<p>never mind</p>
<p>wow what an annoying thread.</p>
<p>since there's nothing else here, i might as well ask a question of my own. what kind of essay is this national merit one supposed to me like? just a simple description of everything it asks for?</p>
<p>or maybe could i relate an experience through which i SHOW them the personal qualities and stuff that they're asking me to describe?</p>
