Narrative Writing

Effective personal writing in the form of a narrative can be a powerful way to express ideas and opinions. In addition, a strong personal statement, in the form of an essay or letter of introduction, will engage a reader and allow him or her to get to know you in a way that a résumé or cover letter cannot.  As you continue through your life, you can use the skills learned about narratives to enhance your writing in other mediums by making it more detailed and engaging.
