<p>^Oops, too late :P</p>
<p>It’s alright. I left out details about why my set-up works and how I made it work. Which is rather important too, I’d think. I just thought it might inspire someone.</p>
<p>I’m actually struggling more with the short answer than with the essay. Huh.</p>
<p>uhhhh damn, psychedlia, I actually had the same idea in mind (except I am a boy). This is such a hard question to come up with a really creative idea, so frustrating!</p>
<p>i can tell you it won’t be unique. This is exactly what I wrote and I finished my essay a week ago. I felt it was so good, now I have my doubts</p>
<p>Haha I had a similar idea psychadelia, but the world limit is too small to elaborate on the events that evolved you into a mover. I’m going to be writing the essay again, and I’m going to be only one of the three.</p>
<p>^An English teacher once wrote “Keep it simple, stupid” on my essays. I write by those words.</p>
<p>I really like the Ben Franklin question and believe I have a unique way of answering it. However, I don’t know if my drafts really convey my personality as much as I’d like them to. Chopping it down to 500 words has sort of taken some personality out of it, but all of the information/story telling has to stay in order for the essay to make sense. Sigh…well at least I have another month and a half to perfect it. Thought I’d revive this thread now that everyone’s working on the essays and our creative juices are flowing :)</p>
<p>Hahaha thanks alot domino2017! I actually have finally came up with something to write about for the Ben Franklin essay (I’m a mover!). Still working on the first one though! How about everyone else?!?</p>
<p>anyone know how to approach the first question uniquely? I think at some point it also can be generic.</p>
<p>I don’t think they expect you to be super creative with the first question. It’s a pretty focused question and therefore the main focus will probably be what you intend to do ACADEMICALLY at Penn. The Ben Franklin one is the one that can showcase your individuality in my opinion.</p>
<p>There really is no right answer to the second prompt. I think that as long as you clearly state your interpretation of the quote, and then justify it fully, you can’t be wrong by saying you’re immovable.</p>
<p>These essays are open to a ton of interpretation. Saying the former two of Ben Franklin’s three divisions of man won’t go against you if you explain yourself, your goals, and your personality in a positive way. The first question’s answer can be as generic or creative as you allow it to be IMO. You can list of the things you want to study or you can find a creative way to say the same things.</p>
<p>i said that i’m immovable and i’m really happy with how it turned out 
it goes way beyond just being stubborn you just have to dig deep good luck everyone!</p>
