Does anyone know which common app essay they're going to write?

<p>I don't really have an idea for any of them haha</p>

<p>here are the topics, for reference:
-Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
-Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?
-Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
-Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
-Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.</p>

<p>what you write explains who you are. It is like having a job interview with the college admissions and you are explaining yourself to them. What kind of person are you and how have you evolved because of your past or something you did? Topics are pretty broad, you just have to create “someone” (you) for them to see and what you have to give/ what makes you different from all the other applicants that also applied and why they should accept you or give you a spot at their college? </p>

<p>someone can correct me or give their two cents but for the topics:

  1. do you have a story to tell of who you are? maybe youve gone through hardships and it has changed you?
  2. was there something that happened to you that you felt like a disappointment/failure? How did you react to it? how has it changed you and what did you learn from it?
  3. Maybe you had a belief or idea that occurred to you that you tested yourself because you wanted to know more? why did you do that though? if you were given the chance again would you do it again?
    4.this one is pretty self explanatory.
  4. what have you accomplished in your life that has changed you when you were a kid to now? something culturally, in your community, or family? </p>

<p>You need to discuss what you are talking about and explain yourself. You are “painting” a portrait of yourself for others to see basically. So present yourself through your past experiences. </p>

<p>Yea you may not have an idea for any of them, but everyone has a story to tell and thats what makes each of us individually different. </p>

<p>When I did mines I chose the last one but the prompt was something upon those lines.</p>

<p>Hope this helps, goodluck.</p>
