recognizing own faults

[upmaster]

<p>Schools say you need to be 'true to yourself' and 'don't try to please the reader' when writing the essay, but are there certain faults you shouldn't talk about? I'm writing about my lack of passion toward the activities and hobbies I pursue, and my determination to find what I want to do... does this come across as a weak/ unconfident applicant?</p>
