<p>i chose pick you own topic.</p>
<p>my commonapp essay is about my sense of humor + other stuff.</p>
<p>it basically saying that when i came to america when i was 10, i didnt know american culture and english (so of course i coudnt make jokes about justin bieber or use sarcasm etc.), i learned humor/jokes in hope that i can get along with the foreigners, and along with my sense of humor, grew my knowledge of my new environment and the confidence to express my thoughts to people who i once could not communicate to. and ill do better in future.</p>
<p>of course, it's longer, expanded, fancier, more-adult-like than the summary version above. how is the idea? i already wrote it but its in rough draft form. i also throw in a joke (MAYBE two) in there (i think they're fine =p)</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
