I am answering this question:
A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.
I’m an ex child star, so I was thinking that I could write about a bunch of “experiences” I have had…like..when I had to join a circus to hide from my dad’s psychotic cellmate…and when I developed aplastic anemia and almost died….and when I was lost in the middle of the Atlantic after the captain of my boat committed suicide and shot a hole in the boat so I would die too, but then i was miraculously rescued by a cruise ship….haha, but then at the end say something about how I’m an actress. =D
ORRR
I could talk about the “people skills” I have developed from starting out in the professional world at the young age 3 and staying with it until I was about 14. …while also moving around from ca to ny to fl to va. Ive never been to the same high school twice, but since I’m so skilled at handling new situations and new people, its very easy for me to adjust and make friends, etc. ….and also, I have lived in every different cultural world of the US…..the south, the east coast, the west coast, the north, northeast…..and ive traveled to just about every state, so I’m very well rounded in that department.
OH GOODNESS! IDK…if both of these suck, let me know.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions 4 me? ANYTHING is appreciated as this is due in a few hours. (I know I’m a procrastinator. lol)

I think your second idea is interesting.
You could write about how traveling has shaped your character.
