I want to write on how being bullied in my early years of high school made me a less insecure and shy person, and how overcoming being the victim of bullying turned out helping me to break out of my shell and excel academically/extracurricularly (or even just succeed at tasks I would have before been too afraid to even attempt).
I then want to focus on one experience last year I had when I had to make a 5 minute speech to my grade, and how normally this would be my biggest fear, but due to the persistence, strength and confidence that being bullied gave me, I ended up being voted to have the best speech in the grad
I think it is a terrible idea sorry. Another admissions please feel sorry for me because I persevered after being a victim and if it isnt written just the right way could come across as made up. The victim thing is not the way to go-true or not.
Yeah, I think this story might be a bit too generic. Are there certain nuances to the story that make it uniquely you? Why not write about something more personal?
I like your topic because I think it would suggest to the college that you would be someone who would help protect other students in the dorm if there was bullying, and that you would have a caring attitude towards those who might have trouble making friends. If you have examples of how you learned to create a positive social environment for others, include that as well as how it helped your own personal growth.
I think it could work however my suggestion is to start the essay with the successful speech and then work backward as to what made it possible for you to accomplish that.
