<p>here goes the story... I'm asian, and I love math and science. I'm gonna be applying to top schools, and da dun~! Im stuck on my essays. I think I showed my inquisitive side with an incident from physics class and my humorous side with the long question. Only problem is, I want to show my compassionate side, cuz I don't want to come off as a selfish jerk (I'm NOT! really! at least, i hope not oO;) But... should I sacrifice showing my inquisitive nature to show my human side? or vice versa? I'm confuseddddd.</p>
<p>I think that an inquisitive nature is a very human trait, so you can always incorporate that into your essay! I'm guessing you're talking about the common app essay, but some colleges have supplement essays; you can always express yourself in those.</p>
