Hi all,
I am trying to write my secondary essays for those questions that ask for your greatest personal accomplishment or your greatest personal challenge, which I think can probably be derived from the same experience. The problem is, I can't decide what to use.
I am not sure just how personal to get, and if there is something that can be taken the wrong way. Should I steer clear of anything that might make myself or my family look less than perfect ? I mean, I would like to be able to show my humanity but at the same time don't want to tell adcoms too much! Sorry, it might be hard to answer given that I don't really want to spill my life story on this thread, but I was hoping to get some feedback!
Other than these issues that I am thinking about, I don't feel like I have much to write about except some sort of generic, work was hard, but i got through it sort of essay. It is safe, but probably boring!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
