<p>How does this essay topic sound?</p>
<p>I enjoyed making things since I was little, story basically goes from toys + inventions to website development.</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>unique essay topic?</p>
<p>Would you include an anecdote for the “building toys as a kid” section of your essay? Personally, I think that’d be the perfect spot for a little story about your fascination with building early on. </p>
<p>Tying it to website development seems like a bit of a stretch (but that’s just me). I’m certainly not you, and as long as you can find a clear, tangible tie between the two, I think it would work fantastically! Shows your progression and how your ideals and motives progressed along side you.</p>
<p>However, if your goal was to stand out and be completely unique, this essay topic is quite common (quirky younger traits ending with a long lasting mentality towards life). In fact, one of my supplementary essays follows exactly that format. As long as you can be creative with the way you describe event (do more show than tell), you should be fine. Just realize that this type of essay is a fairly common approach. </p>
<p>I hope I didn’t confuse you at all. Thought in my head sometimes have some difficulties traveling through a language medium. Haha. Good luck with your essay though :)</p>
<p>^ and obviously autocorrect seems to have taken it’s toll on my response. Forgive the random, incoherent rambles thar occur. Hopefully you still understand…</p>
<p>I’ve actually seen this same one before, except it was about someone going from playing with toys to going into bioengineering. But it still sounds pretty unique.</p>
<p>It’s not the subject that matters. A compelling topic, boringly written is boring. A common topic, compellingly written – is compelling.</p>
<p>May I direct you to this?

<p>Select a topic that you can really write about with clarity and reflects who you are – not one that’s just catchy for its own sake. Good luck.</p>
