<p>I'm working on my essay for the third option: </p>

<p>In a homily during his visit to the United States, Pope Benedict XVI stated, "Today's celebration is more than an occasion of gratitude for graces received. It is also a summons to move forward with firm resolve to use wisely the blessings of freedom, in order to build a future of hope for coming generations.</p>

<p>"How will a Notre Dame education enable you to answer the call to "use wisely the blessings of freedom, in order to build a future of hope" for others in your own way?</p>

<p>I'm just wondering if I'm headed in the right direction, its turning pretty much into a why nd essay. Is this where I should be going, i'm just discussing what my goals in life are and how I feel ND will get me there because it has everything i need, academics, the experiences, etc. </p>

<p>Thanks.. :)</p>

<p>Yes, it could work. However, make sure you don’t loose track of the prompt - they want you to talk about a “future of hope”, and building for generations ahead. Your essay should contain that sentiment</p>
