How's this for a first paragraph in a personal statement:
I have always had an interest in the human anatomy and the way in which the body works. I find it especially interesting how the body can react to such things as illness, foreign bodies in the system and other simpler things like a cut. DNA is another thing I would like to study at greater depth - I think it is remarkable the way in which it ‘unzips’ itself in order to replicate. Studying biology this year has started to give me an insight into the anatomy and I think the best way forward would be studying a biology based degree at university.
