Thanks! So, in other words, I shouldn't say, "I just want to help people be healthy!" (it's for public health)

I assume it's better to let my passion for what I want to do come through, right? Even if that means sharing stuff like, "I struggled with postpartum depression." And want to help other people with it.

Basically, the overarching idea for the "personal" part of the statement is that I had all kinds of support systems in place for pregnancy/motherhood (I'm specifically applying to maternal/child health programs), supportive H, family close by, good insurance, access to great doctors, etc. Yet I still struggled in many ways (physically, mentally, emotionally). I particularly want to find ways to reach and help women (platitude alert!) who maybe don't have access to those things for various reasons. To connect them with services and support. But then I fear that sounds too "middle-class white privilege-y..."
