<p>The essay topic for the school I am applying to asks you to talk about a life experience, accomplishment, etc. and how that will affect your college experience.
My problem is I am unsure what one experience to write about, so I was going to throw them out there and see if any of you could tell me if one seems better than another.
I could write about: </p>
<p>My first year running track sophomore year I made it to regionals and during the race at regionals a girl fell in front of me and i had to jump over her and when I did I rolled my ankle but kept running and came in third and went to states but I had ended up damaging a tendon in my foot. I would be talking about how I work hard, endure, push forward, etc. </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>My grandpa went to the school I am applying at but didn't have enough money and had to drop out, and my experiences with him and how he shaped me, and him dying of cancer. </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>I volunteer at Hospice and I had talked to this one patient Mary for several weeks and she was my friend and I came in one day and found out she had died. It really just made me feel bad how sometimes I had complained about not wanting to volunteer one day and thought about how I complain about school or track, etc. and it made me stop to think about life. </p>
<p>All input will be GREATLY appreciated!</p>
