<p>Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.</p>

<p>p 2 Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.</p>
<h2>--Still thinking about this one</h2>
<p>p 3 Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.</p>
<h2>-- My coach. He has been with me since freshman year and completely took me under his wing. He taught me about success outside of the piste, how hw worked and lived to accomplished his goals. Something about invoking the will upon oneself to push past the boundaries that prevent maximum performance (in the sport, school and life). My life mentor, kinda.</h2>
<p>p 4 Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.</p>
<h2>-- Still really thinking about this one</h2>
<p>p 5 A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an

<h2>-- This is the one I'm really having trouble with. I know i have something to bring, but I just can't find. I'm actually looking for the answer to this question myself.</h2>
<p>Sorry for the odd format-- I copied and pasted from the Common App. website.
Comments and SUGGESTIONS are GREATLY appreciated.</p>
<p>Other notes:
I'm a first generation immigrant student living in a family of 4 with a low (low) income. Would it be to my advantage to mentioned it in an essay?</p>
