Here's my personal statement (for my application to Uni). I didn't post this in Disliked's thread because 1) it's about his statement and 2) it's dead.
I think it's almost finished but if any of you have any constructive criticism it would be most welcome

I am currently studying Media Studies, History and Philosophy and Ethics. I achieved A’s in AS level in both Philosophy and Ethics and Media Studies. This is due to my ability to meet deadlines and work in groups when it is necessary. I Enjoy Media Studies the most; I find it interesting and vital as it affects peoples’ everyday lives. I’ve had an interest in media which I also studied at GCSE level, where I achieved an A grade. I enjoy all aspects of media, from watching and analysing film to reading newspapers and looking at why they write them in different perspectives, and would like to continue by studying Media Studies at university, possibly going into a career in media.
My other two subjects have also been enjoyable. Philosophy and Ethics has taught me a range of skills such as not to always accept what we are told and to look at the world in a different way. History has taught me why the world is like it is today, as well as a module on the history of media. Both History and Philosophy and Ethics have information that will be useful to me when studying Media Studies at university.
My hobbies include reading, music and film. I read a lot of fiction novels, as well as watch the latest films. The techniques such as the editing and representations which are present in every film intrigue me and this influenced why I chose to study Media Studies at university. I have always enjoyed computing, both inside and outside studies. I studied GNVQ ICT, which helped me improve my ICT skills. I try to use computers whenever I can to aid my work. I often use the internet for research and word process whenever I can.
I’ve had a part-time job working for a local building company. This has helped me to work as a team, as well as giving me experience of what it is like to have a job in the ‘real world’. In addition, this helped me build up confidence of meeting new people and improve my communication skills.
To balance my academic studies, I enjoy playing a lot of sport. I regularly play football, as well as sometimes jog to keep myself fit. I am a member of my local snooker club and play on a weekly basis. As well as this, I am a keen course fisherman, which I try to do whenever I can. Furthermore, I play golf, although not at club level. I am looking forward to the opportunities the university sport clubs will offer. Although I am not taking a gap year, before university, I am planning to go travelling after I have completed my degree. I am trying to make the most of my youth and to not miss out on opportunities that I may later regret.
I believe that the time I spend at university will be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding times of my life. I realise the opportunities that a university degree will offer me, and intend to work consistently to achieve it. While academic work is obviously important, I realise that university is about meeting new people. I am definitely looking forward to and greatly anticipate this. I am a sociable person and am also looking forward to the independence that university offers.
