College Discussion - View Single Post - Any opinions on this common app essay topic?

My High School doesn't offer any AP courses. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I sought permission to independently prepare for and take AP examinations in order to prepare for the rigor of college work. Over the past two years, I have taken AP US History and AP US Government, earning respective scores of 4 and 5. Now, because of this, other students have begun to take the exams as well, and the school system is considering offering AP Courses.

Does this make for a fairly unique essay topic, or this more common/boring than I think? Any feedback or ideas?
