Take a huge step back and realize what this essay is. It’s not “True confessions” or “Dear Diary.” It’s not “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Nope. It’s “Give us a reason to say yes to your application” combined with “Why would you make a good addition to our campus?” It’s a sales job.
I suggest you not talk about your parents or your friends or your major. Find a slice of life type of topic that tells something about you- some small incident that helped you grow into the wonderful person your parents and friends adore. Some comment someone made that really helped you grow up or walk in the shoes of another.
