I really need help. I have this essay to write for my college application and I really don't know how to get started. This is the topic:

"Personal Essay Topic:
How will your individual background, experiences and personal identity influence your educational pursuits and your contributions to the campus community at the University of Florida?

You may wish to reflect on the following:
· Significant life challenges or personal circumstances
· Exceptional talents and outstanding achievements, awards and recognitions
· Educational aspirations
· Personal and/or family responsibilities"


Any help would be appreciated.

The colleges only want the best to represent them, but they're egotistical as well. I'm filling out applications this week now, so maybe I'll be back to post some of my rediculous essays!

They seem to like the personal angle, then.

Actually, a sappy essay that shows you've grown into a conscious adult- might be in order.

Well, I havent actually started with some yet, but over the next few week or so I'll be starting, which is what I meant to say.

I'd give him tips if I could, though I'm sure I'll need just as many.
