<p>not sure what to write for my essays, I live in the midwest, live on a farm and ride horses for fun, I don't really standout...</p>
<p>I bet you could elaborate on that</p>
<p>I actually think that writing about farm life sounds like a really interesting essay.</p>
<p>Do you train your own horses? There is a lot to be said about working with animals - perseverance, planning, flexibility to change the plan when one thing isn't working, courage to get back on after being bucked off, seeing how doing something hard made you who you are. ( Worked for my daughter)</p>
<p>Other things to consider - continuity of the seasons, the interaction of market conditions and weather and how it affects your family's income, family values passed down regarding land stewardship and work ethic.</p>
<p>one of my friends lives in canada on a horse farm and it is probably one of the toughest lifestyles i could think of in terms of work-ethic, rigor, etc. i think if you elaborated on this, and how going away to college (if you are) would change things for you but allow you to apply those principles, could be really interesting and stand out for sure</p>
