[quote=Anonymous]Essay was a huge challenge for my kid, who can be very creative, but looonnnggg. Whittling down an idea to fit was hard. Ended up sharing a specific story from elementary school for "Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea." Framed it from the point of view of a question from a peer that made DC change their mind about something, which led to something else. Not Earth shattering, but actually pretty entertaining and interesting to read. I think kids sometimes twist themselves up over trying to craft an over-the-top, most amazing essay from the most unique point of view. Unless you are trying for T10, just go for something well written, unique, and interesting.[/quote]
