<p>I am not sure how to approach the essay. The prompt is: "You have just complete you 300 page autobiography. Please submit page 217."
I wrote an essay about my sophomore/junior years, but my counselor told me that Penn wanted the essay about your future life, since page 217 would be one's 50's or 60's. I, however, think that it could be either my life up until now, or my future life. I only think that it is NOW because they say "You have JUST completed...".</p>

<p>Anyone want to share what they did or what they think?</p>

<p>I wasn't sure where to post this, so I ended posting it in a few forums..</p>

<p>Have fun with the essay. It's your chance to be creative and express yourself. I projected myself 10 years into the future for my essay.</p>
