You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your relationship status, for instance.

"I am an avid marathon runner and have traveled to 10 countries in the last three years to compete in various races. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit.

I will have a consistent drive to deliver my best work while showing an innate need to remain top-of-the-game as a provider."

"Something that is not on my CV is my passion for volunteering. My parents introduced me to volunteering when I was eight years old, and I continue to this day. At least once a week, I volunteer at a homeless shelter cooking meals or an animal shelter grooming and walking dogs. I know it may be challenging to continue volunteering while attending dental school, but once I am completed, I will volunteer my services as a dentist."
