<p>Should I mention a variety of things that I could contribute or should I just focus on one or thing? Or maybe tell a story that tells a lot about me, but does not force me to necessarily say them all out?</p>
<p>i think a story is always the best way to go... try to give anecdotal evidence that you will bring _____ to the school</p>
<p>I dont know about mentioning more than one thing, someone else should answer...</p>
<p>yes
with a background, you can write how it influenced you and it leads to the contributions</p>
