In your personal statement, you should discuss why you chose your topic, how it developed out of previous interests or experiences, and how it represents a new challenge. You may also want to describe your background, your college years, your professional goals and aspirations, and your reasons for seeking a Watson Fellowship. It should be clear from your personal statement why, of all the topics you could have chosen, you chose this one.
