<p>is the topic of the sudden and unexpected death of my long time friend caused by suicide a good essay topic?</p>
<p>if not the only other thing i could possibly write about is my volunteer experience working with mentally/physically challenged children</p>
<p>this is for common app by the way</p>
<p>I am very sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>It’s not the topic. It’s what you do with the topic.</p>
<p>The best topic is whichever one allows you to write the most personal, detailed/specific, and revealing essay. The essay that is so you that only you could write it.</p>
