<p>For the supplemental essays, should I try to be original or more meaningful. Like for option one, what if I say the person that really influenced me doesn't really know me and I don't really know them (as in talk)... or what if it's the idea of a person and not really a physical, living person...
also if I were to do the second one instead, when it says start off, does that mean just give me an idea, or do I refer to it and stuff?</p>
