<p>okay, so I was brainstorming some more topics for the failure prompt on the commonapp.
Do you guys think that somehow working in my failure to be a good friend or good sister (maybe highlight some specific event) because of my failure to express my feelings and open up to people, will work? I will, of course, mention how this event (maybe losing a friend or i dunno) made me realize that in order for me to build more successful relationships i have to let people inside?
Would it be too cliche/cheesy?</p>
<p>The failed relationships part sounds good, but I’m a bit wary of the letting people inside aspect. Sounds a bit cheesy and perhaps overdone. Try to think of something else you learned from your failed relationships maybe?</p>
<p>Hmm, maybe taking people for granted? being obtuse? selfish?</p>
<p>@jmoney22 those topics sound better, but it will be difficult to present these in a new light that the admission board hasn’t seen before. Good luck!</p>
