<p>Hello. I have an idea to write my college essay and I just want you guys to share your opinions on it. I'm writing on this topic: Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.</p>
<p>I want to show how I learned flexibility, determination, attention to detail, teamwork but at the same time ability to develop as an individual. I want to write about the time when I was enrolled in 4-year music school where I was playing the guitar. I also want to show my commitment to basketball, which I've been playing for 6 years so far. How should I approach that? Is that a good way to present my personality through a combination of those two distinct activities or should I just focus on one of them? I live in Poland and I've read on this forum that it's a good thing to provide some cultural details in your essay. Is that true? I'd prefer to write about me and those activities rather about topic connected with Poland. </p>
<p>Thank you all in advance for responses.</p>
