<p>This is the prompt of MIT supplement:
Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations?</p>
<p>How to understand "how has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations"?</p>
<p>Is it only about future goals?</p>
<p>Can I just write how this world has shaped the person who i am today? (like personality change, but nothing about future goals?)</p>
<p>The idea is to write about a meaningful experience that you have had, and what it inspired you to do. </p>
<p>If you’ve ever built or made anything, its not bad to talk about that. The point is basically to give them a sense of the world you are coming from.</p>
<p>Holy s**t. I can’t believe <em>MIT</em> took the UC system’s prompt… unbelievable.
From the perspective of the UC prompt, you can talk about either of the two.</p>
