<p>The essay I have now was actually originally written for my Emerson Honors Program application. The prompt for that was-
"Wallace Bacon, a recipient of an honorary doctorate from Emerson College in 1975, wrote that the liberal arts, or humanities, “are concerned with the question of what makes life worth living. And that question concerns not simply oneself but others. The humanities must help us learn who we are; they must help us learn the otherness of others.”
In this light, describe an encounter with someone or something different—an “other” which revealed to you your sense of self and your relation to humanity. This encounter may involve a person, place, culture, or text (book, speech, film, play, etc.)"</p>

<p>I'm considering editing it to fit as my essay for the Brown University supplement. The prompt for that is-
"Tell us about an intellectual experience, project, class, or book that has influenced or inspired you."</p>

<p>I'd be soooooo greatful if anyone would like to read it! Just let me know and I'll pm you. Or pm me!</p>
