Question Details: in my college app essay but I feel that the college admissions committee probably heard that too many times. Any suggestions as to some quotes along the same line. Btw its for UNC and the question is what can you contribute to the college?

It appears you're looking for a quote that implies "service"...or being "of service" .....and since this is for UNC and the question is what can you contribute to the college, one I might suggest is from Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve , who WAS an educator, grad. Columbia (B.A., Barnard, 1899; Ph.D., 1908). She was professor of English at Barnard from 1900 to 1911, when she was appointed dean, a position she held until her retirement in 1947.
the quote is:
The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community-these are the most vital things education must try to produce.

Robert E. Lee has a bunch about duty to country. your college admissions committe will probably be less than thrilled to hear them, but Lee certainly put his money where his mouth was and never wavered from his principles or his country...Virginia.

JFK was the end of the noble liberals, they went into a tail spin and crashed and burned. Look at his disgrace for a brother.

What tuition isn't enough?
Wish colleges would want you to show patriotism for America as much as wanting it for themselves
