UC Essay #2

I want to talk about my political contributions to their campuses as a good ol' liberal. I am VERY VERY VERY passionate about politics. But I don't know how to go about it. Should I talk about how I always came home before the midterm elections (the current one) and checked the polls and projected my own outcomes? Or that I actually voted in it? Or that I impressed my AP US teacher one day by nonchalantly naming all the Supreme court justices?


HELP!!!!

Can anyone with a heart filled with compassion tell me where I can go with my political essay?

i like the 2nd idea. being too opinionated about politics may be risky, if you include such opinions in your essay.
