Undergraduate / "College search as a special interest, experience" - TULANE UNIVERSITY ESSAY [5]

Okay, so i am filling out the application and the prompt is as follows:
"Using the space below, please write between 250 and 500 words to describe a special interest, significant experience or achievement, or anything else that has special meaning to you or had a significant influence on you."

I have started to write the essay but i am stuck. I don't know where i should go from here or if i should just scrap the entire thing and start over. HELP!

here's what i have:
A special experience that has had a significant influence on me is this: the college search. By applying to prestigious universities and digging up information about my past, I have learned a great deal about myself. I think that is the whole point of this process. Writing personal statements and essays about my talents, traits, and experiences has forced me to think about the kind of person I am, as well as the type of person I want to become.

Undergraduate / Personal statement from sophomore in high school - small town (Vallejo) [3]

-How it was hard growing-up and watching my parents fight mentally emotionally and physically
-how there divorce was hard on both me and my brother but i had to hold all my pain in, because i had to be the shoulder my brother cried on

-how my parents are still fighting over who gets the kids in the divorce

These three are definitely strong, and you can tie all three in together! I think this would be a great essay if you used descriptive language and set the scene right off the bat instead of following the usual format and repeating the question.

Good luck!!
