<p>Hello! I am finally completing my essay; I am applying to new college of florida, brown, and a few more liberal arts colleges…</p>

<p>which subject would be the best topic for my main essay?</p>

<p>(in no particular order)

  1. having a hurricane destroy our house; how it has affected me
  2. being a life-long resident of a trailer park; dealing with low income; challenges
  3. getting the lead role of a play last year, with no prior experience; how it has helped me grow as a person
  4. being a twin, benefits; how it has affected me
  5. being home-schooled along with my sister during my elementary school years
  6. my concern about the arts being removed from school
  7. students in america having a remedial curriculum when attending the public school system (may combine this with subject 5)</p>

<p>which one is the most interesting-at-first-glance to you? i would love to hear any opinions and/or suggestions! :D</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

2

<p>I probably wouldn’t do 4, 5, 6, or 7 because with those, you run the risk of the essay not focusing enough on you and who you are as an individual. Just my two cents</p>

3

<p>Go 2. It’s more personal and some of the other topics are general that others could write about.</p>

4

<p>To be honest, it’s hard to decide without seeing how you would approach the essay. The most interesting one at a glance for me is number 4, especially if you approached it with some humor. If you’re going for something more serious, number 2 could be very interesting. Numbers 1, 3, and 6 have potential to be good, but those run the highest risk of sounding cliche. </p>

<p>Just my opinion, though. I’m really interested to hear what others think. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Not 6 or 7. Wrong place, wrong time. Number 2 looks interesting, if done with humor and no hint of a derogatory attitude.</p>

6

<p>2 is the most interesting to me as well. Reveals more about your sense of your world compared to others and how it has influenced you.</p>

7

<p>^agreed, number 2 is the best and has the greatest reward factor. But many essays have great topics and ideas, but only a small amount of those essays live up to their potential. If you choose 2, don’t forget how to explain how it affected you/made you who you are too.</p>

8

<p>number 2 sounds interesting to me. Being a twin myself, I discovered that the “twin essays” are more common than people think, so I removed that from my essay topic candidates recently. However, the most important thing is how you write the essays, not the topics. So its all up to you!</p>

9

<p>3 … it’s exclusively about you, and your potential.</p>

10

<p>Your essay’s success will be in its execution, not the topic.</p>

<p>That being said, I’ll jump on the bandwagon and suggest that two stands out to me as having the most potential.</p>

11

<p>Do a rough draft of your favorites, and see which ones you like the most.</p>

12

<p>I’d say any of 1, 2, or 3 are golden if you execute well.</p>

13

<p>first - 1
second - 2 (topic is too general and wide open, you can write about lots of stuff, but most likely you will have a hard time to focus)
third - 4 (go with humors on this one)</p>

<p>other than these, the rest just isnt essay material topics…</p>

<p>well, actually option 3 is a great essay material topic, but they would be overly used and major boredom.</p>
