How to write about yourself with examples:


How to write about yourself with examples:


 

Firstly forget your writing about yourself let your creative juices flow, I found this difficult because I care a lot about how people view me which made me cautious of what to write and how to come across, and forget modesty.

Secondly what are your hobbies, for example one of my biggest hobbies is going to the gym, and you could try and add humour into your hobbies and include previous bad or good experiences, if I try to be funny it will be terrible so I won’t enforce that upon you.

Thirdly you can talk about your personality, pick three points on the positive and negative sides of your persona, for example I am friendly and happy and smiley but can be very load (and messy as I’m sure many teenagers are)

Next you can include what makes you individual and different from everyone else, because everyone’s different at the end of the day.

First or third person?

Example: third-

Esme is a helpful, friendly girl who expresses herself through music; she goes to the gym to get rid of pressure and anger and enjoys the fitness boost. She can be quiet and load dependant on the mood she is in however she is a genuine person and would do anything for anyone. Esme often enjoys horse riding but finds parting with her bed early in the morning extremely difficult.

Example: first-

Im a creative person who likes to make things, I learn visually and by doing things myself with pointers, when I started my job I found it very hard because a lot of the information and important training were based on the computer which didn’t suit my learning style, until I started being practical I felt I knew hardly anything. Im often very adventurous and like to visit new places and do new activities.

So looking at the given examples you can see that whether you write in third or first person it doesn’t make a huge difference, it all depends on what suits you better, its best you’re comfortable and then it’s easier to express yourself with purpose and meaning.

 

Lastly go and try it out! Only you will know if it feels right or not so have a go.
