A little help, please.

Hey guys, how do I use critical thinking in my everyday life?

I'm applying to my college's honors program, and part of the application is an essay regarding how I use critical thinking in my day-to-day life. It only has to be 500 words, but I kinda don't know where to begin with it.

I know what I can put for leadership, I know what I can do for everything else. I have my two letters of recommendation already. I just need to know what to say in this essay.

Also would someone be willing to look it over for me? It's all boring academic writing, and that's outside of my usual betas.

Thanks very much in advance!
