<p>I'm applying to USC and I wrote my essay based on the prompt:</p>
<p>USC's speaker series What Matters to Me and Why asks faculty and staff to reflect on their values, beliefs, and motivations. Presenters talk about choices they have made, difficulties encountered and commitments solidified. Write an essay about an event or experience that helped you learn what is important to you and why it is important. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate the help!
If you're willing to, I'll PM you. Thank you!</p>
<p>Just a quick question and a word of advice. First, I am also going to do this essay–but one question. I have heard that you should “show your passions” through your essay, but talking about your values and what is important to you might not necessarily show what you are passionate about (i.e. ECs, hobbies). Is this ok?</p>
<p>Also, for essays editing online, you want to be careful who you send it to. Make sure it is someone who is well known for editing essays. Also, don’t send it to anyone who just joined and has 3 posts, who wants to proofread it. =)</p>
<p>You can PM me if you want!</p>
<p>I’m willing to read it-PM me!</p>

<p>I think you’re right. Talking about your values and what is important to you might not show what you’re passionate about. I don’t think you have to talk about your passion (it will be really good if you can), but you just have to answer the prompt and reveal your personality. </p>
<p>Thank you for you’re advice! I’ll definitely keep that in mind. :)</p>
<p>I’d love to read it!! I’m applying to USC too and am working on perfecting mine as well and maybe you could read mine too when I’m done? Haha:)</p>
<p>If you want me to read it just PM me. I’LL READ! I’m also applying if anyone would like to read mine 
Hahaa.</p>
