<p>Sorry, I was a little hasty in my posting, I guess the following are some more things you should know:</p>

<p>For the past 3 summers I have worked at Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP, a mid-size law firm in DC. This summer I have taken on much larger repsonsibilities, those of an administrative assistant making $40-$45K a year. I enjoy working because of the interaction I have with people.</p>

<p>I also enjoy "all things beautiful," i.e. aesthetically pleasing: architecture, inetrior design, etc etc.</p>

<p>I visit Russia frequently and have also been around Europe.</p>

<p>These are all aspects that I might somehow try to work into my essays because they show that I am a globally-minded and well-rounded person; is this a good idea?</p>

<p>You have as good a chance as any. You should write in your essays about something that will make you stand out, ideally, something important to you. So yes write about that.</p>
