The student may choose to write a 300 to 500-word essay from the any of the following topics:
1. Imagine that you had a “magical” phone card that would allow you to call anyone in history, dead or alive. Tell us who it would be, why you’ve chosen this person, and what questions you would ask him/her. (Feel free to be creative and make this fun).
2. How often do you communicate with your family when you’re in school? How has your family’s support helped you to adjust to life in America?
3. How will receiving an education in the United States help prepare you to live and work in an increasingly global economy?
