You already have an unusual story, use it. You have to have personality traits that allowed you to come to the US, tell about leaving your home, living in a new country, embracing a new culture, learning a new language and living with virtual strangers. All of that will set you apart from other applicants. Use words like adventurous, outgoing, and achievement. Try to stay positive. It is okay to say that you miss home, but try to add a very positive spin on everything.

How about an essay regarding how college and high school students are bypassing the actual learning and assignments by asking for online help?

Is this in regards to an admission essay? My English teacher gave my class the tip that no matter what the topic is, it's really about you. He gave us the misstated example of "Sure, maybe your grandfather is really good with his wood...HE BUILDS BIRDHOUSES... but you're talking about how that affects you."
the general formula:
before--event--aftermath--conclusion
"Before Mr Stanton's English class, I never realized that teachers could be stupid.
Then Mr. Stanton talked about his grandfather's wood.
I couldn't believe Mr. Stanton said that.
Now I know that teachers are sometimes humans too."
I can't deliver this quite as well as my teacher but I think the information is helpful...
