What do you experience there and why is it meaningful to you?
- This portion of the essay prompt clearly indicates that the place must be somewhere that you frequent and continuously feel the sense of contentment in. The Special Olympics is a one time event and although I can understand your feelings, I do not believe it accurately answers the prompt. The place has to be somewhere that you are hihgly familiar with, do something regularly in, or just simply, like being there. Places like your house, your bedroom, the park, the coffee shop, library, amusement park, video arcade, your grandparents place, are some areas I can suggest for your consideration.
The place you choose has to relate to the way that you are able to reflect upon life and its complications. Somewhere you can clear your thoughts and just relax, without worries or stress. You can just bask in the place and feel content with everything going around you. Surely there is a place in your life where you often feel this way. It could even be something as abstract as the loving embrace of a person or the smile of friend.
While the Special Olympics is a good occasion to choose, it does not carry the kind of emotional connection that this kind of statement requires. I am suggesting that you reconsider the paper and try to find another place to use for the paper. It will be very good for your application if you do so.
