<p>So I really hate all of the Common App questions but since I have to do one of them, these are my only options. </p>
<h1>1: Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.</h1>
<p>Possible answers:
1. I have a rabbitry and show a lot of rabbits in Ohio. There's a lot to it and it could easily fill a story, but it's very strange and isn't something I feel "incomplete" without (but I could always make it sound like it is).
2. I have a sibling who has been struggling with drug addiction for around a decade now and I could easily materialize an essay out of that. I'm just worried it would be considered too much of a "sob story" and I want to avoid that.</p>
<h1>2: Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?</h1>
<p>Possible answer:
1. When I was younger I used to wrestle but I haven't done it for a while. There was a specific time where I nearly won first place at a tournament but lost at the last minute. It could be a good story but, then again, I have nothing to do with wrestling any longer and I think that could make it disconnected from myself in some way (not that I'm sure of that).</p>
<h1>3: Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?</h1>
<p>Possible answer:
1. The only thing I can think about for this one would be something that has to do with religion or politics, both things that could offend an admissions advisor. I think I really want to stay away from this one.</p>
<h1>4: Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?</h1>
<p>Possible answer:
1. There's this abandoned church that a friend and I used to go to every now and then, but we never exactly did anything meaningful (or, most of the time, completely legal). So...yeah...probably not this one.</p>
<h1>5: Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.</h1>
<p>Possible answer:
1. I really can't think of anything for this one.</p>
<p>So, yeah. If someone could help me make a decision on which of these might be the best for me in terms of what admission advisors typically like to see, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!</p>
