<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>I have just started this brilliant essay that answers the common application prompt about "what you would bring to the diversity in a college community."</p>
<p>I went to my homeland Lebanon when I was 10 years old for one trip and actually stood flush against the border between Lebanon and Israel. The essay needs revising, but this experience, I said, seemed to mark the commencement of being open-minded, especially about the Israeli-Arab conflict.</p>
<p>I have a photograph of myself and several other members of my family all standing at the border fence. It's a spectacular picture...nothing National Geographic or anything...but it fits so well in my essay. Do you think I can attach it along with this essay?</p>
<p>If anyone (not in the class of 2008!) would like to read my essay, just PM me. </p>
<p>Thanks,
