<p>For the “What matters to you and why?” essay question, I have a topic idea: Laughter and how amazing of an activity it is, how it brings my family together, etc. </p>
<p>Is that not a “serious” enough topic?</p>
<p>If that’s what matters to you, then yes.</p>
<p>Are you saying “yes, it’s not serious or enough” or “yes, if that’s what matters to you, then use it”? Haha.</p>
<p>The latter.</p>
<p>My thing that mattered to me wasn’t very serious, but I showed exactly why it mattered, and I’m happy with the outcome.</p>
<p>I think laughter as a topic can make an amazing essay</p>
<p>Thanks for all the input. With all this assurance, I’m definitely gonna try laughter as my topic.</p>
<p>Why are a few of you thinking that this essay needs to be serious? I’ve written a few times about these supplemental questions but not on this thread so here goes again. YOU MUST ANSWER HONESTLY!!! DON’T try to impress the admission officers with “serious” topics, they know the difference. These questions are meant to get to know you better. Thats how they can determine if you are a good fit for the school. </p>
<p>If everyone answers this question based on what they ‘think’ the admission officer wants to hear, then there will be lots of similiar answers and no one will stick out of the crowd. You need to be different to become visible. How do you be different? By being YOURSELF!!!</p>
<p>So Sebo93 you are doing the right thing…Because ‘laughter’ will be unique to you and your family. No one else will have that.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
