College Admissions Essay-The Foundation Of My Identity

Regardless of the fact that I was a dare devil as a child, I have learned to take chances, be my own person and to take on as many adventures as possible. As a child I would always be doing something, whether I would be talking to new people or going to find a rock to jump off of. It wasn’t always a good quality to have because I would take my adventures too far and put myself in a situation where I could come to be hurt. Nevertheless, I am still alive functioning and it made me the person I am today.

There have been labels placed upon me throughout my life. Some have stayed with me while others have dropped off. Without these labels ruling how people see me I feel like I would be more free to do things than I am now.

Someone that I am is a kind,caring,and loving person who loves to help others. I have not yet attempted to make a positive change in the world but I do have a couple of ideas that i think will work and are very positive towards the world. I was always curious since I was a little girl what the entire world was like and how others were not in the best situations. Now that I am older I do realize that the world world is very harsh and it’s not always going to be the best place to be at certain times, I realized that when put myself in a bad position with not so good people. I’ve always told myself when I was younger that, they deserve that type of punishment when I would see people on the streets. Now I see that it always is not there fault they obviously up somewhere in life and mistakes always happen. One way I would like to help those people on the streets is build about the size of a large dog house and so they could call it home until they get back on there feet.

Former baseball player Tommy Lasorda once said, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.” The journey of our life is full of winding paths and concrete obstacles whose sole goal is to slow us down, and to attempt to block us from reaching our ultimate goal in life, whatever that may be. These barriers are there for several different reasons, whether it be mental or physical. Sometimes these obstacles are motivated by fear, other times they exist simply because we have to make a decision, and that decision can be life changing. But through our determination, and through our perseverance, we can achieve what these barriers told us was impossible, and can pursue the path in our life that leads us to our ultimate self. Throughout my life, I have had thousands of barriers stand in my path. And the only way I was able to defeat them was through conquering my fears, and breaking my limits in order to achieve excellence.

Breathing heavily, a million things run through my mind. I’m dying. I can’t feel my feet. My lungs aren’t taking in oxygen fast enough. However, the finish line and the satisfaction of knowing that I had gotten myself through three miles loom ahead. Clenching my fists, I force myself through the indoor track at JCC. The excitement and pride that I feel when I finally achieve my goal is indescribable.

I will never have my father’s smile or my mother’s eyes. My skin tone will also never match their pale skin even though I am their daughter. Although my siblings and I are all adopted from China, growing up in this unique family dynamic played an integral role in my development. I have grown to realize my ethnicity and upbringing are not labels used by my peers to define me. My background has helped me push through social barriers to build friendships. It challenged me to impel beyond the world’s “black and white” boundaries to see a society that thrives on diversity. My multicultural background equipped me with experiences that gave me a new perspective on privilege and responsibility, preparing me to overcome obstacles in the global industry

Paragraph 1: Everything that’s happened in my life makes me who I am, but what really makes me, me? I think family, sports, and friends have made me who I am today.

I wake up for yet another day of unpredictable events, I never know exactly what is going to happen during the day; the only thing I know for sure is I have no home to go to. I have nowhere to go and nowhere to be, I am 18 years old and I already consider myself a failure. I like to think that it is not all my fault, I consider myself a very smart guy, and I had excellent marks before I dropped out of school. It was when I was kicked out of my mother’s house when I was forced to drop out and try and support myself. That is enough background about me, long story short, I am no longer a student, and I have no job and no place to call my home. I step outside and immediately see my breath as I exhale, great it’s going to be another cold day in paradise.

I love almost anything that has milk in it. Cream cheese, iced coffee, milkshakes, and cheese . But unfortunately the universe is against me and has decided to make milk irritate my asthma. So whenever I eat something with a reasonable amount of milk product in it, one of two things occurs. Situation one- I am completely fine and can go about my day knowing I have won this round against a weird cow byproduct. Situation two- The strange cow liquid/solid choses to take control of my throat and lungs, causing me unable to breathe normally for a while, and usually ruining a small part of my day. In fact before writing this, I ate a rather small amount of chocolate ice cream that decided to give me a cough and a itchy throat as revenge. Regardless, I have survived to tell the tale and because of my choice, a small part of my life has been improved.

Topic B: Most students have an Identity, an interest, or a Talent that defines them in a essential way.

I am a genuine, honest, empathetic and accomplished person. I am more the introverted type of person. I am very curious and open-minded person, out of the many forms intelligence can have I value open-mindedness very much considering we live in a world full of possibilities where we still have a lot to learn and discover – I value more how a person thinks, his/her logic of thinking rather than what she/he knows by memory or repetition. I am a quietly confident person, analytical and respectful. I am a very kind individual but not over-accommodating, I discard people who try to take advantage of my loving and caring nature, needless to say I don’t like people who engage in disrespectful and bullying behaviors. That being said, I make

I believe in searching for new perspectives. Time is incessant, and each day provides the opportunity for a fresh experience. I fear an unstoppable routine, knowing the world could offer me more than what is in my vicinity. With a constant restraint for viewing only what is in my reach, it is impossible to become the person I am destined to be.

Growing up, I have always loved to play sports. All through middle school and high school I have focused on lacrosse. Playing a sport has taught me a lot, and something I have learned over the years is that when you can work well with others you can conquer a lot more than working by yourself. I have used that life lesson at my job as well. Everyday, before and after school, I work at a local daycare. When I started working there, I knew that I wouldn't be able to accomplish everything by myself, so my co-workers and I would pair up to achieve our goals for the day.

Who am I? That’s hard to say since there is no clear definition of what makes a person. I could be my occupations: a student, dancer, and swimmer. Maybe I’m my emotions like happy, sad, and angry. I could be where I live, or what my goals are and how I plan to reach them. Most likely, I’m a compilation of all of these because people are complex and are not two dimensionally made. Where I am, how I act, and what I do make me who I am and I would not be Veronica without living in this house in Portland, Texas and having aspirations that seem to be more impossible than seizing the moon. I am Veronica, but I can also be whatever I need to be depending on where I live, what I do, and how I change my goals.
