<p>Like I stated, I have a couple ideas on what I may like writing my Haverford supplement essay on (Honor Code one). What I can't figure out is which prompt of the three each would fit into. </p>
<p>1) contrasting how extensive Haverford's Honor Code is to my highschool's- in the student handbook the honor code is literally a sentence long and is very rarely addressed in the day to day routine. People will push the boundaries of the "honor code" here and do not hold it in very high respect.</p>
<p>2) talking about how recently I had stuff stolen from my dorm room and finding it in another student's room. With the Honor Code set up at Haverford, it is made clear that instances like this are not tolerated if they do occur, which I expect isn't too often because each student pledges their devotion to it. </p>
<p>If anyone could give anymore insight with which might work better and which prompt it'd go with would be very helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think the first one would be better! You should make sure to address how you differ from the general air of disrespect towards the honor code in your school.</p>
<p>The second one, IMO, is not as good, because at least from the way it is worded right now, you seem more like a passive actor in the situation.</p>
<p>Idk if that makes a ton of sense. If you have more questions just ask!</p>
<p>I agree with dancelover1595. However, I think you should try to look at everything positively. No one wants to read an essay where you just bash your school. You need to draw interesting comparisons and maybe talk about what your school could learn from Haverford to do things better. I think this lends itself to the “necessary condition for open dialogue” question (I don’t remember the specific number). </p>
<p>Lastly, these pieces of writing are meant to represent your personal opinions and ideas, not the opinions of CC. I guess this is a bit strange coming from me because I am more than happy to give my opinion, but it is something to consider. What I am trying to say is that you should go with your gut. Don’t let anything you read here hold to much weight because this is your essay, and you should try to make it represent you as much as possible. I wish you the best of luck with your supplement! =)</p>
<p>Thank you both! I don’t think I did a very good job of explaining what I meant for each but it appears you guys got the jist. I like both of your suggestions and they help a lot (:</p>
