Write a profile essay.
A profile is about a person, a place, or an event in your community. Its not about a friend, or a relative, and its not about an experience in which you participate as the principle actor. In fact, a profile encourages you to go out into your community and engage with people you dont know, explore a place that you want to visit, or report on an event in the community. -Identify a leader on your campus [or in your community]someone in sports, in student government . . . , in theater or debate, [or a student club].
