lola....be careful with that. honestly, i wouldn't write about it because i don't want them thinking about me in more than a professional (ethics) sort of light. i think if you can write it maturely, that's great (though i can't come up with any ways to do that with a romantic situation...it's hard to coldly analyze something like that) and definitely go for it! also, what lessons did you learn? if those lessons can be extended in some capacity (not necessarily one you write down, but one that can be extracted from the essay) into your future professional life, then i would say it's a great topic. try it out and if it doesn't sound like something you want to send out, go back to the drawing board...sometimes that's faster than just brain-storming endlessly. that's how i finally got that thing sent out...though the diversity question stumped me more!!
the boy wonder- what did you write about?
