I’m going to be a high school senior in the fall and want to start working on my college admission essays during the summer. I really want to go to the University of Florida, so I really want to write a good essay, but I’m not too fond of the topic. Here it is:
In the space provided, please write a concise narrative in which you describe a meaningful event, experience or accomplishment in your life and how it will affect your college experience or your contribution to the UF campus community. You may want to reflect on your ideas about student responsibility, academic integrity, campus citizenship or a call to service.

I thought maybe I could write about how our failures shape us into better adults than our accomplishments, an example being how I didn’t get cheerleading captain and how it motivated me to want to be a better leader in all aspects of my life. Help???
