<p>I was researching about college application essays the other day and collegeboard.com suggested that I tell a story that conveys a certain characteristic about myself. Would it be a good or bad idea that I tell a story about a time where I hit someone's car before an interview but then went inside and came clean to the owner of the car?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It sounds good to me. Congratulations on your strength and honesty! :)</p>
<p>How did the interview go? It would also be impressive if you were able, while perhaps still being nervous and upset after the accident, to have a solid interview.</p>
<p>I think it could be an unusual, out-of-the-box essay that shows a strength of character.</p>
<p>Ok great! I actually ended up getting the job. It was pretty difficult to pull it together because I was in tears when I got in there. But the interviewers (all THREE of them) were really understanding and made me laugh it off.</p>
<p>Congratulations on getting the job! 
Perhaps your last line could be something like:</p>
