<p>I want to write about A volunteer work project, in which there were a lot of flaws, and learning to let go of idealism and accept that not all things are perfect. </p>
<p>Is this cliche? How do I make it uncliche?</p>
<p>just because a kind of topic might be used frequently, that doesn't mean it's a cliche subject. if a topic is honestly important to you, and you can elaborate upon it in a manner that reveals the best aspects of your personality, then you should use it.</p>
