[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is not there yet, but is starting to think about the college application process. She came to me and asked me how she, growing up in a stable, UMC household, with not really any challenges in her life, would find a topic for her college essay. Friends seem mostly be leaning into catastrophic events in their lives - divorce, illness/death of a parent, that sort of thing. I don't really have an answer to that, other than telling her that colleges are looking for information about who she is as a person, something not revealed by her transcript, scores, awards, etc. Sort of a 'What distinguishes you from everyone else?' Is that the right advice? If not, what is?
