<p>Well, I actually wrote most of it already (Jan1 is rollin around soon), but I'm writing the Middlebury essay (Describing where you grew up and how it has contributed to how you wish to influence the world).</p>
<p>I wrote about how quirky and eccentric my part of New York was in terms of the placement of buildings and institutions. I would eventually conclude that this has given me a sense of individuality and how much I value non-conformity.</p>
<p>Problem is, there a lot of quirky and eccentric neighborhoods in new york or anywhere for that matter. Should I go through with this? (I hope it works...it was the best I could come up with after a 4 hour writer's block).</p>
