Assignment #22 - Andrea Dubon - sneaking into college

I've made it abundantly clear before that i have no clue where i'm going to college just that it'll happen eventually. I do however know that i'm going to be riding onto any form of special programs my college offers. We all know that colleges love saying they're "diverse" and "progressive" while also being an institution that discriminates and disproportionally assists minority groups but considering i can't single handedly destroy this system i'll be doing my best to finesse it. If it means being the token hispanic on their pamphlets or doing orientation tours on the campus diversity i'm sure i'll be playing on all these things to appeal more to colleges. With the competition to get accepted into college rising i feel that at this point what separates me from other students will end up being our experiences as that'll be what's most prominent in our essays to them. However cliche it may now be i feel that my parents worked too hard as immigrants, and people, for me to not somehow take that with me in my journey to college and use my experiences to the best of my ability.
