Can I Use I Statements As Essay Writing

Can I Use I Statements As Essay Writing?I recently heard a question on a college admissions interview from a student who had never used i statements before. In her case, she had never used statements at all when she was in high school.Let's say that your parents took you to the store and bought you some candy. It turns out that you have a love of sweets. What would you write on a cookie sheet in your bedroom? You may be tempted to write 'my favorite candy'my favorite sweet'.What about chocolate chip cookies? Can you imagine your mother writing something like 'I know how much you love your chocolate chip cookies'?Well, that is not the best way to show affection for someone, and it is certainly not going to be very helpful if you are asking for an admission letter or an academic scholarship. In fact, if your future employer reads your essay, he or she is more likely to call you and ask what kind of teacher you were!For example, what would you write if you were discussing social intelli gence or reasoning or logical constructs? How about the facts that your parents left you the most important key to open the door for your chance at a good school, and that no matter what you did, it is never too late to take steps to change your future? Or that a study shows that much of the intelligence that you use comes from reading? You may want to include those facts.And what if your teacher sent you a statement from the child development center and asked you to take a test? Would you include that? Those are valid questions, and they are best left for your teacher to ask you.The more positive statement that you include will make your essay much more persuasive to admissions committees and teachers alike. The less positive statement will go unnoticed by your potential employers. Good luck with your life and essay writing!
