<p>Hi. This is my prompt:
B - Describe a setback you have encountered in your life. Explain how you have handled the situation and what you have learned from it. </p>
<p>Problem is, I honestly can not think of a setback to write about. I just don't think I've had any major setbacks. My life hasn't been a breeze, but I can't think of any setbacks...Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks...</p>
<p>Has there been a class that was particularly challenging but you worked extra hard to succeed? It sounds simple but could make for a good essay if written well.</p>
<p>No class in particular comes to mind. I suppose I could talk about AP Lang . and Comp. since I barely got an A in it haha…But I’m not sure how well that would work. At least that’s something I can fall back on. Thanks, but I hope I can get something better haha. But thanks a ton! This is much better than anything I’ve thought of yet.</p>
<p>Edit: The only thing my family has suggested is, embarrassingly, being bullied when I was younger. I don’t think it would be a good idea to write about that as I might come off as whiny or like a “woe is me” person. It also just seems too personal…Do you guys agree? I think Ebtrvl’s idea is better than this.</p>
<p>Any family struggles? Even small ones that got you depressed or sad?</p>
<p>(Un)fortunately no. Parents are married and everything…</p>
<p>How about your parents getting mad at you for being irresponsible/ making a bad mistake/ being a kid?</p>
<p>There has to be something! lol</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve made any bad mistakes(that they know of) in particular haha.</p>
<p>Heck, make a story up!</p>
<p>Well, I don’t think it’d be smart to make up a setback…I think I may just take Ebtrvl’s advice. It’s the best that I can imagine myself writing at the moment. Thanks for the help guys. (But, if you have an idea, feel free to tell me lol)</p>
<p>What about a time you had to turn in a paper and thought you’d emailed it to yourself, but the email was blank… or something like that? It’s pretty minor but if you wrote it thoughtfully and with lots of excitement/tension, and then showed how you respond to stress, it could work…?</p>
<p>Haha, that’s never happened :P. Also, I forgot. This essay can only be 200 words…and this app is due Dec. 1 lol</p>
<p>Friendship problems?</p>
<p>How about that one time you were trying to write a setback essay but were setback because you didn’t have any setbacks in life?</p>
<p>That would be amazing hahaha, but I’m afraid they wouldn’t take that seriously. I think I’m going to write about a difficult class sadly. Thanks for all of the help guys!</p>
