Essay Topic

I am definitely writing my Common App essay using the first prompt. It is going to be about being a friendly and optimistic person while living in New York City. Should I choose one of these two options or write both and get my guidance counselor’s opinion on which one to fix up?

  1. Going to a Catholic youth conference in the Midwest and meeting people similar to me; being able to really embrace my true personality
  2. Starting a gardening job and working with two cold,sheltered guys but being able to help them open up, especially since all three of us had little experience
    Sorry for being so informal! I’m just in a pinch right now and eager to start my essay. Thank you!
