At the moment Im writing a college essay which I'm planning on sending to numerous colleges including Boston University and Northeastern. I am planning on talking about my uncle and the influence he has had on my life.
Anyway I was thinking on starting it off by listing influential people in history and the people who taught them what they knew. Like in other words a mentor, someone who helped develope thier character. Well I was just wondering what some good examples would be to use.
Any other tips on how I should go about writing it would also be appreciated? (I'm just trying to get the point across that my uncle helped shape who I've become.)
