What should be the topic?

I have written a personal essay where I start by showing that I have a curious mind, try to figure out what the purpose of life is for me, then go on to tell how I'm determined to bring about a significant change in society.
What could be a suitable topic for this essay ?

Hi,

Then it sounds like your topic is 'What I am'.
Or 'Anything that comes into my mind'.

No. It's a college essay. It can't have such topics.
Emotion: thinking It has to be something 'intellectual'. I hope you get what I mean.

Also not wishing to be rude, but if it's a college essay, you should put more time into thinking about what to write than about the title. If you don't care about what you wrote about, then you shouldn't care MORE about the title. Otherwise "Thoughts on Who I Am" is a completely appropriate title for your essay.

How about 'A Curious Mind' or something like that ?

There ! I guess I am looking for title and not topic.

Hi,

OK then.

How about 'My life's purpose' ?

You can't just say 'A Personal Essay' ?

See, my essay begins with : I look at the sky, and wonder what lies beyond infinity.

And the last sentence is : Evn though I at times feel I am just a speck in this vast world, I am motivated to continue to Dream Big.

Any more suggestions?
