College essay topic

Common App

So i know generally our college essays are supposed to be about us, i have 3 ideas for an essay but cant decide on which one.

  1. is my finished essay. Its about me being Haitian American and how i lost my pride because of hateful stereotypes on Haiti but ending up realizing i should be proud of my cultural identity.

  2. An essay about my driving lessons, that taught me that things will always be rough in the beginning but in the end it needs to rain before a flower can grow.

  3. (i thought was kinda a unique concept) An essay on the amazing world of gumball stuck with me, teaching me how to be an empathetic person, and seeing the potential and beauty in everyone.

Could anyone tell me if these topics are even good? or at least which one sounds best.
