How should I approach this question...?

<p>Community- educational, geographic, religious, political, or other- can define an individual’s experience and influence her journey. How has your community, as you identify it, shaped your perspective?</p>

<p>this is perhaps too late to help you? sorry … .
but this is a purposely very very open question. they want to learn more about you, something that didn’t emerge in essay or other question. Use one of those hooks–politics, ethnic identity, place you live, whatever–that will let you say something positive and interesting about yourself. if no great idea comes to mind, don’t fret over it-just find something. best of luck</p>
