College Admissions Essay: Who I Am A Tomboy

Once upon a midnight summer, while I danced to the daintily drummer, The rhythmic sound, paired to my fierce, tender heartbeat As I stopped, I started staring, then I began caring, For me, you were daring, daring and sweet, You pulled me closer, wrapping your arms around me, making me feeling

" In the end, we'll all become stories." - Margaret Atwood “We know what we are, but not what we may be” (William Shakespeare). Life is full of unexpected surprises you never know what life will bring or take away from you, so cherish every moment you have. You got to have limits, goals and aspirations to go somewhere in life. There will be obstacles and struggles that you will have to go through but those moments are what make you who you are. In my life I’ve learned, heard and seen several things that have made me who I am today. For those reasons I have set myself limits, goals and aspirations that I wish to accomplish throughout my life. In one word, I would describe myself to be ambitious! I always set some kind of goals towards myself.

One success that makes me who I am is learning to sing. I love music, and I especially love to sing. The feeling I get when I sing is unlike any other. I feel more connected to the world. Sometimes I feel as though I’ve always been able to sing. This, however, is not the case. My mom is really into singing, she likes to make up songs as she goes about what she’s doing. When I was little, I loved to hear her sing, and would request certain songs. Mom tried to teach me how to sing myself, but I just couldn’t seem to get it. One day, as we were walking in a Walmart parking lot, Mom sang the scales from The Sound of Music, and I managed to sing it too. I was off pitch, but after that, Mom was able to teach me how to sing. Learning how to sing was a really big success for me. Being in chorus and singing are integral parts of who I am today, and through singing I’ve learned important lessons, such as following directions, when to open my mouth (and when to keep it shut), and most importantly, how to empathize

My identity is defined by my passion for music and my willingness to work hard. As a child my parents always taught me that working hard is key for success so I like to try my best in everything I do. What I think defines me best as a person are my hobbies. My number one hobby is band, I have been in band for six years and it’s one of my greatest passions. I was first inspired to be in band when my older sister joined about two years prior to me entering the program. My mom really liked how band was teaching her responsibility as well as multitasking so she encouraged me and my twin to join and I can honestly say it is a decision I will never regret. Towards my highschool years I decided to take more responsibility in the program by becoming

One of my favorite stores to shop in is Kohl’s. Kohl’s has bright lighting and friendly staff that are willing to help customers if they need it. If a customer has a question for a staff member they can help you find what you are looking for or if they can not they will lead you to someone who does know where it is located. In Kohl’s all of the merchandise is clearly labeled and fairly

When it comes to my deepest thoughts, I always worry if I can either do it or if I’m even good enough. I have always struggled in school and had those teachers that told me that I couldn’t do it or I was succeed, but that just made me push harder and that is what motivates me. Along with that I had have students brought me down and that is what ticked me off, I had either people who thought they knew me or people who didn't even know me say horrible things.

Our nation has changed over the years. There is no question about that. The generation that my grandfather grew up in during the 1930’s and 1940’s has often been called “The Greatest Generation” (Brokaw). Why is my generation not talked about for our inventions and advances in technology? Maybe that

During my high school career, I have developed into a strong-willed and persistent young woman. While others may see me as being hard headed or annoying, I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today if it was not because I am persistent. When I was a freshman, I kept to myself and not participate or strive to be better than anyone else. Certain situations in life forced me to want to better myself in order to improve my family’s lifestyles. If I had not pushed and continued to persist to become better, I probably would have ended up not attending college and not becoming the leader I am today. Through the efforts I have put into becoming a better person, I have achieved some of my most valuable memories and titles. My sophomore

Why I Am Who I Am It all started during my freshman year of high school, the most regretful year of my life. As a young fourteen-year-old girl, I always had a hard time following the rules, I had no idea the kind of year I would have ahead of me. Getting good grades was never my top priority when it came to high school. It was having fun. At that time of my life, having fun meant skipping class, making friends who influenced me in a bad way, and sneaking out at unbelievable hours. What I snuck out to do was forbidden in my religion, I honestly don’t know what I was thinking or why I ever thought it was okay. The first time I was at my friend’s house at a pretty late hour; my mother forgot to pick me up so I called a friend, he was someone I knew who would

PASSport Essay#1: Who am I? Who I am as a person has a lot to do with my family values. Finding out my top five strengths through StrengthFinder was an eye opener. I’ve never taken a test like that before and it pinpointed my strengths that I do every single day. For me Self-discipline is the good foundation of my success that I have.

Who am I exactly? I find myself asking myself this question more and more often. This is my second year here at Grossmont College, and I find myself still undecided on my major or what I want to achieve for the rest of my life. I’d like to think that at 19 – despite the young age – that I have experienced and witnessed a lot in my life that has shaped me into the person I am. With the experience I have under my belt, my social concept, social comparisons, reflected appraisals and self esteem has all been affected. The person that I have become today is all dependent on my past and how I perceive the experience. Even though I might still be unsure of exactly who I am or who I will be, the experiences of my past have become the basis of my personality.

I don’t mind rap. There isn’t really any time of music I hate. There are some that I don’t love, but I like practically every type of music just a little bit. I don’t listen to rap every day, but occasionally I get in a mood for it. I think that it is important to have variety in your music interest. When you have variety it can make life a little more interesting and sometime easier. I have friends with all different music interest, and they taught me how to be diverse and understanding of other styles of music. I have some friends that like country, some rap, some rock, and some pop. Before reading this chapter I didn’t know a lot about rap or hip hop. I knew a little bit about rap from a couple friends that like rap. I learned a lot about

Who Are You? Who am I? To answer this question let us go back to my childhood. When I was eight year old a major life-changing event took place. My step-father (an American) decided that after fifteen years of living in Thailand he was ready to come home. My first year

Why me? As I grew up I continued to ask myself why? Throughout my life I didn't understand why I was hit with so many hardships. I never got an answer... so I went on to believe my struggles were only preparing me for my future. My perseverance kept me going and still is because I still face difficulties. I believe I formed myself into a leader, despite the challenges I find a way to achieve.
