Oh no, thank you! Sorry, this is my first post on here. Is there a way to delete it or should I repost on the pre-med forum? Sorry!

Keep it. They'll redirect it automatically because purposeful cross-posting isn't allowed. Best of luck. To start you off:

I like #3 the best. It's not super unique but it's something different as numbers #1, 2, and 4 are kind of all along the same theme as what's already reflected in your PS. #5 is not really a challenge in my mind.

I'd rather read about something that happened after you turned 18 than something in HS or earlier.

Working as a waitress and as an aide during the pandemic must have created some challenges. Were you concerned about contagion? Were you dealing with people (coworkers, members of the public) who were frightened or hostile? Were you living with others? Did you have to deal with their concerns about your work? Were you worried about getting sick or bringing home the sickness to others? Everyone has their pandemic stories and I think knowing how you coped with that unusual time would be interesting to read.

What if it's an issue that first occurred as a teenager that continued to happen until adulthood that was a major struggle? Mine was basically going to be about my parents disapproval of my relationship which resulted in some pretty bad treatment towards me for a few years and had a big impact on my relationship with my parents for not terminating the relationship.

Your parents disapproval of a romantic relationship? Might be too much personal information.
