Common Application Prompt 4 Help please !

One of the Common Application prompts is: “Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.”

As a Syrian living in Jordan due to the ongoing Syrian Civil War , I am thinking about writing about the harsh life the Syrian refugees endure refugee camps in Jordan due to cold,hunger,etc… (problem I would Like to Solve) and discuss the many ways that we can ease their pain.

This Topic is of special importance to me;however, is it too broad to write about ? Does it tick all the requirement boxes?

Thank you !

It sounds perfect - a situation close to you and an insight into your ideas. Best of luck!

Don’t forget the writing process is all about revision - if you don’t like your essay, go back and perfect it.
