Which Essay Should I Use?

1. ND prompt: what is your passion?
- field hockey, how it has changed me as a person, it sounds boring but I talk about how specifically it made me who i am today

- my ED, and going through recovery.
first paragraph: about a time where i was out to dinner with my friends and ordered a salad and counted all the calories they were eating, and described my mindset THEN
last paragraph: how I was out for ice cream with my friends and reflected on how much stronger I've become and then dig into a huge sundae haha.
(true story)

- band, how everyone makes fun of me and i've BEEN TO band camp. but I LOVE it so much, and how it's changed me etc. etc.

- giving a tour my messy room. and then explaining how my room defines who I am? it sounds weird, but it kind of works. rough draft

opinions please!!

follow your heart (I know that sounds way too dorky). What are you MOST passionate about? I wouldn't write about the ED, because it's not a passion per se

The first and third imo sound like they have the most potential of the four listed to allow you to write a personal, detailed, honest and revealing essay.
