<p>I am a graduated senior, and I will be applying to college during my gap year this fall and winter. I wrote an essay last year when I was applying to colleges (it was for the Yale supplement) that I would love to edit and adapt to be my main personal statement (I am not applying to Yale again, and I did not use this essay for any other colleges). It does, however, talk about an experience in my junior year, which will be two years gone by the time I apply. Is this subject from too long ago, even if I explain how it had a lasting impact on me?</p>
<p>[If this matters: I stage managed my high school's theatre productions, and the essay is about the first time I went onstage to give my pre-show announcement "turn off cell phones, emergency exits are behind you, etc." and how nervous I was, and how it influenced my risk-taking in future escapades. I plan on potentially having one of my two majors in college be theatre, and I will be submitting a technical portfolio via Slideroom.]</p>
<p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>
