<p>supplemental essay #2 </p>
<p>are you just writing about your town and that community or are you doings something all deep???</p>
<p>meeeeeeeee.</p>
<p>i'm writing about an attitude that people in my area share.</p>
<p>i feel like i cant write about my town without bashing it...and bashings dont make for good college essays...</p>
<p>I'm writing about the positive aspects (read: the things it has in common with Middlebury) as well as the not so positive things (read: the ways it's different from Middlebury) but the overall tone is positive.</p>
<p>I'm writing about a very specific learning community I grew up in (a.k.a. my Montessori-style kindergarten/grade school). I could have written about my town and everything, but I figured that since I live in a rural bit of MA, they'd probably just hate me on sight because I'm a Mass person. And I think the school thing had a lot more to do with what I want from college. </p>
<p>Have I missed something? Was there fine print/an implication that said "write about your town!"???</p>
<p>No, I did not write about my town.</p>
<p>I wrote that essay last year, and I did mine about my school (and got in), so you're fine.</p>
<p>i focused on a specific event and used it to talk about my community as a whole/how it has made me want to go to middlebury</p>
