* Characters
: In the personal essay, your main character is yourself, so try to give your readers a sense of who you are through your voice, actions, level of awareness, and description. The characters in a good story are believable and interesting; they come alive for the readers.
* Voice
: Language reveals who you are; choose your words to reflect your theme as well as yourself.
* Actions
: Readers learn something about the kind of person you are through your actions.
* Dialogue: Show, don’t tell. Include vivid and meaningful dialogue between you and other or with yourself! (No, you’re not crazy.)
* Insight
: One of the best ways to reveal who you are is to show yourself becoming aware of something, gaining a new way of seeing the world, a new insight. While such awareness can occur for apparently unexplainable reasons, it most often happens when you encounter new ideas or have experiences that change you in some way.
* Telling Details:
Describe yourself and other participants in your story in such a way that the details and facts help tell your story. A telling detail or fact is one that advances your characterization of someone without your having to render an obvious opinion.
* Setting
: Experiences happen in some place at some time, and good essays describe these setting. To describe a believable physical setting, you need to re-create on paper the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations that allow readers to experience it for themselves. In addition to telling the details that support your plot and/or character development, try to include evocative details, colorful details of setting and characters. The telling details of a setting can reveal something essential about your essay without your explaining them. After all, you can let your reader to do a little work.
* Sequence of Events
: In every narrative, events are ordered in some way. While you cannot alter the events that happened in your experience, as a writer, you need to decide which events to portray and in what order to present them. Remember, sequencing of events need not be chronological.
Sorry Can't give you an example But I can tell you who to.

you do not ask a lot do you? Why no longer first write it, then in case you want help revising it convey it right here. i will't have self belief the gall of a few human beings! Why even get a grade if others do it for you? Have a touch delight in your self and earn the grade.
