I know that it’s the writing that matters, but I want to choose a topic that is interesting and isn’t overdone. One option is writing about how I balanced schoolwork with helping my mom with my younger siblings and the newborn baby (born the day before the start of junior year), which was like a part-time job. I often wouldn’t get started on homework until about 10 o’clock, and I was (still am) like their second mom.
Another topic I was thinking about was when I moved to the U.S. from Germany when I was 8. I spoke no English and couldn’t understand anything in class and I was incredibly frustrated, but I dedicated myself to learning English and became fluent after a few months.
Again, I know it’s the writing that matters, but I want an interesting topic. If anyone has any good advice I would really appreciate it!
