question on essay style

<p>hey guys! for an essay that asks something along the lines of "describe how our programs will help you in your future ambitions / aspirations?", would it be good to just stick to describing the ways it'll help, or perhaps write it in a retrospective style (what I mean is that I write form the hypothetical perspective of myself in the future, looking back on how the school / program helped me achieve)? or any ideas? :)</p>
