Meeting with a Great Leader of the past

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am doing a scholarship and I encountered a pretty difficult question.
“Imagine you have the opportunity to meet with one great leader from the past. Describe your meeting and the issues you would discuss with that person.”</p>

<p>I am considering Mother Teresa or Mohandas Ghandi.
Do you think those leaders are too “trite”–or will it be okay as long as I make it my own.</p>

<p>Looking for comments,
Many thanks</p>

<p>IMO lots of people probably would pick the ones you chose, and the scholarship committee will get bored reading so many essays that are similar. Pick someone different, and eloquently make your case for why you picked that person. Keep in mind that the scholarship committee is trying to learn about your character, so write in a way that illustrates your values. The committee doesn’t need a history report.
Good luck!</p>
