<p>I've written an essay that I'm really happy with for prompt 1 on the common app (background story central to identity). It has to do with the slut shaming I witnessed in middle school and how a particular experience transcends into my identity as a feminist today. I am confident in the personal significance of the story I chose, but wondering if it's inadvisable to pull a story from when I was thirteen or so as opposed to my life as an older teenager.</p>
<p>Excellent essay choice, imho. </p>
<p>Hey, that sounds like an essay that has to be carefully-navigated because its controversial. If you want me to look over it, make sure it’s impactful, yet not over the line, I’ll happily give it a look and offer some critique</p>
<p>I find it an excellent topic, what happened to you at thirteen was essential to your development and has affected you and made you who you are today. I say do it. It reminds me of my situation where I identify myself as a feminist, but for different reasons of course. </p>
