Undergraduate / MIT Essay: I am a BLEND. Cultural Identity short essay. Evaluate my essay. [4]
To add on to the comments above, I believe you need to tell us how your culture makes you who you are. Having a different cultural identity than those around me, I can relate to this idea of a blend. What I didn't get much of was how you relate to your culture, and how it defines you. Answer questions like, have you always cared about your culture? How does your culture differ from those around you? What is an experience you had in relation to your culture that changed your perspective? The first paragraph was good in terms of introducing your culture, but now we need to get to know who you are. As the prompt says, they don't only want to learn about your culture but also your identity. The definition of identity is who you are, the way you think about yourself, the way you are viewed by the world and the characteristics that define you. Include this and you will be good. As well as implementing the grammatical edits that were suggested above. Hope this helps!
