last minute personal statement

Hello, I would appreciate any advice on how to construct this personal statement,

I never thought I would go to university, and I never wanted to, I did however end up applying to degree apprenticeships and did get an offer,

although I was not made aware, I now have to self apply to the university and write a personal statement, I have 3 A levels this week and I am quite sick, but they're unable to give me an extension,

The course is in digital and technology solutions and while im very interested in the topic, it was something I only became interested in this year, I have no backstory, no exciting details or specific experience and im worried if my personal statement isn't up to par I won't be accepted and by default will lose my degree apprenticeship place,

Thankyou if anyone does give advice or tips :smile:

I wrote my personal statement for uni veryyyy last minute as well, and what helped me the most was looking at peoples past examples theres a website and it goes by subject and it really helped with the overall structure and what to talk about cause people will put the most random stuff in it and get offers so its worth checking out!
