Write from your heart. It can be hard starting an essay, what I did was free write. I didn’t worry about paragraphs, grammar, or punctuation. Once your done free writing you can go back and edit it. Get help from someone at school as well. It’s not “too ordinary” because it’s your experience not anyone else’s.

I think that this would be a great topic! My advice for anyone would be to take the topic you are writing about and make it original to you. No matter what you're writing about, you should write it in a sense that no one else could be able to quite match. I hope that this helps, good luck with your essay! :)

I don't think it will be too common of a topic. I think it would be really interesting to read about your journey. Just make sure you focus on your journey and how you changed. Make sure you use specific examples in your essay (which will help it become more unique). Good luck!!!
