1 Think of a time your opinion on something changed. Compare the old and new opinion and evaluate why your opinion changed. Give specific reasons for the change. Did something specific happen to cause an immediate change? (For example, my brother watched the documentary Fork Over Knives and then became vegan.) Or was it a gradual change?

2 Explain your attitude toward a social custom or political belief that differs from your parents’ or grandparents’ attitude toward that same custom or belief. Provide a comparison of your belief and that of an elder as well as giving reasons each generation believes differently.

3 Evaluate a radical change in your appearance or behavior. Compare the old appearance or behavior with the new and provide reasons for the change. Be as specific as possible when describing the before and after. Make sure you have three clear reasons for the change. (If you feel like you only have one reason, it can often be subdivided by asking why. For example, if you say you changed your look because you “needed a change,” ask WHY you needed the change. If you answer that you were “bored with your look,” ask WHY you were bored, and so forth and so on.)

4 Compare two people who have influenced your life–one for the better and one for the worse. Evaluate how each person was able to make a difference in your life and how receptive you were to the influence. Can you explain why someone could make you stronger, happier, etc and someone else could make you weaker, unhappier, etc. Think carefully about the things each person said or did and how that affected you. Use specific examples in your essay.
