A personal essay isn\u2019t your life story. It\u2019s a pivotal event. The narrator has an epiphany, or is changed at the end of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPersonal essays represent what you<\/em> think, what you<\/em> feel . . . your<\/em> effort to communicate those thoughts and feelings to others . . . What is the point of your essay? Don\u2019t belabor the point too much; let the point grow out of the experience of the essay. It might be true, in fact, that you didn\u2019t even have a point to make when you started writing your essay. Go ahead and write it and see if a point develops.\u201d \u2014 The Personal Essay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
