<p>I'm having trouble choosing a topic for my activity essay. I have two choices:</p>
<ol>
<li>Being a Medical Intern/ Hospital Volunteer</li>
</ol>
<p>The pros are...</p>
<p>I am planning to major in and have a career related to the sciences.</p>
<p>I had some interesting experiences that I could share.</p>
<p>The con is...</p>
<p>The topic has probably been done a million times.</p>
<ol>
<li>Writing</li>
</ol>
<p>The pros are...</p>
<p>This is a vulnerable topic for me and can really showcase who I am as a person.</p>
<p>This can easily tie in with my personal statement, which is about how a work in literature affected me.</p>
<p>The con is...</p>
<p>None of my common application essays will demonstrate why I have an interest in science.</p>
