<p>I thought the supplementary essay was supposed to be short and simple, instead of squeezing in lots of things--but now I've ended up with this: my lil' bro and I sang in the rain at a bus stop one night; I was mad but then realized that we had to change (in this case, cheer ppl up) instead of just being angry. It sounds so immature and trivial.
Should I write about something else, like coming to appreciate my identity as Asian-American? I sort of think that's what ppl would want to see. "I've moved back and forth between the US and China, and some event helped me understand my unique identity..." I have a good event in mind but I'm not sure about changing my essay since I have only 2 days left.
Can anyone help me?</p>
<p>Without having seen the essay, I would say that the first one you wrote is great...not everything has to be a super serious discussion. My supplemental essay was about how I was suspended from pre-school. Don't worry about what the essay you're "supposed to write" is. At this point, I think that admissions offices are sick of hearing the essays you were supposed to write. And this late, in such a high stress time, the new essay you would write probably would not be up to the same quality as the essay you wrote in what I am assuming was a more relaxed state. </p>
<p>If you want to, I could take a look the essay that you already wrote and any beginning you may have written for the second one.</p>
