<p>A lot of the activites that I listed on the Common Application are centered towards my passions. The short essay (my favorite club) focuses one of my passions. In the long essay, should I focus on the other passion that I have, or should I talk about where I come from (not a lifestory, but sort of my upbringing and my culture's influence)?</p>
<p>Well...what's your culture...and how big of a part does it play in your life?</p>
