personal essays, you have to stick to events that do not go beyond one day. For instance, if you want to talk about your break up, start with the break-up, not with the details of how you met. You need to get to the tension in the story immediately.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Use vivid details</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->If you want, write a fascinating essay about yourself, you have to employ vivid details, specific images, and senses. Once you have an idea, you can list your memories as well as specific things that you can recall about the event. It can be about the weather, the smell or what your mum said to you. Your opening paragraph is supposed to set the tone for the entire essay. Instead of telling the audience about your name, place of birth and other dull biographical details, find a way to present your theme in the essence of the story you are telling as well as the themes that you are going to deal with in the essay. </li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Start in the middle of the story</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->In an autobiographical essay, there is no worry about building suspense. If you want to show your audience about a time when you ruined Christmas lunch, you can write about the reaction of the people at that moment and how you moved on. That is the story of your essay.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Tie the details to the central theme</strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->If your essay is based on a disaster that happened during Christmas, you will be telling more about it. Identify the major point of the story and the lessons to be inferred from it. At least on every page, ensure you have something that ties the audience back to the focus of your essay.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> </ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></div>

If you are applying to a higher learning institution, you have to be professional and use an academic tone throughout your cover letter. Other opportunities will demand a more informal approach and style of writing. If you are not sure, you can keep it as brief as possible especially if you are telling an anecdote.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>Use the first paragraph to describe what you are writing. </strong><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->You should explain the purpose of your cover letter in the first two sentences. If you want your application to sail through, ensure that your first two sentences indicate the reasons for your application. You do not have to include your name in the body of your application letter. The name comes together with the signature, mostly at the bottom of that letter.</li><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <li><strong>You can structure your letter as a cause and effect essay</strong><br>Provide details of your talents and skills as well as your goals and ambitions.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Your application letter should elucidate on either why you are the best candidate for the job or if you are looking forward to joining a college or university.
