<p>Ok, we all Know that Unique essays that are well written and talk about YOU! will definitely SELL! But I want to write about a teacher who have helped shape me in different ways. Most of what I will write is about this teacher. Do you think I'm being too heavy on her or you think I should go ahead with it if its something i'm really passionate about? Also can you give me some pointers on how to start off. </p>
<p>Will Greatly appreciate feedback Thanks=]</p>
<p>if you focus on how she shaped you, and not just praising her, it's a good essay idea.</p>
<p>i dont know if your writing it for common app but i think this can fit well into the topic about a person that has influenced you.. (dont remember what exactly the topic says but something like that)</p>
<p>just fyi, this would be a good topic for the princeton supp essay, about a person who has influenced you. I was considering writing about a teacher for that one too.</p>
<p>hoogli- yeah; thats basically what I'm planning on doing</p>
<p>accepted- [first of all; accepeted 2 where?]...&& I doubt i'll use the common app...2 me its like a diss to the school...especially Columbia....which does offer common app anyway; but thanx</p>
<p>Actually, just so you know, many schools use to common app exclusively...so you'll probably be using it for some schools.</p>
<p>talk about how they shaped you intellectually, or turned you on to an intellectual world previously unknown to you.</p>
<p>fhgwgads2005, Thanks I will</p>
<p>but.....I just want to talk about how this teacher influenced me in some way and my admiration for her
her, besides, its a bonus essay to Columbia. I already have a passion essay so the additional is ok.</p>
