Is it appropriate to use this in an Essay, especially to justify your statement or belief? Last year, I used “Finis Origine Pendet” (the end depends upon the beginning) in my essay. I used it well to support my essay, and it went smoothly. Does it sound cheesy or anything, though? Do they get a million different kids each year who do this trying to get into the school.
