I hate this part of college applications. I am great at math. I am a great technical writer. Am i able to write a compelling personal essay? No. Shouldn't hold me back.

I’ve never been the star. Not on the court, not in the classroom, not even in my friend group. I’m the sixth man—the one who doesn’t start the game but changes it.
is this a good hook

I wanna talk about trying to fit in after moving schools and then how I grew and realized that I don’t need to change how I am. Is this too basic?
