I’m having quite a bit of trouble writing the personal perspective essay:
“The quality of Rice’s academic life and the Residential College System are heavily influenced by the unique life experiences and cultural traditions each student brings. What personal perspective would you contribute to life at Rice?”

Mainly, I’m just not too certain what they mean by personal perspective and what to talk about throughout the essay. I figure that they want to hear something about my life experiences and then tie it into my personal perspective, but like I said I’m not too sure what exactly the latter means.

Also, I started writing about my experience meeting a huge variety of people from school and volunteering and whatnot but I’m having trouble stretching it past like 2 paragraphs, I’m not sure if I should pick something else or stick with a somewhat shorter essay (or if such a subject would even be considered significant enough).
Sorry if these are stupid questions
