<p>I really need help with my essay, I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas to answer the prompts. I've only come up with five ideas and I'm not sure if they answer the prompts and if their good enough. </p>

<ul>
<li>A story of my phobia of birds and how I got "attacked" by a flock of seagulls</li>
<li>My school magazine and how I started it and kept it afloat through its trials</li>
<li>How the magazine lost the chance to make the New York Times article and how it strengthen the magazine</li>
<li>My love for storytelling and how i use filmmaking to do it</li>
<li>How I chose to take the high road and not be influenced by my negative surroundings.</li>
</ul>

<p>I could really use some help. Thank You!</p>

<p>The first topic is unique and I suppose this is about the prompt asking for a story central to your identity? It might be stretch, though. You’re going to have to focus on how it had a profound effect on you, not just that it happened.
Second topic…eh.
Third topic…okay, this seems more interesting than the second, and I guess it’s about the prompt asking about failure.
Fourth topic might be clich</p>
