Choosing the right place to finish is often the most difficult. So I will now try to offer some guidelines.

• Each paragraph ending must hook onto the next paragraph and should leave the reader satisfied that their is a natural segment and purpose in each sentence. Keep it short and keep it simple. This method is suitable if you decide to have a general topic for each paragraph.
• If you use a natural progression structure or timelines then try to end each paragraph with one sentence to sum up your feelings and emotions. Also try to have a little suspense in each section - to leave the reader to carry onto the next section. So far your UCAS personal statement should bring the events in your life to the current moment. Please see below for an example ending:

"I have the skills and determination to succeed on this course. After six months working as an assistant editor I knew I wanted to train to be a journalist. This course will fulfill my dreams"

• This sentence clearly heralds the end and summaries the students personal statement. You may try a number of different endings to find the one to suit your particular UCAS personal statement.
