I was suppose to be aborted but my mom ended up avoiding the procedure. This made me value my life, because it was close to never existing. Since learning about my history, I have been determined to leave an impact on the world and be truly remembered to prove my life was worth living.
I’m not trying give an opinion on abortion, but just show that I am determined to succeed. Yea or nay?
I don’t think this is the best topic. Abortion may leave a bad taste in some people’s mouths. I also don’t think an essay about determination to succeed is the best idea either, because that just shows that you have ambition, a quality shared by many applicants (in other words, it wouldn’t really show anything unique about you). Now, if you could spin it into something more concrete (e.g. talking about how your experience in _________ made you want to do/make an impact in __________), it might work.
Write about what you want. If you can pull it off, and you can pull it off WELL, When I say well, I mean effectively communicate whatever beautiful thing about you that it is you want to communicate. then go for it. I had two essay topics that I’d consider to be far more controversial than abortion, and I ended up okay. PM me if you want. Cheers and good luck!
No no no no!
