<p>I have two ideas.

  1. how i experienced racism as a child but now work to remove it from my community and promote diversity
  2. how i started a medical club at my high school and all the associated medical activities with my ambition of becoming a doctor</p>

<p>my common app essay is kind of about how I wasn’t accepted by others, so i wasn’t sure if I should repeat that theme with the racism one :S</p>

<p>Which one should I write about? </p>

<p>If you respond, I will respond to one of your posts too! :)</p>
