<p>So I’m writing the common app essay but I don’t know which category my essay would go under. </p>
<p>Can anyone help me decide where this essay best fits?</p>
<p>Here’s a brief description of my essay. </p>
<p>I traveled back home over this summer, and I realized that during my stay I became lonely and I began to think about my childhood best friend who I hadn’t seen or spoke to in 10 years. I began to miss my him more and more. I began to feel regret, and I began to realize how this friendship and the way it ended impacted all the other friendships I had. I moved to another country and without telling him, and he apparently called my grandpa 3 times and neither times did I call him back.
(yes i know. It was horrible of me)</p>
<p>So would this fit under: </p>
<p>Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.</p>
<p>Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence. </p>
<p>A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. </p>
<p>Topic of your choice.</p>
