Hi, I am having a bit of trouble thinking of a topic for the "challenge" essay and wanted to hear some thought on ideas I'm considering. Thanks!

1. Can talk about how I grew up relatively reserved and shy (perhaps stemming from moving to a new school and difficulty making new friends) and how I overcame this as I entered college (eg. gaining more self confidence, putting myself in social situations)

2. Having to deal with a major difference of opinion between board member for the club im president of or adjusting to changes in administrative rules that affect our club volunteer programming

3. Having a paper I second authored rejected from a couple journals and how I coped and grew from that.
