I am stumped...

Writing my nursing application essays is harder than I thought it was going to be.  I have 3 essays I have to write for the Nursing application at pierce college and they are just kicking my butt right now.   I wrote my first one which required me to answer what factors contributed to me wanting to pursue a nursing degree.  Well I can't really tell them my PB tell me too, can I.  :)  That one was a tough one but I was able to think of things.  This other essay is "why do I think I would be a good fit for their program and in turn why I feel it would be a good fit for me".   This one has been a hard one.   What can I write that will differentiate me from the 100 other applications on why they should pick me. I really don't know that answer.  I can't say to them what I am thinking that I could care less which nursing school I get into I just want to get into one of them.  I am sure they would not understand a care less attitude.  :)  At this point I wish I had paid attention in English long enough to know how to write a awesome essay.  Sigh...  If anyone has any suggestions on why I would be a good fit over the 100 other students applying let me know.  These essays are a huge determining factor in if I get in or not.  The nursing advisor told me they take off points for everything wrong with an essay.   I need an English teacher right now  AHHHHH.

Not sure if you know Melanie Broadbent, she's in the Crestwood ward now, but she is/was an English Teacher.
The link to her blog is on my blog, I bet she wouldn't mind helping you out.

Tell them that since you are older than most of the other applicants, AND a mother...you will be much more serious and dedicated than the those others who are younger/non experienced with kid's scrapes & illnesses!
