for writing about how i have overcome challenges i want to write about my past issue with self confidence due to being teased for my bright red hair (which is now my favorite feature). is a topic like this overdone or could it be a good idea? i’m really not sure
Meh. Seems like something a young kid would write about, to be honest. Reach a little more if you can. Try to find something with a few more layers of complexity. Something not so clear cut. Something where you question yourself a little, look at others differently, see a different perspective. Something where you get tested pretty hard and maybe even fail before you succeed. Something that illustrates your capacity for growth and self analysis.
I think I would dig deeper.
