Nice! Sounds like you have solid experience despite the lack of formal international experience. I similarly am a bit limited in my international experience. Aside form informal/personal travel, I did one study abroad that was more like a course with a short supplemental trip. I have one year of work experience outside of school in Congress. 2-4 languages (depending on the month lol), received aid in college, took part in a lot of extracurricular activities, strong service background--particularly with refugees, yada yada. My essay really focused on a narrative of having been to countries that have weak diplomatic relations with the U.S. and how my personal experiences of being a first-generation American motivate me/equip me to tackle such challenges as an FSO. For the sake of a strong narrative/story, I barely, if even, touched on other notable experiences that could help me/relate to the 13 dimensions -- something I've been reconsidering a lot post-deadline ?. After religiously reading fellow profiles from the last few years (bad idea, don't recommend), I don't know how competitive I am without CLS, Gilman, Fulbright, etc, but just waiting for that late Oct notification at this point!
