Personal Essay on Discrimination Prompt/Guidelines
1. Select a form of discrimination in which you are passionate about. Be able to use an anecdote about yourself or someone close to you to “personalize” the essay and to elicit your passion for the subject. Since this is a personal essay, you may use the word “I”.
