<p>ok, so ive been going back and forth with essay topics
this is one of them</p>

<p>for the significant experience essay or i can put it under choice of your topic</p>

<p>about me failing my first test. the effect it had on me and how i grew from it
OR
going to a clothing drive and how it effected me</p>

<p>which is better</p>
