Can you guys give me ideas on how to write this?

So, I'm applying to this selective mentee program (Girls Write Now) and I have to write 3 essays. I have already written 2 and had them reviewed many (many) times but I am stuck on the last one. Can you guys pitch me ideas on what to do? Thanks!!

Edit: I’ve already talked about how I started writing and what influenced me. I’ve also already talked about the program.

Here is the prompt: It’s lovely to meet you, tell us about yourself! What makes you…YOU? (Feel free to brag about your creative work, how you spend your free time, shine a light on your personality, etc.)

I would start with how you discovered your interest in writing; explain what literature or family/friends influenced the beginning of it. After that, you could talk about what struggles you've experienced and how they shaped your writing. Lastly, you could talk about what kept you writing and use this as an excuse to brag about your works (e.g. you've since constructed a collection of works including blank, blank, and blank).

I would recommend talking about your family life if you are comfortable with that since they may have helped shape, influence and support you in growing up and that can help explain what makes you, you.
