Trying to find the right form of words...

I am back working on the personal statement for the GTTR application before I go down to Lancaster in a couple of works. This is one of the most important things I have ever written and, like a lot of my written work, is going through several drafts (my record is something like 12 edits of a 1250 word book review and I have NO idea how many 'cuts' of my MA dissertation I did!)..however it feels like it is getting somewhere. The trick is that you are only allowed 47 lines on the online form and there is a lot to put in as I get more and more experience each day....
