<p>For one of my applications, I need to write a 250 word short answer essay about how I will contribute to the college community with different viewpoints, experiences, and cultural backgrounds... I'm having the HARDEST time thinking of topics, even though I know how I would contribute.
--Problem solver
--Leadership experience
--etc</p>
<p>What exactly are the colleges looking for when they ask this? Can someone help me jump-start my essay? Its due Dec. 1. </p>
<p>Do colleges want you to focus on one specific 'trait' or 'viewpoint' you would bring to the community or do they want an overview?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
