I do not have ANYONE to edit my essay on the prompt:
Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your future roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your future roommate -- and us -- know you better.
If someone could please, edit my essay... I would TRULY appreciate it!
I lived in the Philippines the first fifteen years of my life. What can you expect from a guy who lived there that long and suddenly moved to the United States? Yes, a strong Filipino accent. Although I speak the English language well enough to have interesting conversations, I mumble some Filipino words. It is difficult not to because we speak "Taglish" in the Philippines; Taglish is the infusion of Filipino with American English.
One reason I wouldn't have a problem living with a roommate is that I have shared a room with my younger sister and my mother for most of my life. When I'm in a room with someone else, I speak a lot. I will talk about whatever my roommate wants to talk about-from classification of human beings, to derivations of calculus concepts, to how to get a better score in karaoke. Rest assured, my roommate and I are going to have a great time. Great time just like what I've had with my friends from the Philippines who called me "kuya," a Filipino term for big brother. Although I'm usually the youngest amongst my crew, I usually take charge of where we're going or how we're going to do things. I like organizing things that's why sometimes I think I have OCD. I have to arrange my things in the room a certain way. There shouldn't be a surprise if one day there will be containers to organize just about everything in our room. I can justify I will always be a "kuya" by having the will to aid anyone who needs me.
If my roommate has a "kuya" who is quiet, this is something that may or may not annoy him-I sing a lot. I've played the lead role in a high school spring musical. Even though my voice had cracked, I have been singing a lot from then on-in karaokes, in acapellas, in showers.
Nerd, outgoing, with a strong Filipino accent-three things you should remember in case you forget who I am.

I do not know if I responded to the prompt properly. I also do not know if how I approached the prompt is appropriate. Thank you!
