Undergraduate / "I have no clue who I am" - Admission Essay Topic of Choice [6]

I have no clue who I am. Should be changed to (I don't have a clue who I am )

I am not sure what the last sentence in the first paragraph means. You don't have a favorite book? or you don't like to read? I would explain that a little more clearly.

Overall it is a good essay, I like the little humor you have included.

I believe there are many facets that shape your life. For instance the people you are exposed to, challenges you experience or roadblocks you may have to overcome, all have an effect on who you are. While I have had many challenges and roadblocks there is one particular event that has made a great impact on my life. It was the summer of my sophmore year; my dad took me on a hike.
