USF (Jesuit) Essay HELP!

Applying to College
1

<p>I am applying to the University of San Francisco for Fall 2012. The application technically closed January 15th but they said they are still accepting applicants, so I want to turn mine in ASAP. The only thing I have left to do is the essay, but I'm stumped because USF is a Jesuit school, and I'm not religious at all...</p>

<p>The prompt for the essay says:
Please compose a one or two page essay about yourself that tells us how you will help the University to carry out its mission: To promote learning in the Jesuit Catholic tradition so that students acquire the knowledge, skills, values and sensitivities they need to succeed as persons, professionals and architects of a more humane and just world.</p>

<p>Any input at all would be great. Thank you.</p>

<p>Do you have any community service experience? Do you enjoy helping others? Jesuit schools are know to value these experiences. If you haven’t done community service, maybe you could express a desire to help others during your college years.</p>

<p>For example, maybe you have led a relatively comfortable life so far. You could then express a desire to learn more about people who are different from you. Colleges often have numerous ways to ‘give back.’</p>
