Essay topic/theme/focus? HELP?

<p>I am writing about my diverse background and my childhood of traveling to many different countries and using it to support my claim of having extremely diverse knowledge.</p>

<p>Now should I make references to the college in my essay?</p>

<p>And should I talk about how these experiences helped me to be more aware of the diseases that plague our population today? I have also done research concerning cancer and maybe I can tie my research with my understanding of the need for a better understanding of cancer to improve treatment.</p>

<p>This essay is for common app but this specific one is going to the university of florida.</p>
