College essays & personal statements

The topic of college essays came up between my colleagues and I and I'm curious — do any of you remember what your college essay/personal statement was about? I wrote about getting on the scariest roller coaster of my life (Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios!l) and how making similarly fearless decisions — like zip-lining at my church camp to overcome my fear of straight drops — lends itself to my fearlessness overall... I'm not sure how that built a solid case for my college candidacy (LOL) but something in there must've worked! How about you? Let me know below!
