I just wanted to see what everyone thought of this topic, whether it'd be okay and whatnot. It's for the summer program at Stanford.. I guess they got my test scores or something and sent me a letter telling me to go. Whatever, here's the topic.
The essay, in 500-1000 words, for High School Summer College 2007 is: To learn to think is to learn to question. Discuss a matter you once thought you knew "for sure" that you have since learned to question.
I was thinking that I could go with god. It's controversial, but I would make sure it wasn't offensive. Most kids blindly follow their parents faith, but as they get older they make the decision for themselves what their faith is. So.. I figured that it would be a decent topic to discuss my experiences with it.. Anyways, tell me what you think.

Re: Stanford Summer Program
make sure you care about your essay topic.....because if you don't care about your essay topic no matter how good the writing is a reader can tell that you weren't enthustiastic about your essay topic.......I found in Journalism I had to care about a story topic before I could write an amazing story........ so thats the only advice i'm going to give you, to care about your essay topic.

And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
