How random is too random for the 25 random things essay?
Okay I’ll be real about this. Even though the website asks you to make it super random, don’t

Think strategically about the qualities you want to highlight.
I started by randomly writing facts about myself. And they were super random. I had 50+ of them. Then I started shortlisting the high-impact ones which made me look like a coherent and a sane person.
For example: My name is Ankit, which in hindi means ’to write’. Growing up, I wasn’t that strong in English and never had great teachers. But now I think of myself as a great storyteller and I’m working on my first book. So life does come a full circle.
This random fact is the one I started my essay with.
Another example: In the 7th grade, I was running the relay race. I fell down and tore my pants from one knee to the other. And even that did not stop me. Until that day, no one had ever seen someone pass the baton wear superman boxers
This random fact is the one I ended my essay with.
Both of them show resilience in different settings.
Hope this makes sense
