<p>So recently for AP English Lit class I wrote an essay for a prompt about a mistake I made. I think it's one of the better things I've written and was wondering if I could recycle it for this.</p>
<p>Basically the essay is about how I missed the last opportunity I had to see my grandmother when she was dying from ALS because I was scared of seeing her in that state and facing the fact that I was losing someone so close to me. I go on to explain how I now try to be less selfish and put others' needs before my own comfort. </p>
<p>Obviously the essay is a lot more eloquent than that summary, but I want to know if it works for NM purposes. I think it slightly covers all three topics (obstacle, experience, and a person who has influenced me), but not strongly in one category. What do you think? I'm so nervous because I already have a C on my transcript and don't want to further jeopardize my chances at NMF.</p>
