stuck between 2 essay for common app

<p>For the CommonApp essay, I stuck between two choices:</p>

<p>1) About this volunteer work I do where I go to downtown and feed the homeless and listen to their stories. It made me realize how each person had a past normal life.</p>

<p>2) About how my dad had to move to another state because to make a business there. I would emphasize on the financial hardships I encountered. </p>

<p>Any suggestions on which one I should write about</p>

<p>NUMBER ONE</p>

<p>my sister wrote an essay about this same exact thing and got into UVA. Not to down her, but she had no business getting into that school but had a great essay and great recommendations. Just make sure you pull it off. Good LUCK!</p>

<p>Thanks, other recommendations?</p>
