<p>On a recent trip to Maui, I learned about the poverty and poor healthcare in the Hana mountains and I have since decided I want to start my own clinic up in the isolated mountains.</p>
<p>Its more of a dream slash heres the kinda thing I want to do when I get older. Is this ok for a common app essay?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s fine. I don’t think the topic matters that much. It’s what you say in your essay about the topic that matters more.</p>
<p>That’s true thanks. Do you have any tips for how to approach it?</p>
<p>Like what should my main assertion in the essay be?</p>
<p>I don’t like how the topic portrays you.
<p>^Ditto ChoklitRain. This kind of an experience might come off as a little bit too commonplace, as many people might feel that way, and you said yourself it is a dream slash thing to do when you’re older. Try a more personal experience that happened for real to you and how it impacted you. I suggest getting a book of college essays that were successful, and running them over to see their common themes.</p>
<p>lol beccasnow when you PM’d me I thought you said you already went through the essay process last year. So what essay is this for? Stop trying to steal my essays. K thanks.</p>
