Should I include moving a lot in a supplemental essay about communities?Answered
One of the schools I'm applying to has a supplemental essay about communities/groups you're in and to describe one you're in and your place in it. My immediate thought was to write about how I've moved many times (almost 10 times between multiple different states across multiple regions) and how that has affected how many communities I consider myself to be apart of/relate to but also how I interact with and involve myself into new communities of many different varieties.
I just wanted to know if this would be a good idea since I believe that's a key part of who I am, but it does go a bit off track of the prompt since it asks for one community you're in.

I think that this idea could definitely work well! Rather than being off track, it would be a creative take on the prompt. You could talk about how almost 10 communities have made you who you are today, or you could perhaps talk about one group that has always kept you grounded no matter where you moved. Hope this helps!
I recommend mentioning that because then you could mention how the community you live in currently is compared to the others you've lived in. Hope this helps!
