<p>My dream school is Berkeley, and I’ve been panicking over the “how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations” essay because I think my essay isn’t unique enough. Long story short, it’s about how good I felt when I helped others at a young age, and how I look to feel that same way again in the future by being helpful and influential. I read an article like this that said people who write about wanting to help are too common. Should I find something else to write about? Thanks!</p>
