<p>I really dislike this essay prompt. It is next to impossible to avoid being pretentious. </p>
<p>I also couldn't help but notice that it allows 4000 characters. I think so far I have used about 700 and I really don't have much more to say...Is that a really bad thing?
How are other people approaching this to make it better? Please feel free to share ideas...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
