Think about a great adventure or experience that you had. Talk about the impact of that experience and how it has altered your sense of being or your opinion or your ideas about certain things. That is what this assignment is about.

First of all hopping on a plane to China doesn’t define a person. Neither does showing up at a soup kitchen.

An “about me” essay is about what’s in your heart and mind. It’s not about trips that daddy paid for.

Here’s an experiment to find out “who you are”. Suppose find a suitcase filled with $1,000. A note inside says, “This magical money is yours to keep, but in one week, it will vanish. Use it or lose it.”

What will you do?

If you can’t think of anything interesting to write, why don’t you brainstorm about it? Think of something that seems ordinary to you, but probably outlandish to others. Ask others for their opinion if you want.

I’m not in the position to give you specific ideas…but how about your personal thoughts on some things? Personal experiences that you feel have been very crucial in defining who you are?

It’s a hard thing to do. Trust me, I’ve done that just recently. But you’ll realize later on, that yeah, you are interesting! Hahaha 😀

Good luck 😀
