<p>I am struggling to write an essay in response to these two prompts:</p>
<p>A Penn education provides a liberal arts and sciences foundation across multiple disciplines with a practical emphasis in one of four undergraduate schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Nursing, or the Wharton School.</p>
<p>Given the undergraduate school to which you are applying, please discuss how you will engage academically at Penn. (Please answer in 300 words or less.)</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Ben Franklin once said, ‘All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.’</p>
<p>For the second prompt i wrote about how i am immovable in morals and ethics and wrote an analogy for it. Did same for the movable and move part.</p>
<p>If I where you for the second prompt I’d say that you move self willingly through your motivational drive and write about what motivates you (I’d write about wanting to beat your competition and rise to be the best upon others) and the things that you strive for in life and how you willingly move to achieve them. Spend about four hundred words on this part.</p>
<p>Spend about another one hundred words writing about how you are immovable when it comes to ethics and what you think is right and how you fight to do the right thing.</p>
<p>That’s just something that I’d write about. I’m only a sophomore in High School but I tend to get a lot of recognition when it comes to writing and especially when it comes to essay’s in which you have to take a stance.</p>
<p>For the first part write about how you thrive for achievement and success and how you are always thriving to do your best. Write about your experiences in these fields and how you would contribute to the school in which you applied to.</p>
<p>For the 2nd essay? Aren’t you supposed to choose whether you are immovable or movable? I wrote my essay on how I am mainly movable and gave examples. Why is everyone combining immovable and movable together?</p>
<p>‘All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.’
Its a prompt about symbolism. I would think it would have to do with something like ignorance and those who are able to deal with change. I would write about racism or something. That would be an embodiment of those who are immovable. It could also be written about the scientific field in which new data disproves ideas which have been immovable for decades.</p>
<p>Forgive me for asking again (I just need a clarification) - but we are asked to choose just ONE of the categories, right?</p>
<p>This essay scares the hell out of me. When I see the Ben Franklin prompt, I immediately thought of all the applicants who saved gorillas in Africa and had a gazillion volunteer hours - and how I am not one of them. My topic is so simple…</p>
<p>I wrote my forst essay on how i would study my passions and am completely stumped for the second one.
