the prompt is this:
Choose an issue of importance to you-the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope-and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.
so far, I have written this:
It's all about perspective
-It all started with one simple pluck of my mom's tweezers as I stared into a highly magnified mirror. "Wow," I thought, "One hair gone has simply lightened my whole eye area up! One more hair gone will make me look even better!" As I continued to hack away at my luscious eyebrows, I started to feel older, wiser, even prettier! After twenty minutes or so, I put down the tired tweezers and flipped the mirror to the side with normal magnification. The girl I saw staring back at me was not older, not wiser, and definitely not prettier. In fact, I looked horrendous! My eyes were puffy and red, with a shaky line of hairs shadowing where my eye brows once were. In my highly magnified view of my eye brows, I had seen little hairs and imperfections that I normally would never have seen otherwise and in turn, I had annihilated them. What I learned that fateful day in seventh grade was more than just how not to pluck my eye brows; it was a lesson on how to look at life, namely, in the big picture. When one starts picking apart miniscule details, they often neglect to remember the bigger picture, as I did.-
