We love Prompt #4, which asks students to talk about a time
when they felt gratitude. So many of the Common App prompts set students up to
talk about what they do for others. Just as important, however, is how
applicants react and respond when they are the recipients of something
meaningful themselves. Gratitude is quickly becoming a quality individual are
encouraged to connect to and reflect on regularly, hence the popularity of
gratitude journals and exercises. (Brainstorming method alert!) This question is
meant to offer students the opportunity to reflect on the role gratitude plays
in their lives, as well as how the practice of giving thanks and acknowledging
life’s gifts motivates and inspires them.
Students should think about times when they have felt
acknowledged, heard, and seen. Moments when they have felt that swelling in
their chest, as their heart grows three sizes. Think creatively about what you
appreciate in your life. It can be a physical gift, an action, or even just a
set of feelings projected in your direction. You can be intimately familiar
with the person who has inspired your gratitude, or reflect on the actions of a
near stranger or even a public figure who has impacted your life for the
better. Just remember that this essay needs to focus on how you process,
appreciate and draw inspiration from the action of others, so make sure your
response is focused on YOU. Ultimately, admissions wants to know more about how
you relate to others in the world, and how you repurpose good intentions.
Some questions to ponder:
- How do
you like to pay it forward in your daily life? - How
(and why!) do you express gratitude and appreciation? - What
are your favorite random acts of kindness? - Has
anyone ever restored your faith in humanity? How? - Do you
believe in karma? Why?
And examples to use as food for thought:
- Did a
kind gesture from a stranger inspire you to keep paying it forward? How do
you do so and what’s become of your wholesome intentions? - Have
you ever received an unexpected gift from someone? Why was this gift so
meaningful to you? How did you express your gratitude? - Do you
feel appreciative of a public figure for the work they have done to raise
awareness about issues that are important to you? How do you give back?
It’s important that the story you choose to tell is linked
to your life and world in a meaningful way. The whole purpose of this exercise
is to reveal something valuable about yourself to admissions, so be sure to
link the act of kindness you highlight to your passions, actions, or
aspirations. And don’t forget to detail how this gift affected you then and
still motivates you now. Once you’ve settled into your prompt of choice,
following instructions to the fullest and answering all parts of each question
are critical.
