<p>ive written three, and thrown them all away. i am just mentally blocked from writing anything effective in this essay</p>
<p>does anyone, anywhere, have any words of wisdow for this essay???</p>
<p>i need some help big-time!</p>
<p>Umm… I’ll just say that I went through a couple of “Germany” essays which just didn’t work, so I dug up an old essay about working on guitars that i wrote for a writing class in my high school, and fixed that up and sent that in.</p>
<p>Sometimes just completely changing the perspective can work. If you’re really set on writing about the environment, maybe write about a different part of your experiance, and that might work better.</p>
<p>I haven’t read your essay, so this next bit may not apply…</p>
<p>Starting with an antecdote (sp?) is a good way to get a flow going and also to not seem like a boring list of ideas. I wrote about a mistake i made and how I eventually went about fixing it, and fit in details as background. they were all there, but the main theme was the story which kept it interesting. </p>
<p>i think the admissions people would rather read a story than a list of, “I’m so great, i did this, and this, and this, and this…”</p>
<p>no idea i am last minute as well</p>
<p>by the way, i’m an idiot- i though you meant a common app essay about the environment.</p>
<p>still…</p>
