Multifaceted Background' University of Illinois Writing a self-reflective tirade is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks to perform. I have found myself pondering this topic for an unusually long time; no one has ever asked me to write about my culture' the one thing about myself which I understand the least. This question which...
The black pirate hat danced around in the air, weaving and bobbing to some Disneyland music. Attached to it was my head and the rest of me, being dragged along on this wild ride. The only sounds I heard were ones of trumpets soaring higher and higher, trying to hit an absurdly high note. The pirate hat and the warm Florida night ha...
The team filed into the locker room at halftime. Everyone was discouraged, upset because we were losing by thirty points. ?Hey boys, we?ve gotta step it up and we gotta step it up right now. No more messin? around. Let?s put forty points on the board and send these chumps home with their tails between their legs,? barked one of...
My inspiration to succeed has always come from within. As a child, I had the vision of becoming a star and a role model for the next generation. I applied to Emerson College because I believe it will help me fulfill those dreams. I am a person who is driven to achieve, and help others. The adversity of living in a small town, the...
Good morning. I don?t think I can even begin to relate just how terrifying this is, so here?s what I?m gonna do instead; I?ll mumble, speak much too quickly, avoid all eye contact, and use overly-dramatic hand gestures. And since it?s too early in the morning and school year to picture any of you naked, this?ll have to do. In my l...
In High School, college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people I was scared to death at the same time. I didn?t know much about the ?college experience? and what I...
?Observe, Watson.? An unfamiliar voice caused me to stop dead in my tracks as I was coming back to my table. Surreptitiously glancing through the foliage, I noticed two men pointing at something. Hesitant to announce my presence, I was very perplexed by the fact that the object they were staring at was my backpack! I was studyin...
No greater contribution can be made to a specific field than research that leads to the development of a new and superior technology. Universities and businesses constantly attempt to remain on the cutting edge of new design, manufacturing, and application systems through research and development. If I were given the opportunity to...
Some say that mankind is complex beyond comprehension. I cannot, of course, speak for every other individual on this earth, but I do not believe that I am a very difficult person to understand. My life is based upon two very simple, sweeping philosophies: pragmatism in actions and idealism in thought. Thus, with these two attitudes...
A few days ago, as I was eating lunch with friends, I entered a heated debate about the worth of education. ?I should not have to learn algebra and calculus because it will have no influence on my life,? my opponent angrily shouted as I tried to defend the usefulness of mathematics. Three days later, I still mul l over the issue, t...
26 th of january. Republic Day of India. Bhuj, home to my aunt and the place where i have been spending my holidays for the past 10 years or so. It was 8:55 in the morning. Everyone was ready for breakfast except me. I was always late on the dining table and often made mom angry. But that day mom didnt get angry. Wondering why ?...
The Panuluyan was a real eye-opener for me. It made me become aware of the things, which I have normally taken for granted. It was so surprising to see how much little they have, yet at the same time they cherish each little blessing they receive and they never cease to be grateful for what is given to them. It made me see that...
I may seem to be someone with many unconnected facets and talents once you have read all the other essays on this application. This essay is intended to slap together a few of the pieces of myself that I have displayed here. The human race is immortal ( that was a doozy wasn?t it ). There is nothing that forces us to decay into o...
High school is a strange time. After three years of trying to develop identity and friends in middle school, students are expected to mature immediately on the first day of ninth grade, but I never did this. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important high school success, as measured by GPA, would be to my future lif...
