<p>Passion / Study Abroad:
My passion is the French language and culture, well-expressed in my application through my year abroad in France this year. I am with a well-respected program that places Americans in host families and a French-speaking school. All of my classes are in French with the exception of English and Math, and am performing well with an upward trend. I’m hoping that my international experience will set me apart from other applicants.</p>
<p>I plan to integrate my passion for France, language, and writing into my essay, which should be excellent since I am a good writer.</p>
