advice
I'm writing a college essay on somebody "famous" that I feel to be Heroic. Out of curiosity, if you had to choose somebody to write about, who would you select?
I'm asking because I have chosen Helen Keller. She became an author, as well as a teacher to the deaf and blind, while overcoming those same disabilities. That is what I want to do with my life. I want to educate and assist the impaired, and I've known that since middle school. She is truly a hero in my eyes.
My worry is that Helen Keller will be such a popular choice. I'm scared that other students will be too lazy to search for a slightly less common name and just go with what they already know. I fear boring my teacher before she even commences the reading process. I know it's just one essay, but she is an inspiration of mine. I would be tremendously bummed if I had to write about someone else!!! Do you think my teacher will be bothered with the same old story, even if it were written immaculately? Do you feel it could possibly have a negative affect on my grade?
All input and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
I wouldnt have chosen Helen Keller, but I can see how a lot of people would. Obviously you want this essay to be really good, and you'll probably write your best while writing about a topic you're really passionate about. There is a chance your teacher would think its boring if she had to read a lot of Helen Keller essays, but think of the ratio of between people in your class to all the heroic people in the world...there are so many options of people to write about that there might only be 1 or 2 other people writing about Helen Keller. Your teacher isnt even going to be focusing on the information as much as the grammar you use and such, so I say, go for writing about Helen Keller and include how much she's inspired you...teachers like inspired students lOl

(Rating: 5) "Your teacher isnt even going to be focusing on the information as much as the grammar you use" -- You've made an excellent point!! You're definitely right on about this. It's just so bothersome knowing that I truly idolize this woman, for achieving everything I want to acheive.. and under worse circumstances. Yet, I have to worry about lazy folks who are only willing to write about the first name that comes to mind, whether they truly admire her or not!! I am going to stick to my essay and do the very best I can. Thank you!!!!
