<p>I wrote three possible common app essays but my favorite is sort of unique. I hate the way my writing sounds in first person so I wrote the essay as if it were a story about someone else. At the end, of course, I explained and brought it all together. The point of the essay is about my personality and how I deal with new or uncomfortable social situations (like the first day of school) and end up becoming outgoing, etc. It incorporates my best ECs, years of volunteering at a Children's Hospital and a nursing home.</p>
