在申请美国大学过程中，有一个必须的，也是很重要的步骤，那就是文书的书写。很多同学本身其实是有一些精彩的小故事，但是学生自己并不觉得那些小故事有什么写的必要或者觉得这些故事并不精彩。其实并不是这样的！文书的主旨不是看你的故事有多惊天动地，而是想让学生写清楚为什么这些小故事对他本人来说很有意义。所以，学生在写文书的时候，一定要写出属于他本人的故事。换句话说，就是要让阅读过无数文书的招生官们，能将故事与学生配对起来。所以，学生在写文书的时候，切记要写出自己的东西。

However, the essays are not about extraordinary stories but something that is meaningful to the student. One important tip to remember when writing your college application essay is to write about yourself!
