I'm am applying for a college and this is one of the essay questions.

I find it very hard to answer this question in a 250 word essay

I'm looking for ideas to make my essay perfect!

Anyone that can help?? Please I need it. This is STRESSING me out, and it is so important to me that I get accepted into this college.
 
Be yourself, and tell it like it is. Nobody is ever going to make everyone happy.

Your family culture and history are very important in influencing who you are, and I think this is a good question to ask.

For example, have you researched your own family? Do you have any famous ancestors? How do you feel about how your family has contributed to America? Are you proud of your heritage? What values or beliefs do you find important to you? Has your family influenced your values, and how do people react to you for that?

See where I am going here? The college is looking for people who have pride in themselves, take pride in their achievements, and who appreciate their heritage. People who are proud of where they come from make good leaders, and colleges are looking for people like this.

Good luck, and let me know if this has been helpful.
