<p>So I have written and rewritten my essay several times and have finally made a decent essay. Now I need to conclude the essay. How should I do so? I am answering topic #1 for common app (experience that changed you). Also, are these essays supposed to be stories and then a little self evaluation? Basically, so far, mine is just a story-- but it is quite obvious how this affected me. Is it ok to have a concluding paragraph as the only explicit evaluation of the experience? Thanks!!!</p>
