Essay Topic Help for UGA Honors Program

<p>I’m applying to the UGA Honors Program and one of the essay topics is "Who is the most important person to live in the 19th or 20th century? Why?</p>

<p>I’m just wondering what it is that they’re exactly looking for in the essay. I’ve never come across an essay topic like this before so thats why I’m looking for a little help. I don’t know wheter I should use a well known person and try and come up with a unique as to why they’re the most important or whether I should use lesser known person or what.</p>

<p>Please post a response, any help is good help or even help on the person I should choose would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Who do you truly believe is the most important person and why? Write for ten minutes without research or help on this topic. It will help give you direction.</p>

<p>Think of a movement, event, invention, whatever that you think is important or that has affected your life in some way and write about a person associated with that event. That might help…</p>
