<p>So i am a new member but a long time reader. and i just finished my college essay for the common app. I feel like it was pretty well written and at the very least, honest. So i will give you a short summary of my topic. I used to be a pretty big jock (not to brag) but sports was my life. But i hurt my back and had to try new things. basically i became engaged in other things and now i can overcome stuff later on blah blah. My question is, is this just way to tried and clich</p>
<p>if you can write it well, dont worry about it being cliche.
personalize it with your own spin and youll do fine, dont stress too much.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
