I wrote about growing up bald and almost dying three times before I had my drivers license, started my essay with “all my life I’ve considered my spiritual animal to be a dog, happy, kind and carefree. But as the years passed by, I realized I’m more closely related to a cat. As before the age of 16, I used up three of my nine lives.”

Hailey :
Before the famous “I hate the letter S” essay, I wrote about hating the question “how many siblings do you have?” Bc I can always predict how the conversation will go and the internal turmoil of pretending my dead brother doesn’t exist or not. And if I say 2 and they ask how old are they do I say he’s 17 (at the time of writing) or 4 when he died. If I then have to say he’s dead ppl look at me like I’m the one made everything awkward when they are the ones that started the conversation in the first place.

the prompt is the “describe a bit abt your background and tell us how your world has shaped your goals and aspirations” my hook is smth like “My world taught me that law and politics are lived before they're studied.
My first legal lawsuit occurred when I was five years old” then it’s “In kindergarten, after being bullied, I opened Microsoft Word and wrote what I called a “lawsuit” against my classmates. I did not understand law, but I already believed unfairness should have an answer.” chat did I cooked or get cooked 🥀 its a 1500 byte essay so thats the hook
