The prompt

Help me write a personal essay for a college application (for example a US personal statement or UK statement), using only my real experiences. Prompt or question: [paste it]. Word limit: [n]. Course or major: [ ]. My raw material: [3-5 moments, challenges, interests, things I've built or done, in rough notes]. Work in steps and wait for me after each: 1. Ask me five questions that dig into the most specific, personal details. 2. Suggest two or three angles for the essay, each built around one moment, and say what each shows about me. 3. After I pick, write an outline: opening scene, what changed, what I learned, link to what I want to study. 4. Then a first draft in my voice, simple words, within the limit. Rules: don't invent achievements, awards, numbers or feelings I didn't mention; no clichés like 'ever since I was a child'. Mark places where I should add a real detail with [ADD].
