<p>if youre telling red lies - like you won X reward, you’re going to need a lot of luck to not be found out. 1. They can ask your guiddance counselors. 2. they can google you. 3. (lets say you claim to be writing a novel, managing stocks, playing 5 musical instruments) they can ask for samples of your art/work, or ask for you to further talk about it. 4. if youre writing about your brother who has cancer, and your brother is perfectly healthy, then you have no idea whatsoever what it is like to have a brother with cancer, so your essay will just sound phoney. </p>
<p>Interviews: they will ask about the essay, you better be a good speaker/liar. If you cant maintain eye contact while speaking your essay out to someone, thats not good. </p>
<p>White lies are fine. You can write about something that never happened, but is symbolic of something that did happen in your life.</p>
