Essay Topics

Common App Essay

I wrote my essay about how my great grandma used to call me hard headed because I couldn't follow directions when I was little, and used it to show my persistence in caring for my lavender plants, and my hardworking attitude in general. I also showcased how my love for gardening is connected to my grandmother, despite always killing my own plants.
