twinshk2: My essay’s saved on my computer at home, not at school, so I don’t have access to it. Try to focus on why you care about politics, and how you got interested in it, not necessarily what your beliefs are. It’s okay if your beliefs come up- no one’s going to fault you for having an opinion, unless it’s a bigoted one- but don’t make them the center of your essay.
2kidsnoanswers: It surprised me how friendly everyone is. I expected people to be either really snobby, or like how they were at my old school (people stuck to one group and pretty much ignored everyone else.) But the vast majority of kids here are really friendly. I’d tell myself to be more outgoing and willing to try new things and make new friends, since I don’t think I took full advantage of the opportunities available to me.
