FAQ

How personal should I get when writing about my immigrant background?
Be honest and specific, but focus on experiences that highlight growth, resilience, and your future goals. Avoid oversharing details that don't serve your narrative.
What if my achievements seem small compared to others?
Focus on context and impact. Overcoming language barriers, supporting your family, or adapting to a new culture are significant achievements when explained with detail and reflection.
How do I avoid clichés in my essay?
Open with a concrete moment, use specific examples, and reflect on why your experiences matter. Avoid generic statements about passion or hard work without evidence.
