<p>I have to write an essay for Georgetown for this prompt:</p>
<p>In the space available discuss the significance to you of the school or summer activity in which you have been most involved.</p>
<p>However, I already have an essay on my job. Do you think it would be okay to discuss the significance of my job (the actual work I'm doing, rather than the paycheck)?</p>
<p>What is the actual work you’re doing? </p>
<p>It all depends if you feel that talking about your job addresses the prompt completely.</p>
<p>I just wasn’t sure if talking about my job as a child-care worker qualified as as “school or summer activity.” I take care of two to three year olds.</p>
<p>I would lean towards the actual work you are doing.</p>
<p>Meh… My essay is about the actual work I’m doing. It mentions nothing about the pay check. ** I just wasn’t sure if talking about my job as a child-care worker qualified as as "school or summer activity. **</p>
<p>I talked about an activity out of scope of the school and summer (an activity that’s like a job; I do contract work and own a few online organizations). I mean, I participated during the summer, right? You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Don’t talk about the same activity in 2 different essays unless you are showing completely different aspects. You are missing an opportunity to talk about something entirely different and showcase other parts of your application.</p>
<p>Well, I already submitted my essay, but just to clarify:</p>
<p>I had already written an essay about my job FOR ANOTHER APPLICATION. I was wondering if it would be okay to use that essay for this prompt, as I was wondering if my job qualified as a summer/school activity.</p>
<p>Ahhh. Of course you can use the other essay or modify it as needed to fit the prompt. If you did this activity in the summer then yes, it qualifies as a summer activity. I imagine that it could be the main thing you were doing in the summer.</p>
