hi, i'm a french student and i'd like to be an assistant next year in the USA i have 2 essays to write for my application and i really don't know where to begin maybe some of you are more used to this kind of exercise and can help me to understand what the inspector wants.

Personal Statement: You should not copy your Objectives statement to this section. You should create a new essay. You may include your curriculum vitae or resume. This essay will allow you to:
• Tell a story
Tip: Consider: What’s special, unique, distinctive and impressive about your life story?
• Present your life experience
Tip: Consider: Why might you be a better and more successful FLTA than others?
• Help your future supervisor get to know you as a person
Tip: Consider: What personal characteristics do you possess?
A good essay for this task:
Is fresh, lively, and different
Distinguishes you and makes you memorable
Really shows your personality (be yourself)

Completing the Objectives essay provides the readers (your home country contact, FLTA Program staff and your future supervisor and other university/college officials) with a picture of you and your career interests. This essay will allow you to:
• Emphasize key qualifications, areas of expertise, skills and/or goals
Tip: Reflect on your overall qualifications and career goals: In what ways do they fit with the FLTA Program?
• Help the readers find out about your character/personality
Tip: Think about making a good first impression
• Appeal to college/university supervisor expectations
Tip: Consider: What qualifications are most desired by college and university professors in a language teacher/assistant? What other personal qualities do you possess that would make you attractive to them? Think about what role--or roles— you expect to have on campus?
