Williams supplemental essay

Any ideas on what would make a good essay?

Imagine looking through a window at any environment that is particularly significant to you. Reflect on the scene, paying close attention to the relation between what you are seeing and why it is meaningful to you. Please limit your statement to 300 words.

Something original... ie something you wouldn't be able to get from someone on some forum?

By environment do they mean outdoors? If so, what comes to mind for me is a camping trip, family barbecue, your first sleepover in your backyard, nightswimming, walking on the beach with a loved one, looking at worms with your little brother when you were younger, climbing your first tree, being on a tire swing. Basically just memories outdoors.

Not necessarily outdoors ... it's more of an open-ended question.
