<p>My essay will be about quitting a job because i failed at something, and then realizing that i always quit things when things don't go as exactly planned. I'll then talk about how this almost happened in a class but i realized how great of a learning experience it was to fail and basically my lesson learned is that i shouldn't always quit things when things don't go right at first.
is this interesting or cliche?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Generally interesting but be careful about the tone. You really want to sound like you’ve recognized this is a problem for you and made an attempt to change it and stick with things – because you don’t want any college to be left with the impression that you’ll get there, have a hard time with calculus first semester and drop out.</p>
<p>I say write it and see how it reads – all essays sound ok in theory but see if you can make it work in practice.</p>
<p>Thanks, i’m just concerned if its interesting/unique?
And yea my fear is that colleges will be scared i’m a quitter but im gonna try hard to make it seem that i’m not without taking out the quality of the essay</p>
<p>It’s not unique in the way it would be unique to write about your Olympic gold medal – but really how many people have something like that?? My point is – most people will write about topics like yours that aren’t super-unique; it’s what you do with the topic and what you do to tell your story that makes the essay uniquely yours. I don’t think your topic is clichéd or anything – like it would be to write about how meaningful it was to hit the game winning shot in the basketball game.</p>
<p>no that’s not what i mean about unique. i’m talking unique as in you write an essay about your love for toilets etc not like oh im a celebrity
but thanks i was hoping it wasnt cliche</p>
<p>I think it’s unique that your failure isn’t actually a “failure” in the conventional sense, but what you have done as a result of them. Also, there’s the advantage that not many people write successfully on this topic, let alone choose it.
How you write it will matter more, but the topic itself seems pretty well thought-out!</p>
