brainstorming ideas for this topic

Choose an issue of importance to you—the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope—and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.

write whatever comes to your mind that you would write about

It wouldn’t really be helpful to brainstorm on a public forum, because then people would just write about the same topics, lol. This just requires some deep thought and maybe research on current events.

In addition, it is asking what is important to YOU. It is hard to write about something that is unimportant to you. So choose something that you are genuinely interested in.
