Okay I’m sorry, I understand what you are saying… Allow me to clarify my question to see which common app essay you guys think would be best. I’ve also narrowed my ideas a bit so ill share them all to see what you think. I apologize for my lack of depth in the original post so trust me that these are much better than my original post:

1.Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution: Getting locked out of the house without a cell phone while babysitting a one year old and steps to solve this and what i learned from it

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story: My interest and love for singing in the choir, how i get lost in the music, and how it effects me

2. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story: very similar to the last one, BUT, my interest and love for playing the piano, how i get lost in the music, and how it effects me and helps me

3. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story: my interest and love for creating things on the computer.. how I create small games and use websites to create animation videos and love all of that kind of stuff.. how that is how i know that I want to pursue a degree in computer science because I want to know the science behind all of it and how it works, and i want to have the tools and knowledge to create anything i want on computers

4. Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family: when my grandfather passed away when i was in the room with him, and how this had effected me and how I've handled this

5. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution: being bullied and talked down to and called stupid by some really bad friends that I have had, and how I solved it by pulling away from these friends and proving them wrong by doing well in school and pursuing higher education
