<p>I chose Essay A, which reads:</p>
<p>Tell us about an experience which, at the time, really felt like "the end of the world" -- but had it not happened, you would not be who you are today. Describe the process through which you discovered value in the negative.</p>
<p>I wrote an essay, but I'm not sure if it's relevant enough to the prompt. Would somebody be so kind as to read it and help me out here?</p>

<p>I'll post the part I'm most worried about. This is an excerpt from my essay with the End of the World connection. The essay is about how I had to use my sister's pink bike to get a cool bike that all the kids at school had. Do you think this applies to the question?</p>

I told her that I was only using the bike for instructional purposes, and the new Mongoose 2000 would be in any day now. There was no way that I could let my friends find out about this mortal embarrassment. All my years of street credibility would be flushed down the commode. I could see my social life disintegrating before my eyes.
“And what, exactly, is wrong with a pink bicycle?”
I stood there, dumbfounded. Then it hit me. I realized that I was not afraid the color pink; I was afraid of being different. The pink bicycle, streamers included, is still fundamentally a bike. A situation that appeared to be shaping up as a premature apocalypse turned out to be a dud. My art teacher was right. Being different is nothing to be ashamed of at all. If my own boundaries could not be challenged, my comfort zone exited, how could I grow as a person? I thanked my art teacher and proudly showed off my biking skills to the rest of my family.

<p>After this part I talk about being yourself etc. Do you all think the essay answers the question? That is my main concern and the only thing keeping me from submitting my application right now.</p>
<p>seems fine to me.</p>
