I need some help writing this second essay, I don’t know what to focus on and how to start it out. If anyone can give any tips or help in anyway possible that’ll be great. Thank you.

This is about the easiest prompt out there. Pretty straight forward. Since we don’t know you or anything you do it isn’t easy to suggest. I find most students make the essay No 1 the larger share of the word limit and you are free to limit this one to 250 words if you like.

Look over your activities list. Brainstorm a list of other possible topics. Don’t worry about how to start it. Just sit down and write a bunch of thoughts and see where that takes you. Polish the opening after you get something basic written. Rewrite is key, it doesn’t have to be perfect the first draft.
