[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have what I would consider a family mantra and DD used it in her essay. We did not have a college counselor to tell her no. I thought it did a good job on tying all her activities and interests together and what she wanted to do in college. Currently at a t10. [b]I would guess it's all how you use it in the essay[/b][/quote] Or what the mantra is. “Never give up, never give in” = boring. “When in doubt, wear a clown nose” = heck, if you can write well, could be unique and attention-grabbing! OP, it’s not passe. The counselor said it wasn’t captivating, ie, your family mantra isn’t that interesting as a foundation for an essay. [/quote]
