<p>i did the kruschev one as well.</p>
<p>i chose the talk one and I told a story about building a snow fort as a child</p>
<p>anyone pick the first quote? I wents nuts with all the other quotes ( either a mile long rant or some awkward unconnected paragraphs!) b/c i personally found the topic pretty cliches (esp the diversity one!) and too vague. i don't quite grasp what they mean! guess i've done an okay job as i've got in.!;)</p>

<p>whew, i feel better about my diversity essay i guess, because mine was done at the 11th hour and kinda illogical. I was trying to get at the "diversity is important because it touches on peoples feelings" sort of thing.. anyways, i hope mine was unique enough, it began with something about , how I walk through the ghetto and past a lamborghini dealership, see street signs in 4 different languages, and drive through "the Castro" (san francisco's famous gay neighborhood) to get to school every day.. and then I went in to some liberal blabbering about how that has shaped my views on things like gay marriage, affirmative action and so on.. and then about how the world would be a better place if everybody had a similar experience every day.... tried to be poetic.. just re-read it, it definitely sucks as any sort of academic essay, but hopefully thats not what they'll be expecting.</p>

<p>"kinda illogical" sort of describes my life and my choice of activities :)</p>
<p>such as playing the violin and football</p>
<p>I did the one dealing with a photograph. It was narrative style me reflecting on a wedding photgraph and how much you can tell about someone just by looking at said photo. I discussed everyone and how they're personality shines through and emphasized on my outgoing uncle who's life was cut short soonafter, reflecting on that. Hahaha, yea....I'm a morbid gal.</p>
