I’m writing my common app essay right now, but I got stuck. My topic is coming out as gay to my mom, and how I changed/grew after this experience. I’m feeling a little bit confused, however, because I’ve realized that this topic is extremely overused. I’m worried that I’ll just blend into all of the other gay kids and it won’t help me at all. Should I try to come up with a new topic, or do you think it’s a good topic as long as I write it well?
