College Admissions Essay: Sometimes When Things Fall Apart

In life, people can gain friends quickly, but what no one talks about is that they can lose them just as fast. I learned how quickly a friendship can begin and end about two years ago. In August of 2013 a girl named Moriah Ebron was deemed my best friend. She lived in Delaware while I was all the way in West Virginia. That was a small challenge, but we made it work. We were able to visit each other and have an amazing friendship, but suddenly, something went terribly wrong. Never had I realized how fast friendships can end until I became friends with Moriah Ebron. This is an epic story of friendships and trials as well as love and hate. This is all about how I gained and lost a best friend in the same amount of time, and how that shaped me as a person.

Nowadays, friendship isn’t really of respect, compassion, generosity, and sacrifice; it’s pittiness, jealousy, and hatred. This type of friendship kills each and one of us, the inside dies, the worst loss in life isn’t what dies on the outside, it’s what dies on the inside while

They say that there is nothing to fear but fear itself, yet I tend to disagree. Our world is packed full of things to be afraid of. As a child, we are afraid of the dark or monsters hiding underneath our beds; but, as we grow with wisdom and age, those fears become bigger and more worldly. We fear things like terrorism or illness. The fear that consumes me most is that my best might never be enough.

It was an emotional experience. We both talked about how we were rude to each other and said sorry to each other. Even though it seems like an official mending of our friendship, it was not.

Our friendship has never been the same. Sometimes it's just like old times We talk; we laugh. I don't even know if she still thinks of this, but I do. I ruined a great friendship because I couldn't keep myself together and said something I couldn't take back. It's hard to know this, but it helps me remember to watch what I

Every day, every one, in the world goes through a challenge, big or small. They affect and impact us significantly. They change the way we think, love, act, and approach or do things. Challenges either frighten or motivate us, but they are what make us the person we are today.

"Good things fall apart so better things can fall together. " is what I have heard my whole life. I'd always roll my eyes and sit in disbelief. Nothing bad would ever happen to me, I thought.

I always wondered why people made bad choices, always doing what they hated to do. For me, it seemed like life was a narrowing tunnel. Right when you were born, the tunnel was huge. You could be anything. Then you started to grow up and everything you did closed the tunnel some more. You broke your arm climbing a tree and you ruled out being a baseball pitcher. You failed everyday math test you ever took and you cancelled any hope of ever being a scientist. On and on through the years the tunnel narrowed. You suddenly became stuck. You’d become a baker or a librarian or a bartender. And there you were. I figured that on the day you died, the tunnel would be so narrow; squeezing yourself of so many choices, that you just got squashed. But I

When I sat down and read this prompt, I thought it was the worst prompt that could ever put on the list because it made me feel so vulnerable and weak. I was asking myself why would I admit to people, especially college admission officers that I had actually failed at something, not just one but plethora? I thought wouldn’t they look down on me for that, knowing that I’m not always successful at what I do? At the same I thought to myself, what is Failure? Is it not measuring up to standards or simply making an attempt without achieving the desired outcome?

Although it was blissful ignorance, my early teens were marked by feelings of warm companionship. My best friend was always there with his shoulder for me to lean on, and I felt surrounded by friends. Unfortunately, the harsh reality of high school dissipated the naive dreams I clung to. The best friend I had grown up with moved to Conroe and my next closest friend distanced himself from me because he did not

When something bad happens to you, you think “Why me?” When something irreversible changes you for the rest of your life, the only choice you have is to work even harder to see the cloud’s silver lining. Unfortunately, this applies to my family and the things I’ve had to endure. You could call my unfortunate events “a dealing of bad cards”. The way I see it is, it’s only a bad hand, so I can still win the game. My life started in San Jose, California. Our family consisted of my mom, dad, little brother, and I, living in a small town called Campbell. Money was a big issue and no matter where my parents looked, there was nowhere else in California they could find to fit the financial budget, and somewhere where my little brother

Everyone may face a bad things in life, and suddenly for some reasons it turn to be good things. At some point it may forces us to things we weren’t thinking about, change our lives. One of the bad things that happened to me is not attended to law school which it was my dream. My story begins when I graduated from high school, and continued until I obtained college degree, and having a job in one of the largest companies in Saudi Arabia.

When I was in kindergarten, I met my best friend. She was very shy at first and nothing about her seemed malicious. However, as the years went by, she became very imperious and unwilling to share anything, including friends. She wouldn’t allow me to befriend any other people without putting up a fight. However, she was allowed all the friends she pleased. Over the years she began to push everyone apart so that she was the common area between a bunch of enemies. Eventually, she and I began to argue over petty things and she would always make me feel as if I did something wrong. A massive argument then arose and I began to lose hope for our friendship because even though she was using me, I was oblivious at the time. The fight did separate us, and I was quite somber about the situation. However, this was when I realized all the things she had been doing wrong; all the things that I was better off without. The ending of our friendship for this period of time allowed me to reach this epiphany that I was my own person able to have my own friends, able to make my own decisions, able to be happy about my accomplishments. This sudden realization lifted the doleful weight from my shoulders, allowing me to become a much happier person with a new outlook on my life. Like I stated before, sometimes it takes us until we reach our lowest point to realize the journey that awaits, to regain the hope and strength that was lost

One of my best friend, in fact my good childhood friend, became just my classmate in the class in one night. It was so simple to cut the connection of friendship. We had a music video project that included 13 people’s time and effort. I took the lead, because this project was started
