<p>When they say a paragraph to a page in length, do we assume they mean double space? </p>
<p>And for the question that asks you to write about your hero and how he/she influenced your life .... would it be too cliche to write about my dad...? </p>
<p>1st question: I would not assume double space, but don’t use 8 point.</p>
<p>2nd question: No. The cliche might be what you write, not who you write about. Why not your dad?</p>
