What am I supposed to write about?

<p>I'm applying through the common app and I've been told to write an essay that gives the college an idea of who I am, apart from the numbers. My SAT and GPA aren't as high as I'd like it to be so I feel like my essay needs to be awesome! </p>

<p>I haven't really had any crazy experiences and I haven't really had many opportunities to do a lot of extraordinary things. So what am I supposed to write about for my essay?</p>
