@@gretae3060 i got into Penn State, and the reason college was spelled wrong was because I was using the microphone thing

I wrote about how I was going through a lot of bad stuff mentally while in 10 grade. I didn’t really know who I was as a person or personality wise. Then I got an opportunity to backpack across Europe when I was 16 years old for 2 months. I walked 500 miles across Spain. I learned to love myself and become impressed with myself on that trip. I then did online school my junior year and got straight As while doing it. Didn’t get me into Texas but oh well couldn’t afford it anyway lol

That sounds like such a fun and fruitful experience! I wish I would have gotten to do something like that, at 16 I didn't get any time to think about who I am as a person, all time was poured in academics. I'm going to college in a few months, I hope I get to explore myself then :)

There’s multiple things you could talk about. While I’m Hispanic, there’s multiple things I could write about (and I have). My hobbies, family members who’ve impacted my life. Etc. You just have to be good with twisting something to stand out. I talked about being resilient during Junior year and how it reminded me of an animal that evolved for the sole basis of survival in a place where others couldn’t.

Another essay I wrote was about how I was sexually harassed which made me want to advocate for people full time. What you just explained can definitely be twisted into an interesting story, you just need to thoroughly connect those points of the essay to your life. I believe in you and good luck on essays:)

I wrote mine on deciding to wear my glasses instead of just kind of being able to see stuff. I got into every college I applied to, though I didn’t apply to any ivy leagues. Being normal is fine, you just have to talk about finding identity and community if you haven’t overcome a big struggle (but you can also talk about little struggles).
