Is it really ok to put nothing there? Im just curious if its really "optional" I dont have a lot of things to really say for it. I dont have advanced training in arts, sports, or music. Ive never left the country. Ive had some odd laborer jobs such as working in a cookie factory, but im not sure if thats what they mean. As for cultures...theres nothing really substantial...except maybe when i moved from southern cali to a small rural farming town in the midwest. That area in general was somewhat of a shock compared to cali. I just dont really think i can write anything of too much value here...but i know sometimes optional means do it or else.
