<p>I have seen some very helpful posters on this section of the forum, and I was looking for some critique on my essay topic. I will leave out specifics to prevent "plagiarism" (if you can really call it that, but it was something warned about on this section of the forum)</p>

<p>The prompt addressed would be the one about a story central to your identity.</p>

<p>-I would start of with some kind of introduction
-discuss how I learned about some idea but was skeptical
-how I tested the idea in an extracurricular and significantly improved
-how what I learned can be used in college/future.</p>

<p>does this sound too cheesy/fake/cliche?<br>
does this convey well passion/enjoyment for the EC (I actually enjoy this EC), or should I discuss something learned from a struggle in the EC?</p>

<p>edit: do I have to be significantly good at the EC to write about it (ie, placing in conference/state for a sport, or aime for math, etc.)</p>

<p>Only if you write it that way. People are always posting ideas/topics and asking if they’re okay, but it’s really hard to tell whether or not a topic itself is acceptable. You have to see the actual essay.
I can see the “how I’ll use this in the future” part becoming pretty trite, though.</p>
