<p>I have trouble comprehending how this can really be made personal the way a college essay should be personal..., any tips, or examples/samples, ideas?</p>
<p>I think it's just about having certain feelings for local or national issues and maybe providing anecdotes as to why you feel that way.</p>
<p>What are you thoughts on doing a [slightly] contraversial topic for this?</p>
<p>my topic is {highly} controversial. I think that it's always about how you write about the topic, not necessarily what the topic is.</p>
