<p>Ok so for those who are using the Commonapp questions this year, you all know that there is a prompt that asks you to describe a place where you are content in.
For this question, how should these introductions and conclusions go? Should I personally write "and this is why I'm content in <strong><em>" or "a place I'm content in is _</em></strong>_".
How do you tie your essay back to the question so that you make sure you answered the question? How do you make sure you're not just describing a place and how you feel, rather than really emphasizing the fact that you are content there?</p>
<p>If you describe the place and how you feel and why you feel why you feel then you should answer the Q just by doing that. If you don’t answer the Q, you’ve done something wrong. I recommend not using “I am content in my ____ because _____” That is formulaic and doesn’t show your voice.</p>
