<p>Hello CCers,</p>
<p>I was wonder if, for Princeton's supplemental essay prompt about an influential person in one's life, it is okay to write about a stranger? The essay I have written mainly focuses on how the stranger has influenced/motivated me, but does not talk much about the stranger itself. The main concern I have is the fact that the "influential person" is a stranger I have only had contact with once. </p>
<p>Will Princeton consider the weight of this essay diminished since my person is a stranger? Thanks!</p>
<p>The prompt (exact wording):

Tell us about a person who has influenced you in a significant way.
