<p>Ok so here is my dilemma, i need to write a personal essay for college applications and i can't do it. I am afraid it will sound like i am bragging and bragging is my pet peeve so i don't want to do it. My dear mother tells me that i am supposed to brag when writing these essays but i just can't bring my self to do it. </p>
<p>Please give me ways to achieve this important step in my college applications by giving ideas on how to write these essays without bragging. :)</p>
