<p>@ clinegirl- I definitely don’t think that topic is overused, just make sure to add a lot of personal touch and detail! And, really highlight your feelings and perseverence, too!</p>
<p>Oh, whenever I read somebody about how their pet goldfish died and how he left his mark on the world, I have to laugh. Pets do not make good essay topics xD. </p>
<p>Thanks for all the posts guys!</p>
