Just a thought about your essays. I think it would be fascinating to hear about your romanian past and how it has affected you: I think that would be a very deep/powerful essay. My only suggestion is not to write two really serious, ‘deep’ essays: the idea of working with rich old ladies sounds almost comical to me, can you take a lighter spin on that story? That would be your chance to show a sense of humor, and then tie it into a serious note at the end if that is the point you want to get across. I would, however, definitely stick with writing a powerful essay about your heritage. Just a thought, it’s not like I know you :)
