<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I'm an older man applying to several colleges and i'm worried about how honest i should be in my college essay. I'm looking into majoring in Anthropology and then focusing for my graduate in Forensic Anthropology. I spent the first half of my twenties working and experiencing different things. I'm a 3.69 GPA student and have worked in various interesting lines of work. My strengths towards experiences and different lines of work has only been through my driving character as a curious person. However this same curiosity is the driving force of doing "what it takes." It has led me down some dark places in terms of social phenomenons. One example was me paying a hooker to have a conversation with her and understand why she did what she did or posting on craigslist to photograph a heroin addicts daily life. When natural disasters happen my first instinct is to run towards them, not away. I want to be in the middle of it. If i tell other people these things they usually see me as crazy or weird. This reaction from my peers in life have shown that perhaps my true interests in divulging in the dark areas of life is unique. But i also feel that this type of interest is something that puts people off socially. 

I see college as a a place of educated individuals who are open minded and can see beyond the social constraints of the norm. perhaps valuing the abnormal. Anytime I do a job interview or speak to my teachers i never ever tell them why my strengths are strengths. I just tell them i'm determined, but who isn't when going to college ? My strengths in curiosity towards the abnormal could be misinterpreted. I have no ill will towards people and would like to be a helpful function in society. My Morbid sense of curiosity i think is in my nature and denying that would only make me mundane. Don't get me wrong, i'm charismatic and very outgoing, but i try and keep my dark interests under reps.   

My problem is how to approach my strength as not coming off too weird or crazy. That my strength is actually conducive to society, because it's a dirty job and someone's got to do it.
<bot>: Should i tell colleges about my morbid and dark sense of curiosity being the strength that i have ? That my curiosity can drive me to go to the darkest places in the world to understand the bases of the human condition.
