Essay, Essay, Essay

I haven't started my essay yet but have thought of two topics that I could use...so any advice to the following?

-Being an only child --- how it made me the independent person I am

-A teacher I had during my sophomore year who bruised my ego and the long term effect that came with it

It's still in the air so I'd like to hear a couple opinions. Thanks in advanced!

*Edit: BTW, it's an open topic essay.

the teacher did affect my life. throughout my life school was always easy, i got by with A's up until i had her for my first honors class. i got a C and from there on, a lot of my other grades suffered. idk, seems rather dumb?

no, not dumb at all. it could be a good essay depending on how you approach it.
first C...how you felt, how it changed your outlook, etc...

Choose the topic that best allows you to write a personal, detailed, honest, revealing, and bottom-line positive essay.
