Which personal essay topic?

<p>After a little thought, I've thought of two personal essay topics that I like, but I can't decide between the two. I'm applying to U of Mich and need a good essay to get in because I have a slightly weak GPA. Do you guys like either one of these topics or should I scratch them both and go for a completely new view?</p>

<p>1) My love for computer programming and how the way programming works is extremely reflective of my views on life and the world</p>

<p>2) My experience working in a center for abandoned mentally/physically handicapped children in India (i'm indian btw) and its effects on my emotions and views (this one seems slightly cliche to me).</p>

<p>3) Something totally different.</p>

<p>So, 1,2 or 3?
Thanks in Advance</p>
