[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a junior and I guess has some hooks. URM, plays high level club soccer. Captain for 3 years. But she just tore her ACL so she will not be a recruited athlete. She wants to write her essay on finding her identity outside of soccer. Her friends think this is overdone and “cringey”, but she is pretty passionate about it. What do you think? Should I try to change her mind? [/quote] She's passionate about working on something that will help her self-reflect and overcome adversity. Why on earth would you try to change her mind? Application readers are pretty good at spotting parent- or paid coach-directed essays. We know that most kids have not dealt with major life-or-death circumstances or had to swim across a crocodile-filled swap to escape oppression or cured cancer. [/quote]
