College Essays

Yes, it's that time of my life. I need to come up with an essay topic for my college applications. Here are the choices:

1. Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, a risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
2. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
3. Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
4. Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.
5. A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that illustrated the importance of diversity to you.
6. Topic of your choice.

So, to begin my essay process, I thought that I would make a list of potential topics under each topic and leave them to your criticism. I may add to this list later.

1. Speaking out for my faith in Spanish class
Initiating a petition for the eighth grade day/dance
2.
3. Kim and her influence on living my faith outwardly
4. Jane Eyre (book or character)
Left Behind series
5.
6. Favorite meal--tomato soup and grilled cheese tied in to family reunions
My love for sunrises--description of beauty outside tied in with breakfast and my family

I'll post more when I'm not so exhausted after Spring Break.
