<p>i was wondering.. since im a korean american and the VT incident had an affect on me is it okay to right about it for my college essay? like i thought that it would be odd mentioning the incident since im korean also..</p>
<p>Lots of things might affect you, but your essay imo would best focus on whatever can be the most personal, detailed, honest and revealing about you.</p>
<p>Would the VT massacre qualify on those grounds?</p>
<p>I don't see you building any credibility on the grounds of being korean as well.
I know plenty of korean kids and never once did i connect the fact that the shooter was korean to their being korean. America as a whole has gotten past that superficial thinking, why havent you?</p>
