Everyone has a "Personal Experience" in their life time that they will never forget.
What does Personal Experience mean?

 



 

Personal means belonging to you. 
Your own private events that have
taken place in your life.

 


Experience
means actually doing.
Something you have done yourself.
 

 

So,  a "personal experience" is writing about an event you
have actually
done yourself
or something that has happened to you.
 

 

When writing a personal experience you may write about a time you took a family vacation and the things that happened to you and your family.  Another time you may write about something that happened to you at school.  You have experienced so many things that you can write about any event that has happened to you!
