[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about experiences while volunteering?[/quote] No, too common. [/quote] I think it really depends on whether the kid can come up with an interesting angle. Sure, the "I went to Nicaragua last summer and fed poor children and it changed my life" essay has been done to death, but there are other ways to talk about what this experience meant to you. Maybe you had to do something outside of your comfort zone? Maybe you changed your mind about a long-held opinion? There is room to make the topic interesting and not just trite.[/quote]
