What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experiences you have in the field - such as volunteer work, internships, and employment, participation in student organizations and activities- and what you have gained from your involvement.

> Would it be better if I start the essay " My intended major is ...."?
or should I start with a story that I'm going to write and address my major in the middle or end?

Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution, or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are.

I have two experiences to write about in mind and don't know which to choose.

One is about my life after I came to US two years ago ( how challenging it was in the beginning and how I handle the situation ),

and second one is about my 3 year of volunteering ( I worked with physically and mentally handicapped children. I can write about what I learned from it ) experience in high school.

Which one would be more appropriate for the promt? Which one is going to show more who I am?

Good evening :)

I think that answering an essay prompt with a complete sentence to begin with is always a good idea.

As to which topic to choose, which story do you think exhibits and describes the experience that is more important to you? Which one will better describe what about it makes you proud and relates to who you are? The one that answers these questions best should be your choice.
