Help! Struggling with application for Access Bursary

I'm writing the personal statement (300 to 500 words max) for the Access Bursary application but can't think of anything else to say and I haven't reached the word limit? Is it supposed to be really long and detailed like the UCAS personal statement? I've said everything very directly since I don't want to make it seem like a massive sob story about my life

Yeah I just explained how my academic stuff has been affected by other circumstances and that's pretty much it. Have no idea if it;s good, only spent about an hour on it
