I have yet to see a thread on this and I was wondering how or if people were adressing this issue in secondaries.
I was abroad when this happened so the impact on me was different. Being away from my family and country, viewing anti-US demonstrations, trying to look less American, and having to schedule travel plans around terrorist warnings was quite an ordeal. I feel it was a hardship I had to overcome and it also taught me a lot about how other countries view the USA etc. Is it an issue which I should bring up in one of those optional essays about adding anything new to your application. I know others on this board personally helped in the relief effort as well. Just curious about what others are doing
