Essay on farming?

College Essays
1

<p>I'm in the stages of the pre-write of my essay for college, and I would like some feedback on what to write. I live on a large farm, and work on it most of the year. Where i live, is about as rural as it gets in America. :) (hoping this helps me in admissions) </p>

<p>Anyways, I need help deciding on an essay topic that will really highlight my life on the farm without sounding like a hick. :) </p>

<p>Here are some topics I have considered:</p>

<p>What Farming Has Taught Me-
Work Ethic and how that will carry on into studies and life-</p>

<p>I also live in an area with about 55% Mexican. </p>

<p>So to continue the list-</p>

<p>Farming and being a Minority-
Watching workers with no education work for $5 and hour and how it motivates me to excel-</p>

<p>These are all that I have at this current time. Any other ideas from the people here at CC, would be great! Thanks</p>
