[quote=Anonymous]This is such a weird thread. it is NORMAL for kids senior year to be taking a lot of hard classes and having a lot of homework; and it is also normal for them to be playing sports, volunteering, and being involved in other extracurricular activities. The reason those activities are such trite essay topics is that many kids do them. That's because it is NORMAL. Being cut from the team, finding Jesus, working hard to master a skill -- these are all trite topics and have been overdone but they aren't trite to the kids who have experienced them for the first time. If you ask kids to write about something that affected them, you are going to get a lot of these experienced because they happen to so many people. IMO there is now an escalating race to make your college essay amazing, on top of all the other things kids need to do. [/quote]
