<p>Would any of you like to read the first 142 words of my supp essay in response to the prompt:</p>
<p>Essay #1 (Required for all applicants. Approximately 250 words.)</p>
<p>Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. </p>
<p>And then tell me where the heck I am going with this, I wrote it a while ago and have typed up like three endings that I ultimately ended up deleting, and now I am frustrated. It will not take long:) I promise. I just need a good bit of guidance here cause I am nearly to the pulling- my -hair -out stage with this thing.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and of course feel free to tell me if this is even a good start in the first place, no point in finishing a bad essay. :)</p>
<p>Jaysha when I wrote this essay last year I saw it as a great chance to be creative. I wrote about how kids in our school bond over complaining about terrible school lunches. I know the topic sounds ridiculous, but it was by far my favorite essay that I did. If you want unique ideas, post the prompt on Facebook and see what kind of sarcastic answers people come up with (or is this just my friends?).</p>
<p>thanks mjmay7! I just got home, and so I only just sent it to you! Hopefully you will get that soon. </p>
<p>KyleTwentyEleven: That is actually pretty funny, I have another friend who wanted to write hers on sitting at our lunch table. I wish I thought of that first because it seems pretty great! I however had already started mine, and although I may end up deleting it, it is on the fact that I am a foodie. It may be a little confusing(or not…?) because I relate it back to how I found my place in the Persian culture through the cuisine. If you would like to read it that would be awesome!
I will PM it to you now just in case, since I will not be getting back on till sometime tomorrow. Feel free to comment or just to ignore it! Thanks to you both!</p>
<p>any one else willing to take a whack at it? it is 6 sentences so far, so it is not exactly a novel. I really need to go more in depth but I am so worried about word count at the moment. </p>
<p>Any criticism would be constructive and greatly appreciated at this point. :)</p>
<p>Thank you! It was really helpful. I actually sent you a new one…:)Sorry if that is annoying, I just kind of took some of your advice since I had been thinking about it as well, and went ahead and wrote something really quickly. Your great!</p>
<p>Also, do you know how strict they are going to be when it comes to the word count. Aprox 250…I am not sure if that means between 240 and 260, or if 280 is acceptable as well…</p>
<p>Ok, so I have 4 opinions thus far and they are all kind of opposing views. I think they all had good points so now I am at a standstill. (By the way, U MICH students, you are extremely helpful.)</p>
<p>Would anyone like to review this for the tiebreaker?</p>
<p>I will say though, it doesn’t matter what you write about, just pick a group of people the you feel connected to in some way and write about that feeling… specifically how it defines you as a person or help you get a long with others. Really this was one of my favorites to write but I remember how difficult it was</p>
Your great!</p>
