<p>i dont think anyone has heard of my guy but it was a nice essay Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh</p>

22

<p>I know Mossadegh, he was the guy who nationalized Iran's oil in the early 50s right? I did my essay on Theodore Herzl.</p>

23

<p>ooh good one. Theodore Herzl is way underrated nowadays.</p>

24

<p>wow,
i just wrote about my mentor who leads my lab group LOL</p>

<p>nice -</p>

25

<p>Thomas Malthus</p>

26

<p>Someone fictional -- Esteban Trueba from Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits”.</p>

27

<p>I wrote about Bob Dylan too!! Darn, I was going for the creative and out-of-the-box points...</p>

28

<p>I wrote about Edward Murrow</p>

29

<p>oh eff
i thought it said -
"helped shape YOUR culture and thought"
eff eff -</p>

<p>it was a well written essay... sigh.</p>

30

<p>dinosaurrawr.... i like you. you're cool. </p>

<p>ps i totally wrote all about myself too (with little snippets intergrating in my little artist of choice, magritte) but i got in so NEVER FEAR.</p>

31

<p>haha oh man -
no no -
i wrote about my mentor who shaped MY thought and culture -</p>

<p>i sigh i sigh.</p>

32

<p>i did thurgood marshall</p>

33

<p>herzl, that guy was kind of controversial hopefully you didn't jump off the deep end on that one</p>

34

<p>Osama Bin Laden</p>

35

<p>I don't think Herzl is that controversial, especially given what the question was.</p>

36

<p>osama bin laden is, though. i know... he shaped culture and thought. but for a school advocating leadership, is he really anyone would emulate to be? i hope the essay didnt come off as disrepectful. as someone who is from ny i know such an essay would offend quite a lot of people</p>

37

<p>Oh no, I certainly didn't advocate what he does or how he does it. What my essay was about was how his leadership and recruiting of followers has drastically changed our country. I looked at how the united states has had different foriegn policies over its existance and how we now are forced to adapt and come up with a new one to fight terrorism. I have no idea whether I got in though 'cause I lost my letter with the ID.</p>

38

<p>yeah i figured. just not my style.</p>

39

<p>I wrote about President Harding and how terrible of a leader he was, comaparing him to Bush (of course)</p>

40
