There's about 6-8 essays total, I've done 4.
1 is about what you lose track of time doing, I wrote about how I'm creative with my hands with things such as welding and leatherwork.
2 is about a significant need you have met, I wrote about my father being diagnosed with cancer during COVID, what we all had to do, what I've learned, things like that.
3 is a brief description of a time my efforts fell short, I explained how last year I wasn't doing so great in Calculus.
4 is a continuation of 3, asking about how I overcame/bounced back from this failure. Talked about how I focused up at the end of the year and passed the AP test, as well as got A's every quarter. What I learned from it, etc.
Cliche? Different topics maybe? I still have to write 5 (tell us your story) and 6 (why I want to be in a school that is spiritually strengthening), so if you have any general tips on 5 especially I'd love that.
