<p>@bomerr Yes, I know that they want to see how I will contribute to the student body and all that. But I was just going to tie that into my personal experiences.</p>
<p>I just read an essay where a girl talked about how she developed a love for bacon, and then she created a metaphor comparing her love bacon to her love for knowledge. Another guy talked about how his grandmother died from cancer and how that drove his motivation to become a doctor. I thought it was a decent format.</p>
<p>Do you think it’s a bad idea? Maybe writing about homeschooling experiences is probably a bad idea, but do you object to this format in general?</p>
