<p>I need help with an essay. I have written plenty of essays before for colleges and scholarships, but this one really gets me. </p>
<p>I need some ideas on what I can write this on.</p>
<p>Describe the one intellectual concept that has most changed your perspective and how has it been resurfacing in your extracurricular and academic experiences?</p>
<p>This requires self-reflection.</p>
<p>yeah i know but I can't think of anything =</p>
<p>I need some ways to "self-reflect"</p>
<p>Perhaps start out by making a list of your main ECs and academic experiences.</p>
<p>Now: is there some theme, something they all, or many of them, have in common?</p>
<p>"Intellectual Concept" is kind of a weird phrase. Sometimes it pays to play with the question. You could talk about how gravity (it is something of an intellectual concept after all) has really affected your perspective.</p>
<p>adamus, I agree with you completely. I think I am just thrown off by "intellectual concept" </p>
<p>I was thinking about writing the essay about myself and how I want to learn about myself through my various activities and the classes I take. I enjoy certain extracurriculars because they help me grow as a person and really get to know myself. </p>
<p>Is there an intellectual concept which relates to that? I was thinking maybe a stretched version of nirvana when I can become at peace with myself.</p>
