The Perfect College Essay?

<p>I have no clue how to pick a topic for the perfect college essay. I just wrote one quickly about my height (I'm a girl who is 6' 2") but is that not deep enough of a topic? I can send it to you if you want. I'm just lost when it comes to college essays. Help, please!</p>

<p>Sounds like it could be a good topic! Have a trusted adult or two - a teacher perhaps - read it and give you their reaction.</p>

<p>Thanks, I will! I’m just not sure about the topic. Nothing I write seems to be “me on paper”, which is kind of what I’m hoping to portray…</p>

<p>I love your topic! You get to share the triumphs and challenges of a 6’2 gal-it’s perfect. As with any essay, show don’t tell and include a lot of detail. Make it personal and tell the story like you are telling it to a close friend.</p>

<p>You know, I would just write out anything you have in mind and pick your favorite AFTER. I did this; I definitely did not expect to write about what I did.</p>
