Emerson Transfer Essay! If you were to write a story of your life, what would you title it and why?

Hello! I'm looking for lots of feedback on this essay for my Emerson College transfer application. I'm not much of a writer, which I'm sure is apparent, so I'd like feedback, anything from grammar to content. Thank you!

Essay question: If you were to write a story about your life, what would you title it and why? (100-200 words)

Nobody Knows Who I Am, and Neither Do I! Since I was old enough to understand the simple phrase "just be yourself." I've been trying to answer the question; well who am I? I've been through an absurd amount of phases. From when I all but convinced myself that I could become a pro tennis player, to that regrettable year in middle school where I layered my jet black, box-dyed hair and wore a fake lip ring because that was the "real me" and no one was going to tell me otherwise. The truth is, I still struggle with answering that question and I probably will for a long time. Sure, I've had experiences that have ultimately shaped my personality, and I know what I want and who I don't aspire to be, but I'm not ready to boil my whole identity down to a single phrase just yet. When I figure it out, I'll be more than happy to scream it from the mountaintops, but until then I've got a lot of self-exploration to do.

I like your story, especially the part about middle school. But I don't think that saying you don't know who you are will help your chances of acceptance in any way.

Instead of talking about how you don't know who you are, think about this quote by Shaw: "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." You don't have to explain your entire existence in one phrase, but maybe talking about how you are still a work in progress might be better than saying you don't know who you are. Don't try to figure out who you are. Create yourself in the image of the person you want to be. Maybe talking about how you're trying to become your best self might be a better way of approaching this essay.

I'd be more than happy to edit/ proofread/ rewrite if you decide you want to stick with this version or go a different route.

Good luck!
