College Admissions Essay: My Love Of Reading And Writing

I 've loved to read and write ever since I was taught my ABC 's for the first time. It 's been a huge part of my life in a lot of different aspects. I learned how to read when I was three years old because I went to a daycare where I was the youngest kid and the only one who couldn 't read. Reading and writing just stuck with me after that. After I started reading better than my older daycare-mates, school was ready for me to conquer. The school put me with older kids right away and I was in English class with 3rd graders when I was in kindergarten. It helped me out with making friends and I always got along with older kids better

Reading and writing have been in our lives and around our lives ever since the beginning of time. It is something we are naturally born into. Almost every human being has performed some type of reading or writing, whether they live in the big city, or whether they live in the woods. They have all performed some form of reading or writing in their life. It is human nature. We are born into it. I have many memories of reading and writing, though I may not be very fond of it when it concerns schoolwork, it is something I have naturally adjusted to and it somehow has made me, and probably everyone else around me as well, who we are today.

I dreamt of walking on Commonwealth Ave. I envisioned myself entering the Morse Auditorium, books in hand, eager to learn. Ever since I had visited the eclectic city of Boston in 2006, I knew it was the right fit for me. I knew that the city itself, along with the remarkable academic resources that Boston University offers would allow me to grow socially and mentally. Until this day I ask questions on end from my comrades at the BU, impatient to learn more and more about their lives on and off campus. From all the feedback I have received I have come to one conclusion: BU is the place where I will get a rich, broad background in all my studies. BU will give me the foundation and preparation I will need to enter any field of study.

My career goal is to be a successful fiction author and to publish over two full series. I’ve chosen this career because I’ve already started writing and I love it. I think that I’d be good at writing because I’m really creative and I love to read, then scribble down whatever pops into my head. I’m always in the middle of writing something and my finger hitting the computer keys is not an uncommon sound. This makes me assume that I’d be good at writing as a career.

J.K. Rowling once said, “Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared” (“J. K. Rowling Quotes."). I want to be a writer. A writer is a person who is a fountain of imagination and innovation. A writer is a creator of worlds, a spinner of new realities and master of creativity. When I was younger, I would often spend hours sitting up in trees, my feet dangling and swinging lightly to an unknown rhythm; I would listen as the outside world seemingly stood still. My younger sister would always be a few branches away, and she would plead for stories. I spun worlds of monsters and heroes, worlds full of love and magic and insanity. I would become immersed in my stories as my listeners, and started jotting down concepts that would come to me during a dull day. Once, I had a journal full of oddball ideas and intrepid adventures. I adore my gift, and it’s inspired me to become a professional writer so I can give my ideas a new life, and become real.

I have been an enthusiastic learner throughout my education, especially having been encouraged to explore more than what is needed to pass while home schooled as a child. Thus, as I head into college, I see a plethora of educational opportunities in my future. I my aim is to take classes to broaden and deepen my education as much as possible, especially since I will now be paying for my own education. My ultimate goal is to master in Library Sciences to become the best librarian as possible alongside being an author. I love to write, but I also know that any good writer must start from the bottom and face rejection before being successful, so being a librarian alongside that to earn money while working with the books I love so much will be

A few of them are completely blank, devoid of anything besides blue college-ruled lines. Most, however, are well-worn, with pages upon pages covered in handwritten rainbows of ink and graphite. Even though their contents may not be worth the space, and they are completely filled, I cannot bring myself to throw those notebooks away. They are a part of my history.

Since a young age, I loved to read books and create stories. I recall a time when I could not read a particularly challenging book in my preschool age, so I made up the story myself. I feel that I am most content when I am at a keyboard, typing out an essay, or when I have a pen in my hand, scribbling out a plot line. I learned that, with my obvious love for writing, I wanted to put it to use and become a journalist. Being able to write is my salvation and allows me to have emotional validation, especially if there is something particularly interesting to write about. Being able to write creatively and structurally has been there for me whenever I was at my highest points or lowest points. Words are my medium in which expression is possible and using that, I dream of becoming a world class journalist.

I am a very enthusiastic young writer. Since I was a little girl that writer was a passion, started with a diaries in which I express my thoughts and feelings. Later in school with several fictional shorts story's.

I wrote my first short story when I was eight-years-old. It evolved into a complex story as the years went by, and that story will someday be a children’s book. I will admit, though, that I did not always want to major in English. In second grade, my weeks consisted of wrapping my dog’s “broken” legs in toilet paper and researching diseases and cures. Other weeks included writing short stories and attempting to teach my dogs how to read. When literature became a higher priority, my desire to become a physician faded into a desire to become a writer.

I’m not entirely sure why, exactly, or what I would want to write about, but the idea has always appealed to me. But my relationship with writing is ultimately complex, and I assume that the same can be said for many people, even you at times I'm sure. The fact of the matter is that timing is a crucial component of writing, and when you hit that road block, sometimes you just have to take a break. I guess that’s why I haven’t written a book yet, as that roadblock is surely persistent. Roadblock or not, the glory, accomplishment, and joy that I dream of feeling is always in the back of my mind.

School has always been an important part in not only my parents lives but their children's.I learned that I can achieve anything I want if I believe in myself. I learn to challenge myself and never take anything for granted. I didn’t think I would have as many opportunities or support as I do now. I believe I am Dedicated, I try to do everything the best I can because I want to be my best self. Open minded, I accept different people’s perspective. Persistence, No matter how hard it is, I never give up.Focused, I put school before anything because of the important role it plays in my future.Determined, I’m willing to take every risk to achieve my ultimate goal, which is to be a nurse. Passionate, My passion for education will contribute greatly

Some people find passion in reading books, some people find passion in athletics, and some people find passion in writing. I qualify in obtaining enthusiasm in all of those areas, like many other people in the world, but there was another area where I found excitement that not many people can relate to: the ACT.

Passion is when a person feels strong love, fondness, or desire for something. To be completely in love with something, to put your entire heart and soul in something you love. That passion for me is music. Fellow classmates often wished they had joined the music program at an early age, and feel like they can’t do it in highschool because “it’s too late to learn an instrument.” But, to all my classmates that aren’t in the music program, I highly encourage it. Even if they don’t know how to keep a beat, I feel like music is something everyone can benefit from. Everyone should consider getting involved because music helps you find a part of yourself, you didn’t even know existed. It’s such a beautiful thing that educates you on communicating.

Every one has their subjects that they love and hate, and for it was defiantly writing. Writing is something I dreaded for a long time; I developed my hatred towards writing since probably elementary school. I hate writing when I’m expected to put a spin on a subject that just doesn’t work for me, personally. There are many times when I have papers due and sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say towards the topic. I could write a paragraph but to continuously write paragraphs after paragraphs it gets a little harder. I always contradict myself in my writings but that is something I have grown out of. Writing is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. They require a lot of planning and usually some accompanying reading and note taking. Taking notes is one of my weaknesses. In some intuitions like my high school for instances there was not enough time is given to the rough draft and not enough feedback is given before the essay receives a final grade. I personally believe that not everyone is a "natural-born" writer; but I do believe that everyone has the capability to become a decent writer.
