<p>Here’s how my current Common App essay begins:</p>
<p>"I am not a poster boy for passion.</p>
<p>If education is the restaurant of life, I am the man who samples everything. To dedicate myself to a single soup seems a little ludicrous to me. Certainly, I respect that kind of passion and dedication - it is a noble pursuit, but I am not noble. I have a weakness for knowledge, a lust for life."</p>
