Question Regarding my Common App Essay Topic

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm thinking to respond to the prompt about failure and was just wondering whether my topic would fit the bill. I'm planning to write about my multiple attempts at landing an internship, job, and research opportunities and how they all failed, making me wiser, and more decisive about the future and so on while also spurring me to strive harder and further kindling my passion and talent in math and the sciences.</p>

<p>Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!</p>
