I need help with an essay topic.......?

"Before I came to college, I did not understand the greatness of alcohol and meaningless sex. Now I do."

write about something you believe in.

You could talk about how when you were younger, you idolized pop stars and entertainers, but now your focus in life has changed and your heros have turned into people like Harriet Tubman and JFK. (insert your own, lol)

You could talk about how you used to look at mothers insane but as you age, you realize the strength it takes to be a mother is amazing and respectable.

Something like that?

Hmmm, maybe you thought school was a load of crap when you were younger and couldn't understand why your parents made such a fuss over it but over the years, you have come to realise the importance of a good education.

I usually write the essay and then the topic, it comes out by it self, try it this way...

You could write about someone who you thought was something but was really something else.
