This year's essay is described below and should be no longer than 500 words.</p>
<p>Florida State University is more than just a world-class academic institution preparing you for a future career. We are a caring community of well-rounded individuals who embrace leadership, learning, service, and global awareness. With this in mind, which of these characteristics appeal most to you, and why?

<p>I have no idea where to start with this topic! Going from the list of characteristics I would have to choose global awareness, but I have no idea what to say about it or how to use it in an essay. How would I approach this topic?</p>
<p>Write about what relates most to you. I’m applying to FSU too and I asked my AP Lit teacher as well as the other AP Lit teacher at my school (I already had a list of topics).</p>
<p>For example, I’m writing about service in regards to work I did at a soup kitchen (however it’s not a typical essay – you’ll never guess what I wrote about) and about service regarding some Korean War Veterans I interviewed for a school project (unique). I’ll cut the essay that’s worse.</p>
<p>Just write down what you could write about and eliminate what doesn’t fit you best.</p>
