What are you supposed to focus on in "10 years after graduation" essays?

The prompt is "Imagine you have graduated from Temple University. You are preparing to attend your 10-year reunion, and the alumni office has asked you to write a one-page essay about your personal and professional accomplishments since graduation. What would yours say?"

At first, I took the prompt very literally. I was very specific. I toned it down but I still described exact things I want to have done, places to have visit and potential jobs, and even an ideal description on how I want my future house to look. It was very ambitious and specific. But people at CollegeConfidential told me setting a predetermined path might not be a good approach for this essay.

So I made another one where I tried to be broad and vague. Focused on how I grew up as a person, the set of skills I have achieved, and the relevance of my college years to it.

Which approach do you think is better for this one? Should I lose the specific too-ambitious tone?

Hello,

You should just talk about the various aspects of your life that you consider successful and how your TU education was useful in getting you to that point. For example, if you were promoted to Vice President of a company, talk about how a management course provided you with the training to be an effective manager. -Admissions Advice Online
