· Use long, complex sentences whenever possible.

· Provide specific names of people in your field that you have worked with,
been judged by, have seen you perform and you see as a role model.

· When discussing why you should be chosen, be positive about your attributes.

List your strengths - I write good poetry, I make decisions well, I can
design projects and carry them out without much help, I plan to use my
area in the future to ________, etc.

· If your have not decided exactly what your career will be, select three
possibilities and EXPLAIN how your GHP experience in your area could help
you in these careers.
