Filling out the common application for a California university and need input on the prompt.
The prompt is as follows:
Elanor Roosevelt once said " Do what you feel in your heart to be right for you will be criticized anyway." Describe a time when you went against the grain and why?
I was thinking about writing about my experience travelling alone to Central American and some African cities alone as a young female and my desire to not only travel for pleasure, but to experience ones culture.
Do you guys think this could be a good topic, is it too broad and do you have any advice on how to narrow this down to 250 words?
