I have chosen the 1st prompt for my common app essay. I love two things, football and astrophysics. But they just dont go along. I have a lot more accomplishments in football than in my other interest. And i cant write about an essay that includes both(that would surely seem absurd). So, can our essay be about something which we love doing, but isn’t one in which we would like a career?(in this case , the thing which i like is football)
The essay about your passion is not supposed to be a rehash of your resume & your career plans. You can have a passion for eating great food, not know how to cook, yet write a totally engaging essay about good eats. You can write about ANYTHING. Just don’t bore the reader.
