## Caption

Common App essay prompt 2 is about showing how you’ve grown and evolved as a person 🌱

This prompt should be about being authentic to who you are today: how has your perspective changed or how you view failure or setbacks now. This college essay prompt is NOT about ‘trauma dumping’ everything you’ve been through, it’s about what you learned about yourself while going through hard times. 

Remember: Be 𝙬𝙝𝙤 you are, not 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 you are.
