Essay: Regular essay was okay. Talked a bit about interacting with other cultures during deployment and how that gave me a fresh perspective on my own culture. The supplementary essay was really special to me: I wrote a small bit about the Langston Hughes poem “A dream deferred”, and how, as a younger man I had always wanted to learn music. More specifically, the cello. Well, at the ripe old age of 25 I finally made a go at it, and a year afterwards was able to play, in recital, the music that inspired me.
