Martin
Luther King Jnr once said that if a man is called to be a street sweeper he
should sweep the streets so well so that long after he is gone all the starry
hosts of heaven and earth will look back and say there lived a great street
sweeper. That is a paraphrase of the quote so please don’t hang me if you feel
I have said-or written-it wrongly. The point of the matter however is that one
needs to give his all in whatever circumstance he is in and in whatever career
field he is. It is the same thing that should be applied when thinking of
writing your personal essays.
The topics chosen for your personal
essays need to come from your forte, from your
stronghold, from the things that you are very comfortable talking about. This
is important, very important if you ask me, because it liberates you and
enables you give your very best. For instance, you could easily choose to
describe a significant experience that impacted greatly upon your life like
your accomplishments, your struggles in life if any and so on. This is always a
very good way of choosing a topic as it brings the best out of you, more so
when it comes to vivid descriptions.
Another thing to consider when
looking around for personal essay topics perhaps could be the moment(s) of
epiphany in your life; think of your reactions then and put them down. A
description of your interests in life, the rationale or reason behind your
interests, your funny childhood experiences, the type of friends you keep and
how they would characterize you and so on could also be a good source of
personal essay topics. Your future ambitions and aspirations could also form a
very source of topics for your personal essays. The point is that the topics
chosen should be things you can easily identify with and also if possible the
things you have experienced in life; you can never go wrong with that. Many
years after you are long gone people could also look back and say that there
lived a great essayist.
