[ *] Essays: 9-10/10 - Of all the schools I applied to my essays for MIT were the most real. I wrote about my love for anime- how Japanese comics and cartoons are my pastime and how they give me a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In another I wrote about how my house burned down a few years ago and the impact it had on my family and my response to the tragedy- it wasn’t a pity essay( I make that clear), rather an essay to show my growth in keeping my family together. I wrote about my culture- I am from the Edo tribe of Nigeria and i discussed how this impacts my worldview and I went on to say that i am able to experience a wide range of different cultures( because friends are comfortable sharing their experiences once you have shared your own.- so my world is the culmination of many different worlds rather than just one. Finally, I wrote about writing my first ever book/short story and how the process of writing is empowering for me.
