How long does it have to be?

It was three to five hundred words, which is basically a page. I eventually got it done, I just hope it's good enough to, like, get accepted.

Can I read it?

SURE, but keep in mind it's pretty boring, job application-type shit:

I was born in Los Angeles in 1985 and moved to Arizona when I was eleven years old, with my family: my father, my mother, my younger brother and my younger sister. At first we lived in the city of Gilbert, a suburb of Phoenix, before eventually moving to Flagstaff when I was fifteen. With no plan of attending university, I took the General Education Development exams when I was seventeen instead of graduating from high school, and worked full time for my father, a land surveyor and civil engineer. I learned how to measure properties and buildings and use a computer to draw up topographic maps.

My family has always been interested in foreign cultures, and throughout my adolescence my parents hosted various exchange students in our home—from Japan, Finland, Germany, and China. They even have a student living in their home now, a sixteen-year-old from France. These students stayed with us during the school year and attended the nearby high school, and taught us a lot about their home cultures and languages. In the summer of 2003, our student from Japan, Makiko K---, invited me to stay with her family, and I spent six weeks living in Okayama. It was a great experience, which helped a great deal with my Japanese language skills, and my desire to learn more about foreign cultures.

While continuing to work for my father’s corporation, I used the money I was earning to pay tuition at the local community college. I earned my AA degree in the summer of 2008 and enrolled in the University of Arizona starting January of 2009, to major in linguistics. My first semester there I happened to enroll in a Chinese language course, and soon found myself fascinated with the language. I quickly decided I would minor in the language. After taking three semesters of Chinese at the university, I chose Taiwan as the ideal place to continue my studies in order to study Chinese in an intensive Mandarin-speaking environment and for the chance to experience the unique Taiwanese culture.

See, my life is so exciting.

It wasn't bad! You got to go to Japan, a lot of people don't get to do that! Plus if you go to Taiwan that would be pretty cool... Would you stay for a year or a semester?
