<p>Hey guys, this may sound like a stupid question but here goes.</p>
<p>Does every college essay have to be about overcoming challenges and becoming a better person?
Because my life didn't involve any major hardships or difficulties.</p>
<p>I noticed this a lot as I was reading some posts on this forum.</p>
<p>I want to write my essay on how a certain class opened my eyes to pursue interest in science (what I want to study at college)</p>
<p>Is that okay for a common app essay topic?</p>
<p>Any help is appreciated!! Thank you so much</p>
