Bubba's Personal Statement (A Bad Example!)

Bubba Jones

Personal Statement

Hi. My name is Bubba, and I am going to write an essay that tells you about my best qualities. I am noble. I am honest. I am funny. Now I am going to tell you about how noble I am.

This is the paragraph in which I’ll tell you how noble I am. I am very noble. Everyone says that I am noble. I am noble. Like a king, I have nobility. Noble is my middle name because I am so very noble. It’s amazing how noble I am. Now I am going to tell you about how honest I am.

This is the paragraph where I tell you about my honesty. I am very honest. I never tell lies, except sometimes when I might get in trouble if I tell the truth. My honesty is known throughout the land. People always say that I am very honest. Everyone trusts me because they know how honest I am. Just ask anybody! Now I’m going to tell you about how funny I am.

This is where I tell you how funny I am. I mean I am soooooo funny. My friends laugh whenever they see me coming because they know that I am funny. I make people laugh a lot. I think humor is very important. That’s why I am so funny. If you knew me, you’d know how funny I am, because I am funny. Really! Now it’s time for my conclusion paragraph.

This is the conclusion. I am noble. I am honest. Most of all, I am funny. Now I am done with my essay! Bye!
