<p>I need to write my rough draft of my college essay for english class. it's due tomorrow and I'm ****ed because my english teacher mentioned it last minute. Anway I am still kinda confused as to how I'm going to write this.</p>

<p>So far I have two points that i'd like to mention:</p>

<p>Being a twin- I knew from an early age that people are different (my twin brother). From being with my brother all the time I realized that it wasn't always about me.... </p>

<p>Travel- I've been to 42 states and I've witnessed diversity first hand. I'm also going to say something about how diversity is more interesting or something...</p>

<p>Any other ideas? How do you guys think I should write this? Four paragraphs? Five? should I add another point to make it 5 paragraphs? Using what I've told you, can you guys give me any more ideas on how I'm going to say that I'll contribute to Rutgers diversity? THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS</p>

<p>I think you should focus more on how you would benefit from it (than contribute to it), although certainly do not ignore either.! So talk about the 42 states you have been in, and how fascinating you found the diversity, how it effected your life, and how you are looking forward to the student body that Rutgers puts together. Think about what you have to learn, what your ‘journey’ should look and feel like.</p>

<p>Paragraph 1: An introduction to ‘you’, someone who has travelled the country and been exposed to so much in terms of different cultures</p>

<p>Paragraph 2: A closer look at one shining example of how you were effected by (or what you learned from a given circumstance or example.</p>

<p>Paragraph 3: Your future goals, how Rutgers fits into those goals, and how those goals were somehow shaped in paragraph 2.</p>

<p>Paragraph 4: Bring in your understanding of the Diversity of Rutgers, how much more you have to learn, how little of the world you have seen, and how you hope to gain insights and knowledge from the student body around you.</p>

<p>Paragraph 5: (Might not be needed) A closing paragraph to ‘sell’ yourself as someone that will grow and thrive in the rutgers community.</p>

<p>Just my opinion! :)</p>
