College Admissions Essay: The Love That Changed My Life

For the past three years of my high school career, and now my fourth, I have made it an obligation to continually expand my horizons in regards to math; when I cannot fully grasp an idea or concept, rather than giving up, I relentlessly pursue the idea until it is understood. During freshman year, math did not come easily to me. I was forced to go in early some days because, simply, I did not comprehend the concepts. However, taking initiative with my school work, and constantly working through problems that were difficult can be deemed one of the best decisions I have made. Although my final grade may not have been an

After years of overcoming self-confidence issues, I began loving others with the intention of engendering their own self-love.

My passion for mathematics was fixed at the age of ten, on the morning that my mathematics teacher told I would be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge, 'as practice for when you are older'. As I nervously started to answer the questions, a whole world began to open before me. I revelled in the problem solving, answering questions of a nature I had not seen before. My teachers were delighted when I emerged from the exam hungry for more. Since then I have consistently demonstrated my aptitude, achieving gold awards through to senior level, and scoring highly in the European Kangaroo.

Understanding that challenge is necessary to expand skills, I took Advanced Placement Physics as a junior in high school. Determined to excel I pored over books, sought assistance from teachers, and diligently applied myself. I was certain that an A grade was imminent. I was working hard, alas an A grade eluded me. Ironically physics, a subject I actual enjoy, was teaching me a hard lesson, sometimes, no matter how hard you work, success does not come on the first try.

I am a fortunate soul. I have two loving parents who raised me in a Christian home. We went to church every Sunday, both my parents worked, and they gave me everything I needed. My mother and father both gave me everything that I wanted, or better yet everything I asked for they tried to get. They didn’t just give me anything, no questions asked, there was discipline, respect, love, and humility. They thought I deserved the world and they tried to provide it. Was that so bad?

I have excelled at every subject, achieving various honors throughout my years at Bellefonte. I have challenged myself greatly by taking various engineering classes at the high school, so that I can see what is to come in my future. These courses are designed to push students outside of the normal classroom routine, making me focus on real world applications of the material. In these courses, and all of my schoolwork I strive for perfection, pushing myself to my limits to achieve it. When faced with challenges I strive to overcome them in any means necessary. I strive to have challenges in my schoolwork, so that I can push myself to solve them. I do not back away from any challenge, rather I seek for them to show myself, and others what is

I have actually never experienced unrequited love, so I wouldn’t know what it would feel like to go through that, but I have been the recipient. It wasn’t just once but multiple times that I have been the person to reject or just not care about someone’s affection towards me. Out of all the time that it had happened I didn’t really care until one or maybe even two boys got a bit excessive. If anything I’ve always just felt bad or weirded out but for these boys, I just wanted them to get away from me. Okay, so one boy had liked me since elementary. We had class all the time with each other until middle school because things are just different there. Eventually, because of the change, we started drifting apart. I didn’t really care much for it

We had a rocky past, and by rocky, I mean brutal. Somehow, there is something about you that will always be attached to me –a piece of my heart that you’ll forever hold, and that I don’t ever want back. Because when you have a connection with someone, it never really goes away.

“No, you cannot marry someone from India!”, that is what my grandparents told my father, a Pakistani, when he told them that my mother was with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life if he wanted to be happy. My father has always been my fund of determination, courage, and commitment. It was because of these strengths in his character that he was able to convince his parents to bring my mother to Pakistan and marry her. This is one of the many junctures for which I look up to my father as a beacon of light for me in the darkest of times. Born into a family of engineers everyone anticipated that I will walk down the same road, but gradually it dawned on me that medicine was my true calling. I knew that if I was to be happy, I had to pursue my passion, which was medicine. The pursuit of medicine is a long journey replete with trials and tribulations which were eased only due to the unwavering support of my father. Years of hard work can only be condensed into one moment when I found out that I was accepted into Dow Medical College, Karachi, the most prestigious state funded medical school.

As I look off in the distance, I catch a glimpse of a strong figure. She stands tall, and the scars along her body reveal her unique resilience. She’s much older than I am, and for this, she understands far more than I do. As a small child, I regarded her with fear and admiration, but I had yet to know how greatly this being would shape what I love and who I became. Unlike most people, my role model and the love of my life is not my mother nor my high school band director, for my source of inspiration comes from my source of continued life: trees.

Why do girls think that they don't have to try anymore once they got me that's honestly when you need to try the most because honestly I can walk out that door as quickly as I walk in if you only been in my life for a short amount of time then you're nothing to me at all that's like A billions of a second of my life I honestly don't care if you've been in my life for years I'll still walk away from you like it was nothing cuz that aint shit cuz I am really good looking and I have a wonderful personality I always treat women like their Queens I'm not some dumb ass that's going to use you for sex I want love I want kids I want to get married and honestly I'm not going to waste a single second on somebody that is not trying I know life gets busy

Despite the tough times, we walk together, Hand in hand like two birds of a feather. When I'm with thou, my love is so strong, Nothing thou could doth would ever seem wrong. I live to see yond sweet sublime smile,

It was early in the morning; I was pulling myself together, throwing on my shoes and dragging my self over to galactica, making my way over to the last day of school. There I was saying goodbye to all of my friends, but this time it was a little different. There wasn’t that summer atmosphere in my heart, I was ten years old and everything I knew was just about to change and I didn’t even see it coming. Planet Blathnik was about to be my past, and I’d better buckle up cause I was about to board a train that was going to go faster than I could ever imagine. But first, there is a little bit about my past you should know too precisely understand what my life was going to be like once I stepped off this earth.

Most people live throughout their lives without meeting with soul mate. Luckily, I’m not one of them. I fell in love at first sight. I recently moved to the village to learn magic from a famous wizard sage. I went exploring to get familiar with the place and I somehow wondered into the forest This is where I met the love of my life and I saw the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. She was sleeping under a big oak tree with a book on her chest and like a creep I hid behind a tree and watching over her in case any wild beasts comes to disturb her. As years goes by I used up all my luck and charm trying to win her over. It was a difficult battle, but she was worth it. Eventually, she and I both fell deeply in love and got married.

I can’t believe today is finally here! I finally get to marry a man who I’ve come to love to the moon and back these past 2 years. I get to marry a caring, patient, and yes, romantic man. 4 years ago we met, and after that blind date I never dreamt we’d be here today! God brought us back together. I gave you a challenge and kept my distance, but you blew me off my feet and stole my heart. Through the “courtship,” you awed me with dinners, plays, concerts, and through all this, became my best friend. You constantly make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, and I will never tire of those unlimited compliments.
