Am I going in the right direction?

College Essays

<p>So far, for my essay, I was thinking of writing about one academic/extracurricular event in my life and how it changed me (by making me more confident in myself and in reaffirming what I want to pursue as a career). Then I have like one sentence explaining that this experience led me to pick a couple of the extracurricular activities I'm most passionate about... </p>

<p>Would this be OK because I know that you shouldn't write a "laundry list" of EC's (even though it's a sentence) and that you should just talk about yourself... Then again, they ask for an experience... Also, I never like to put "I" in an essay, but I find it hard not to in this one... Would it be OK?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>an “I” is FINE on college essays! Really, it is, because what are we supposed to do in college essay? talk about ourselves. Ergo, the use of I is basically mandatory! </p>

<p>and if it’s just a couple activities, I think it will be okay as long as it doesn’t turn into that laundry list.</p>
