I really need help on a matter that concerns my essay topic. In your honest opinion, do you think it would be too cliche to write an essay based on the failure prompt talking about how I got a bad grade once and how it turned me around academically and pushed me to become a better student. Pretty much an essay explaining my bad grades early in highschool and how I am now a changed person who works much harder and gets better grades. Idk I feel like a lot of people might write this kind of essay to exempt themselves from a bad GPA, which is kind of what I would be aiming to do as well. In my case I really did turn my life around and am now a much better student, but even if what I’m writing is true I feel like a college would just view it as an excuse and I would come off as whiny. What do you think?

too cliche. but if you do, dont focus so much on the event but focus on more what you learned from it and how you applied that
Sound cliche to me.
