<p>I have two things I could talk about for topic one:
1)Either how my mom went through a deep depression when my sister died and how it affected my life and what I went through (this depression is still going on I basically was alone for 3 years My mom is a single parent). Or National Hispanic Institute. (I'll explain what NHI is in my essay)
2)I did not get any position in an NHI program when I ran for almost everything.
3)Maybe how people expect African Americans to act and how I act and carry myself. (i'm basically an Oreo black on the outside and white on the inside)
4)I'll write about books
5)Talk about how my younger sister died and I was forced to grow up.
I really don't know which one to write about please help!</p>
<p>Depends on what you’re most comfortable writing about and what you most want to write about . If you can write about them in a non-cliche/stereotypical way, 1, 3, and 5 are all great candidates. Two might also work. I wouldn’t go with four, though, since you’re supposed to talk about yourself, not the books you’ve read.</p>
<h1>2 and #3 are big no-nos. 2 is just a downer, and 3 is playing the race card too aggressively. You haven’t put much of a description for #4, but the premise is weak.</h1>
<h1>1 and #5 have potential. Make sure to avoid blame and negativity. I’m getting that sort of vibe from your descriptions. Even with difficult topics, you want and NEED to demonstrate optimism and self-empowerment. These unfortunate events didn’t hold you down. They made you stronger. That is the message you should be delivering.</h1>

<p>I agree #2 seems like it wouldn’t be in your best interest. A friend of mine is doing #4 and I actually really like her essay, so it can be effective if done well, but the topic itself is somewhat generic. I think #1 and #5 could be very powerful, but don’t let it get too dark.</p>
