<p>So I am thinking about answering this question: Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.</p>
<p>Would it be cliche/ bad to talk about climate change, and how people need to recycle more and conserve energy and stuff like that?
I did my girl scout gold award on promoting and creating a recycling program at a local high school, so I feel like I could connect it to that.
What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Yes that would be cliche. Admissions people are well aware of climate change and the need to recycle. I would make your essay about you and the work you have done with Girl Scouts.</p>
<p>One of my advisers told me that adcoms look for people who take this topic and apply it to something that is specific to them, like something on a local level, an experience that not any one could recreate or a topic that wouldn’t seem important to most people. If you could take the topic and apply it to something personal, you could make it a lot less cliche.</p>
