UT admissions essay

Well I did essay A and that went quite easy but this one (essay E) is for some reason really tough for me. Heres the prompt:

Many students expand their view of the world during their time in college. Such growth often results from encounters between students who have lived different cultural, economic, or academic experiences. With your future growth in mind, describe a potential classmate that you believe you could learn from either within or outside a formal classroom environment.

I was thinking about talking about international students or just a general student that characterizes an attribute I lack. I just can't seem to find any points to talk about. This isn't a plea for someone to write my paper. I just need a nudge in the right direction to get the process in motion
