CommonAppEssay: too cliche?

<p>I know the travel topic is cliche, but this trip was so essential to my cultural passion and humanitarian drive.</p>

<p>Please give me some feedback on style/grammar/topic/flow/anything.</p>

<p>Thanks, all help is appreciated =).</p>

<p>i'll read :D
i wrote my essay on travelling too
pm it to me</p>

<p>There are no cliche topics.</p>

<p>There are only cliche treatments of topics.</p>

<p>Well said ADad. It's how you write about a common topic that will make it cliche.</p>

<p>I agree with ADad.
I'll read it! :)</p>

<p>Thanks guys!
I know, I am afraid that I have not treated it the right way. Which would leave the essay itself to be a cliche "I traveled some place and realized how fortunate I was"</p>

<p>ADad, kayheart care to read?</p>

<p>there is no cliche as long as you put your real feeling into it</p>
