oh my Jesus, please help me guys!

<p>I need to have a really kickass essay for the university of my dreams. top ten percent is a major deal with them and since my school doesnt rank, and even so, I probably wouldn't be in the top ten percent, the rest of my application needs to be pristine. Here is the essay question:</p>

<p>Write an essay in which you tell us about someone who has made an impact on your life and explain how and why this person is important to you. </p>

<p>I know I want to write about my mom, about the fact that she has molded me into the person I am today, and how she has taught me about sacrifice, hard word, and the importance of an education, but good Lord, I have no idea where to start! Please help me with any suggestions!!!!</p>

<p>make sure the essay is about how she's molded YOU, not just about how great she is</p>

<p>Some things to think about:
What are some specific ways she molded you into the person you are today? How has she taught you about sacrifice, hard work, etc.?
How would you be a different person if she hadn't taught you/molded you the way she did?</p>
