UC essay too short?

<p>Hi there!
I'm currently in the process of finishing my UC essays with the first one about the world I come from and how it's shaped my dreams, and the second one is about a quality I'm proud of.
My first essay seems like it will be about 300 or so words, and my second one seems like it will be around that length. Aside from adding more about how it impacts me, is there a way I should lengthen it?
I don't want to ramble, but I don't want to be too brief, either. Feel free to ask to read it and critique. Any advice is welcome, and thank you for reading!</p>

<p>I think you have to think a little bit bigger picture. You are thinking too small if the first one is only 300 words. 2nd one at that length is find. But the first one, you really want to use this to frame who you are and what you have made of yourself, given your background.</p>

<p>You’re right. Thank you a bunch! I’m going to write more about the “how?”</p>
