<p>So for the main essay I was thinking about taking about how I jumped in a river last summer to retrieve my sister's shoes. I think it would be a pretty original essay, and show how I like to help people and take challenges/risks.</p>
<p>For the EC short answer I was thinking about elaborating on a business I founded.</p>
<p>Don’t be too worried about sounding original. The college admissions officers ive talked to say that they read so many essays, no one is completely original. There’s almost always some overlap. But the essay topics sound great, especially the one about the business you founded. Did you incorporate within your state?</p>
