      "My Everyday Life with an Economist Monk" is my essay topic.
      Monk + curiosity+ resilience/peace+ leadership
      I chose it because I'm volunteering in ISKCON, and my mentor there is a monk who was previously an economist/banker. I've learned a lot from him. Should I write about this? Also, please give me tips for my essay.
