Which Of These Should I Write About For My College Admissions Essay?

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 am 33 yrs old. My entire adult experience can be characterized by my involvement in alternative healing. My interests started in an attempt to try to heal myself.

It has been unclear to me why things in my life are challenging in the ways that they are.

Has Any One Had A 100% Answer About Their Cause Of Aplastic Anemia?

I was diagnosised with AA two years ago. I see a AA specialist at M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston. Since I worked for a sheriff’s office and routinely worked around a Shell refinery she initially believed that it was probably exposure to benzine. Over the course of the last two years and after studying her patients, she remarked at my last check up that she strongly suspects the underlying cause is viral.

Her reasoning was that almost 100% of her patients, despite improved blood counts in all areas, constantly complain of flu like fatique. That is the case for me. Despite having decent red blood cell counts, I always feel like I am coming down with the flu.

Help! How Do You Attract Attention About A Great Cause That Involves Charity?

A group of Smallville fans (Kristin Kreuk and Clark and Lana fans) has raised a total of $4,500 in 5 days and as of now it’s still increasing. We’re donating to 4 charities on their behalf: The Christopher Reeve Foundation, BC Children’s Hospital, Red Cross and Greenpeace.
This project is sincere, heartfelt and supports several good causes. It has raised awareness about the value of giving and gotten people who have never donated to charity to do so.
But we lack the press coverage we need to let people know, more importantly the people involved with the show know about the cause. I’ve emailed every online news site I know and no response.
Can anyone help me out? Do you know someone I can contact who will take a closer look at this? Please email me if you wish to remain anonymous.
I don’t know where else to ask, it’ll be ashame if no one finds out about this cause. Thank you so much.

Any One To Know About Aplastic Anemia?

The previous responder was correct. There are no real known causes except exposure to benzine and other petroleum based products and an acquired version from some chemotherapy regimens.
The majority of cases are ideopathic which means the cause is unknown. My specialist at M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston thinks the condition is viral in nature since all of her patients, including myself, despite their blood counts, constantly feel fatigued. In my case, it feels like you are coming down with the flu on a daily basis.
Treatments vary as do there effectiveness. You are generally classified as being severe or moderate. If any of your counts are in the severe stage then your condition is life threatening. My counts personally have flucuated. At present, I am symptom free with stable but slightly rising counts. I am on no medication at this point since I wasn’t getting any results. If you are researching AA on the web you have to be aware that you are going to be reading about the “worse” cases and it can be very depressing. My first suggestion is to stop reading the case histories and join some of the organizations out there that support AA and MDS patients. You will find there are a lot more success stories.
