<p>I was wondering, if you write about an issue, would you include a resolution/possible resolution to the issue? </p>
<p>For example for a personal issue like a procrastination problem, you would talk about how the issue effects you and why it is important, but would you also include a resolution to the issue? Like : "...then I realized that putting stuff off till the last minute was doing me much more harm than good. Since the start of senior year, I've worked to stay on top of my work ....."</p>
<p>or would you end the essay talking about how procrastination still affects you negatively?</p>
<p>Definitely talk about how you’re trying to overcome it. Don’t make it seem like the problem is no longer existent, because if it was you wouldn’t be writing about it, but talk about the steps you’ve taken to improve yourself. If you’ve seen progress, say that. Don’t just say there’s progress though, talk about how you’re trying to improve yourself. I think that, in this question, colleges want to see how you actively mature your learning habits. Defining a flaw shows your awareness, but discussing how you plan to overcome it/are already overcoming it shows that you are capable of improving yourself as a student and as a person. For procrastination specifically, you could say that you’ve tried to schedule your homework time or have limited distractions somehow or whatever it is you did to improve your study habits.</p>
