Essay Topic help

I’ve started to write an essay but I don’t like it at all. The problem I have is I don’t have anything to write about. The topic I’m trying to write about is something about sports and how it connects to school. It seems like a good topic, but as I write the essay it seems fake to me. Any suggestions for general topics that I can have as a backup?

Right now I’m trying to write about how being “curious” helped me
