<p>so i know a bunch of schools hae essays asking you what you can contribute to their school environment, i was loking for any input or suggestions as to how i could make my essay stand out a bit, because it seemss likely that people are going to write very similar kinds of things.</p>
<p>I hate those, since I have nothing to contribute.</p>
<p>After reading this post I realized I didn't even contribute to this thread...</p>
<p>-------bump</p>
<p>I know. That's the only things stopping me from submitting my NEOUCOM application. What do I have to contribute? hmm...</p>
<p>"My parents' money"? :]</p>
<p>Personal qualities: honesty, kindness, curiosity</p>
<p>Specific skills: athletic, artistic, interpersonal</p>
<p>Experiences: background (racial, geographical, etc), opinions</p>
<p>What do you contribute to your high school? Go from there.</p>
