For Upper-classmen: Your essay will be on "The Most Interesting or Inspirational Person You Know." The rules for this assignment are that you have to personally know the individual (no celebrities). Explain in a minimum of 5 paragraphs what makes this person special, giving specific details as to their qualities. Choose 3 personality traits (one for each body paragraph) and use stories about the person to prove those qualities. For example, if the person is generous, recall a situation in which the person displayed that quality – remember to describe.
