College Admissions Essay: My Life

Throughout our lives, we make choices and decisions that change our lives and others in positive and/or negative ways. It is these decisions that determine how we will be remembered, our legacy. When I graduate high school, I want to be remembered by the qualities that define me as a person and the good I’ve done for others. Throughout the years, I’ve been often been described by my family and friends as bold, confident, outgoing, and hardworking. Not only are these characteristics important to me, but they are important to my family, as they want to leave a legacy in the name of our family. The qualities I have exhibited are the same qualities past family members have shown and are remembered for. Through always putting out my best effort when it comes to work and school, I have shown my dedication and discipline. Through doing what I can to help others, I have displayed my commitment to world peace, the betterment of the world as a whole, and the yearning to make a difference in someone’s life other than my

As Dr. Seuss whimsically wrote, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you”. I am a unique individual whose overall condition consists of a hodge-podge of quirks, emotions, and values.

My name is Alex Johnson. My mom calls me Lex Luthor. I live with my Mom, my Step-dad, and two dogs. Both the dogs breeds are Pit bulls and their names are Duke and Leia. Although ALMOST every year I go down to South Dakota to live with my Dad, my Step-mom, and my three baby sisters. My favorite color is green. That’s because that is the color of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber when he goes up against Darth Vader and The Emperor in chapter VI The Return Of The Jedi. (woo!!) My absolute favorite snack food is ramen noodles because I tried them when i was younger and I really liked them so I’ve liked them ever since. My favorite indoor activity is to play video games. My three favorite video games are: Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, Baldur’s Gate: Dark

Did you know cooking Kale doesn't get rid of any of its nutritional value. Kind of like me, no matter what happens I will always be me. In five words I would say that I’m shy, comical, athletic, intelligent, and weird in a good sort of way. My favorite color is sky blue. Not too intense but still colorful. I have a pretty casual style. I don’t go all out and style my hair and put on a really nice shirt but I probably won’t wear basketball shorts or sweats every time I go outside. I you see me you will see my blond hair, blue eyes, and me wearing jeans or some nice shorts with a t-shirt. I have a few pet peeves. First is when stuff is really unorganized, also when people try to be cool. Why can't they just be their self? My favorite type of food

I am Rebecca Dunn. I enjoy multiple activities such as dancing, cheerleading, flag core, and marching band ( I'm not called a band geek for nothing ). My family, well my parents are divorced but that’s okay because I now have a second mom, three times the love is better than two. Also I have twelve siblings, my whole family is crazy, funny, but also intellectual. People would describe me as crazy, energetic,outgoing, a "blonde", but also I can be a smarty pants. In my free time, in which I get very little of, I enjoy to relax and use my electronics.

Hello, I am Alec Mobley, born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My personality consists of outgoing, friendly, achiever, and willing to help others. I am very quiet and don't talk a whole lot. I usually keep to myself and tend to do things alone. When I am with my friends, I am usually the one who talks the most and doesn't shut up. My favorite thing to do outside the classroom is either watching sports or playing them. I am very passionate about sports and I love to talk about them. Ever since I was a kid, I would always have a ball with me. I love to watch and play basketball! Basketball is number one in my heart. I also like to be outdoors a lot. I really like to fish and especially like to fish with my dad. ​Every summer my dad and I will go up

The first thing anyone should know about me is that I am slightly unconventional. I often go off on tangents while thinking and forget what I am talking about. I love to listen to music, and I can be often found with my headphones in my ears or around my neck. I love to read, but there have not been any recent books, that I know of, that I would enjoy. While I do enjoy writing, I do not quite get how to put my thoughts on paper in a way that makes sense and still conveys the idea that I want to. I believe that this can be attributed to my constantly changing thoughts. I am a very nice person to those I consider my friends but at the same time I am very blunt and can seem insulting to those who don't know me very well. I am very sarcastic and love to tell jokes or make funny comments based on what someone else has said, or what the situation is.

