Starting the CA essay

<p>It comes out in a few days!!! </p>

<p>But does anyone have any suggestions on how to start their personal essay? I've read that you must sell yourself to the Adcoms but how do you choose what do you want to write about? I am completely befuddled on how to start and I really hope you guys have some tips for me on how to start/how to choose a topic??? </p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>Just think of something that means enough to you that you could write passionately about it for 500 words. </p>

<p>Do you want to tell about something that once happened to you?
Or something you want to do?
Or someone who influenced you?
Or an activity you really loved?
Or about a tragedy in your life?</p>

<p>What ever you do, make sure to show a lot about yourself. The key to this is to show, not tell, how you thought during and more importantly after the event. Then, show how you grew from it through either reflecting or showing another event later on that demonstrates said change. </p>

<p>Anything else, just ask! </p>

<p>Best regards,
