ok so anyone on here have advice on writing college essays?
i'm trying to get a head start before midterms and i'm just kinda
staring at the question blankly

ok here is the question:

Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

[Uhhhhhhh]

got kind of an outline

private

[redhairring]

[ he's got nothing. ]

the obvious answer to the background/story question is your nationality. but again, that's obvious.
