<p>None of us can tell you what to write about or even give ideas. It’s up to you and you are responsible for it.The essay is there to illustrate “you”, not “someone else”. And regarding the joke idea, if we post something here, 1) someone else will write about it as well taking away the unique nature of your essay or 2) it will be something several people could come up with and lead to an commonplace essay.</p>
