<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I'm in a dilemma and I don't really know how I should approach the princeton supplementary essay. Right now, I'm leaning on option 4 which is:</p>

<p>"using a favorite quotation from an essay or book you have read in the last three years as a jumping point, tell us about an event or experience that helped you define one of your values or changed how you approached the world. Please write the quotation at the beginning of your essay"</p>

<p>Is it okay if the quote I'm using is "courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear?" It's not really a quote I found from an essay or anything but it really fits with what i'm trying to write about... do you think they will really care?</p>

<p>The prompt specifically requires you to use " a favorite quotation from an essay or book" as a jumping point. Here, you are making up a quote -- so you are ignoring the prompt. You do so at your own risk.</p>

<p>Perhaps, you could write this essay as responsive to your "free choice" prompt.</p>

but I'm not making up the quote though. The quote is actually quite famous and it's by Ambrose Redmoon...</p>

<p>If it doesn't work, I guess I can still do something else</p>
