I had to write about how I added to campus diversity.  No wonder they have people write about this, I've seen about 4 black people here in total.

Kind of old thread, but I'm working on mine. I'm doing mine on sailing. Pretty much a coin flip between sailing and skiing, just happened to be the summer when I started writing.
The supplements are going to be a bitch though, Tufts has four essays!

I wrote one about a time I crashed skiing and got a concussion plus some other shit. And how my helmet saved my life. and then said how I had wanted to be an engineer before but now im motivated to give back and make a difference by designing new products
And then for a supplement I wrote about being an adaptive (handicapped) ski instructor and what its taught me

I think I wrote about how I wanted to be closer to mt. baker or something. I don't think it really matters what you write about.

University of Denver. close enough.  but i pulled the cancer card on mine and wrote about suriving cancer and how it's changed me as a person. well, i didn't really pull the cancer card, i tried my best to keep it positive and not have that "pity me" sound.

i was tempted to pass that in to my teacher when we were learning about Oedipus in my humanities class.
anyway, i'm writing about how diversity is important to me, since i experience so much diversity on newschoolers.com. just kidding, we're all a bunch of white kids that like to ski.
no really anyway, i'm writing about 3 things: how much music is important to me, how a book helped me decide what i want to do with my life, and how my highschool career was so successful because of an attitude change i had my sophomore year. mushy stuff like that.
