Doing dog therapy at my local hospital or about my inspiration Venus Williams?
Can’t tell without reading the finished product, but your essay has to be about you. I’m not sure how an essay could smilingalong’s best traits if it’s about Venus Williams.
@usualhopeful My friend wrote an essay that got her into Tufts about Judge Scalia. She compared his traits to how she wants to live her life etc.
The dog therapy one sounds good, but, like any story, it must be a story arc about your character development. How have you changed - gotten wiser/better/stronger - by doing that? Keep it visual… start with an interesting anecdote about a specific incident, then introduce you/the situation, then your transition, then the new, stronger/better/wiser you. Remember to portray yourself as a person of strength. How did the experience mold what/who you want to become?
