<p>For the Common App essay, I wrote about how I've always been very passionate, creative, and motivated. I used examples from my childhood - reading voraciously at an early age, writing wild stories, playing dress-up all the time - and showed how these activities helped me develop into the person I am today. I also connected those personality traits to the type of school that I would thrive at. </p>
<p>Basically, the bottom line is that I've been who I am since I was a little girl and I want to keep growing in that direction. Is that an okay topic, or will adcoms view me as someone who is stagnant and not progressing? </p>
<p>All feedback/critique is welcome! I would be happy to read/edit/critique your essay if you read mine, too.</p>
