<p>Prompt 1: "Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story."</p>
<p>My question: Can I relate to someone who influenced me and helped me to shape my personality? I'm about to write something connected with basketball and that this activity really affected my life.</p>
<p>Please Guys, I really need to know if that is a good way to approach that prompt.</p>
<p>go for it ,I did the same thing.</p>
<p>Be sure to spend most of your efforts describing yourself rather than the person who influenced you.</p>
<p>Thank you all very much. I have a general idea/outline of my essay. I’d really appreciate if someone could read this plan and tell me if I’m going towards the right direction with that. I’ll PM you, just contact me. Anyone really :p</p>
<p>Please, anyone.</p>
<p>I’ll read it! My comments may or may not help you but i’ll be glad to read it.
PM me.</p>
<p>I’d be happy to read it! Its a good idea if you went in the right direction as far as describing the influence the person had on your outlooks/beliefs/values or whatever rather than just describing the person.</p>
