| In denial...this is the making of a great college essay. you can use your essay to talk about temptation and personal growth and what you learned about yourself. A lot of college admissions officers whom I have talked to love the essay that follows the trajectory of "I f***ed up big time. Here's what I did. Here's what I learned." You can't sugar coat it and because you are starting with the premise of honesty they have no reason the mistrust the rest of your essay. |
