Personal Essay: Personal Statement For My Family

Personal Statement Twenty years ago, I was delivered by my grandpa in the small Fillmore County Hospital. My parents agreed on the name Brittney Lynn Reinsch, naming me after my grandpa.

In the future, I wish to hold a position similar to Adam’s. If I exemplify the positive attitude that he does, the employees of the bank will find work enjoyable, just as I do now with Adam as my
