<p>wouldn't the essay then be similar to the short answer ?</p>
<p>It’s OK if you write about 2 different EC’s. I would not write about the same one twice.</p>
<p>I’m writing mine about different aspects of it – would that work?</p>
<p>I’m writing my main essay using an experience from that activity to illustrate a point about my personality, whereas I’m using the EC short answer to discuss the activity itself and its impact on me.</p>
<p>eb9811, thats totally fine. as long as you describe the activity and reveal yourself, you can talk about the same thing</p>
