Hey all! So yes, I am a procrastinator who is just beginning my college essays now. Right now, I am primarily concerned with my common app essay. I’m leaning towards question 5. I have ideas, and I really would appreciate any input!!
Question 5: event that marked transition from childhood to adulthood
I was thinking that I could talk about how I have experienced a lot of large-scale change in the past year of my life (not going to list here for personal reasons.) Experiencing so much change has made me reevaluate the way that I look at change. I used to fear it and avoid it, but now I embrace it and see it as an opportunity for growth.

I have been involved in a sport for my entire life. I now coach the sport. So it’s the classic “student becomes the teacher” concept. I would talk about how I teach the players about the sport, and they teach me lessons about life and teamwork.

When I was younger, I was constantly changing my mind about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I thought that I had to pick a specific career path to follow and just have my life all figured out. Now, as I become an adult, I realize that it is okay not to have it all figured out. It is okay to continue to explore a variety of my interests.
So what do you think?