I am Nietzsche, my nature driving me to suppress the disorder that held me captive. I am Heidegger, careful to not base actions off of fear, discovering a meaningful state of being. I am Aurelius, realizing my mortality and that by refusing to free myself I was threatening the already-limited time I had. I will no longer allow myself mediocrity, I am simply too enthralled in the world around me. I have an unquenchable ambition to explore and improve it. There is still so much that I don't know and that excites me, it doesn’t scare me. I sing unabashedly, I love intensely, I learn voraciously. I have immense appreciation for normality and passion. I will never again give up my zest for

Who are you? What do you do? When did you individuate? Where did you come from? Why are you here? Everyone knows me as the girl who is excited by an array of activities and subjects. They also know me as the energizer bunny, which tends to rub off on them. My enthusiasm is infectious. I always love to try new things; it thrills me to dabble in new areas, I have not yet experienced. Being this way keeps me broad-minded and easy going towards society. At times, I may seem soft-spoken when meeting new individuals. However, once one gets to know me, I am lively. In spite of what one may assume they know about me, my central story is contrary to my bubbly identity. Life is lived now and we cannot let others suppress our individual quirkiness. As

Personally, I find confidence in the statuses I currently occupy. My statuses serve as a constant reminder that my existence is not just one facet of my life, but instead a conglomerate of the things I have worked toward and the things that have been given to me. I believe there is an importance in being able to recognize the various roles I am undertaking as a member of society. I currently hold the status of being a student, brother, volunteer, male, track athlete, friend, valedictorian, and I am of Scottish decent. I occupy three ascribed statuses, being that I am a brother, male, and mainly Scottish.

Currently an uneducated architect, starting in school January. Interested in new experiences whether it's new or a different take on something familiar and people. If I'm not napping I'm out somewhere getting lost, pizza is my spirit food. Enjoy short runs followed by a nap by the beach and going out to music show/festivals. Into electronic and some indy music, reading Poetics of Space by Bachelard and The Culture Industry by Adorno. I spend too much time: reading, searching for new music and I'm emoji

My closet consists of dark clothing; bell-bottomed pants, knee-high combat boots, and John Lennon-like sunglasses are the showcase pieces of my wardrobe. My friends describe my aesthetic as "vampire-like" and quirky, which perfectly reflects my personality. I am a paradox, predictable in my unpredictability, faithful yet detached, committed yet relaxed, opinionated yet open minded, sociable yet also a loner. I love everyone and at the same time no one. I am independent, blunt, sarcastic, a debater, and emotionally detached. I hate small talk, redundancy, emotional outbursts, disorganization, and manipulation. I want people to accept me for who I am. Dissimilar to Madisyn, I have a non-existent social life. During school spirit week dances, I am the girl on the far left battling with the curtains. One time during swim practice, my coach asked me to demonstrate the butterfly. I nearly jumped out of my skin. Also, unlike my sister, it scares me half to death when people talk to me and I usually end up saying the opposite of what I mean. While Madisyn is a boy expert, I am the exact opposite. I have made my personal goal for the past three years to get a prom date and it took me until this year to achieve it. My grandfather even offered to set me up with some boys. Although I may not be a social butterfly like my sister, I excel at academics and I love the challenge of learning. I find

I am a youtube addict, watching funny videos and dying from laughter. I doodle nonsense pictures wherever I can, letting my imagination flow like a river. I’m strangely interested in internet memes, especially the dead ones. I enjoy the feel of a newly bought book, the smooth paper in between my fingers, helping me escape reality and everyday troubles. I am greek mythology itself, feeling Hera’s jealousy, sympathizing for Hercules, and creating gigantic waves with Poseidon. I like to dance, twirling and leaping to the beat. Sometimes I just make my own beat of BOOM, SNAP, CLAP! I like to roleplay, pretending that I’m in a brave explorer, looking for a lost treasure or searching an abandoned isle. Writing is my life, my soul and my love. I run, the sweat dripping down my face as I work myself hard.

You like to think you are omnipotent, but in reality you’re an apathetic under achiever. You are intimidated by the upperclassmen in your advanced classes. You like to sing when you are stressed because it helps you realize that your voice is worse than your problems. You have one friend, but she has her own life, unlike you. Your humor can be funny, but it can also push others away. You are always alone in the house, with your older siblings all out of the house. You worry about money, your family, and your future.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. Who am I? is question that many often struggle to answer, but for me it allows me to differentiate from my constituents and express who I really am. What makes me such a unique individual is my ability to identify with 5 strong strengths. I love the fact that I am futuristic and I have the ability to relate, I am responsible, I am a developer and last but not least I am disciplined. Each one these themes shape and generate my personality. Born on February 22nd 2000 I am the only daughter to Rob and Theresa Jones. When I’m not roaming the illustrious campus of State University, I enjoy shopping I personally feel
