i need help on how to write an essay bout myself, background, family, etc and how i will bring the diverse culture of my country to the school. please if you can give me a sample to read to enable me write mine.
thank you
Start by brainstorming things about yourself, your background, and your culture that make you unique. So, in my case, since my parents come from England, I might choose to focus on how my British heritage has given me a dry sense of humor, an appreciation of verbal irony, a knowledge of British history, an understanding of how accents can convey social information about class, a realization that English is not a single language but several closely related ones, etc. Once you have a list of points that you can write about, decide which ones would most recommend you to the school you are applying to given the program you are applying for. So, in my case, if I were planning to major in English, I might play up the sense of humor and the appreciation of irony. If I were planning to major in history, though, I might focus more on how having British parents made me take an interest in where people come from. This sort of focused approach should be fairly easy for most of the humanities and social sciences. If you are applying for programs in math, engineering, or any of the hard sciences, you'll have to work a bit harder at it, but it should still be possible. So, for example, if I were applying for a degree in Chemistry, I might talk about how I have always viewed my parents as atoms of one element mixed into atoms of another, forming a cultural compound that is neither wholly British nor wholly American.
"cultural compound"
Very nice, Sean.
thank you very much sean. any more views will be highly appreciated.
thank you
Great advice here! Also, for more guidance:
Start by writing the most important truth you have to offer. What have you learned in life that you can tell the reader as the very first sentence?
If you have a certain truth you learned, tell it in the opening line. It will be too profound to explain with that one sentence, though, so add another sentence to ELABORATE on that truth. Then, use the next sentence to tell about a life experience that led you to this conclusion, this truth. After that, add a fourth sentence to the opening paragraph, a sentence that reflects on the IMPORTANCE of this truth.
Then, spend a few more paragraphs letting your wisdom spill out onto the page.
the prompt dwells much about you. your background your family and stuff . please help me with this that is the most important.
thank you.
In this essay, I will explain how a particular value that is important in my family has inspired me to choose [name of school] as my top choice among the available schools. This value, which is common to both my upbringing and the philosophy of [name of school] is...
And then spend the essay explaining this value, which you inherited from your family, and how its importance to you makes this college an absolutely perfect choice.
Sean hit the nail on the head. You want to just talk about yourself and why you are fit at a college.
