<p>One of the essay prompts on the common app website was 'topic of your choice'. Is it okay to write about an object that matters a lot to me?
The object kinda relates to me.. I also wanna show the adcoms that I am a very capable writer...
suggestions please?</p>
<p>You can write about anything you want. The prompts are optional.</p>
<p>Exactly. As long as your essay is ultimately about YOU, you can write it about anything!</p>
