<p>I have no idea what to write. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure what side of me to show them, or how exactly to portray that. I'm a really good writer as far as academic essays, and creative pieces, so this shouldn't be a problem, yet it is?! I'm stuck. </p>
<p>Some of my ideas for what to write are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>how volunteering at a home for the terminally ill has made me grow as a person and how it is has made me realize how much I want to get into the medical field [I already wrote about this for the short answer on the Common App though....so I'd have to change that..?]</p></li>
<li><p>how diversity is important in the world and how and why I would like more of it in my life [I really would like to write this essay, however, it is VERY similar supplement for University of Rochester, which is one of my top schools]</p></li>
<li><p>how important a positive attitude is and how I dealt with the negative attitude of many members on my cross country team, as team captain</p></li>
<li><p>the beauty of imperfection [vague idea... I've just always struggled as a perfectionist and I am finding the beauty of imperfection, so I thought I could possibly go somewhere with that]</p></li>
<li><p>how my older brother has made me grow as a person. He has asberger's syndrome and life is much more difficult for him and that has made me who I am in many ways. However, I don't really want to portray him as this kid with a disability because nobody thinks of him like that. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>... which of those sound like my best shot?!</p>
<p>thanks so much for your help! it is GREATLY appreciated :)</p>
