what do you think of this as a common app essay topic?

i will be answering prompt #3. (answer about a time when you’ve challenged something. would you do it again? and why?)
-mention that i am a person of religious background
-constantly struggling with things i identify myself with vs my beliefs
-in school, whenever i learn something, it’s always offered me a chance to argue against what my religion stands against or what i can see loopholes through (insert specific experience)
-exercises my grounds in which i believe open-mindedness is key

As long as you find that balance between the details of that specific experience and the overarching message you want to send, this could be a really strong essay :slight_smile:
