<p>I was planning on writing about my experience on the cross-country team. I want to write about how the group dynamics influenced me, and how my role on the the team evolved. Is this too conceptual for a 150-word essay? I will work in some specifics (what I did as captain, how the environment changed when we got a new coach, etc.), but is it really necessary to include details that apply to so many other people's experiences, like how often we practice and how the meets are run?</p>
