Hi everyone,
I’ve really been struggling to think of anything to write my Common App essay on, but early this morning at like 4 am I woke up and wrote a few paragraphs on my phone quick about something that was going through my head. The topic of the short draft I wrote is difficult to explain, but it is kind of about how when I was young I lacked so much confidence and was unable to be myself around anyone so I quit/refused to join any activities and really isolated myself; but when I moved and started high school I began rediscovering my interests and finally started allowing myself to /be/ myself around other people. I’m worried about sounding whiny or negative, but it is literally the only honest thing I’ve written for the general CA essay, and I don’t necessarily feel like it comes off negatively when it’s written out. If anyone would be willing to let me PM them to explain the topic further or show them the little bit I’ve written so I can get some second opinions that would be great.
