My Letter For My Application For College Essay

The essay I chose for my response page is Mint Snowball by Naomi Shihab Nye, a story of a girl born in the wrong time. It's very interesting that this story is a personal narrative, but it is mostly written about Her great-grandfather. Her mother probably told her this story often enough that it stuck with her and became vivid in detail. She seems like she wished she was there with her great-grandfather. This leads to her disconnect between her and modern day society.

My proudest essay was my research essay. I was very passionate about my spay and neuter topic and highly enjoyed my research. From this paper, I found that I had a strong mind for research and finding good scholarly journals. I also found that I was good at reading them and decoding this that tripped me up. I also learned that there was more to learn about APA citation that what I had previously known and this was a weakness of mine, but I quickly adapted and turned this into a strength. I also rediscovered my weakness of dragging things out in my earlier drafts, but learned to make cuts, even if I liked the information I originally wrote about. If it's not relevant, it doesn’t belong.

Growing up in a small town, with the knowledge of a small town community can have an effect on you. Having the respect and dignity to know between right and wrong adds and interesting aspects into a life style. Growing up in a small community makes you realize what it is like to have small class rooms and having your teachers know you by a first name basis.Knowing everyone on each sport team because “everyone knows everyone in a small town”. I had the ability to be able to ride my bike down the street without a real question of my safety where I grew up in Worland Wyoming. I have different academic interests than others may, I enjoy different extracurricular activities than other students, and life experiences that are unlike anyone else that have shaped me into who I am today.

I chose a piece called “Writing for Their Lives”, for my rhetorical summary essay. This article was chosen at random, we were not assigned a certain prompt or article to do a rhetorical summary on, so I panicked, picking the chapter that looked the most interesting, and choosing a subject that I would invest my time in researching. I think a big issue for me right off the bat was having to choose my own article. Although there are normally two opinions on having the freedom of choosing something yourself academically, it scared me into thinking I wouldn’t choose the right one.

The writing of my college essay was quite a process. Normally for me writing comes rather easy, I do not struggle putting my ideas on paper. At first I thought that this essay would be simple to do and not be very stressful. It turned out to be quite the opposite in fact, just brainstorming was a struggle for me. It was difficult for me to think about my life and how it is special. To me, the events that have shaped me do not seem that relevant, at 18 I had never really payed much attention to how certain things affected me, I just lived my life. eventually , with the help of Mary, I came to the realization that having my summer taken away from me due to a broken foot had really changed my life philosophy, it truly changed who I was and my outlook on life.

When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous

I see that writing an essay is like telling your audience a story that you have created yourself. The story could either be about me struggling in being accepted in Valdosta State University, or how Immokalee High school, which is the high school I had attended, began as an educational institution. The paper I typed up in high school were mostly looking up information about a historical event. For example, how Christopher Columbus had discovered America and how he was a terrible person in general. Outside the textbook and writing class, I had written multiple stories about my life and my feelings towards people. These types of stories I had written were very personal. When creating them, I started pouring my emotions into an electronic device.

My essay is about the time I tried football. My mom's friend wanted me to do football because her son was. I declined her offer many times, but I finally said yes. My mom said I could try it once and see if I liked and if I did not I could quit. She ended up lying to me! I got over it tho.

Since the time when I was little, my parents always encourage me to do the best, work hard, become educated and have a positive life style at a very young age. My earliest memories are that of reading interesting books because I love to read and do my science whiz experiments. However, I also had great interests in playing with Lego pieces and conducting fun chemistry games in my own tiny lab. It was a fun time for me; at least that’s how I recall it now. The only things I had to worry about were: what will I have for lunch today, which chemistry game or Lego pieces do I want to play with and my team winning the sports games I use to compete in.

In August, our first day in the college class, Mrs. Garth talked with the class about what this semester was going to be like. She spoke to us as college students and not little children. She told us that Comp. was all about writing. As a class, we knew there would be more writing than we were use to, but the very first paper that Mrs. Garth told us to write was unlike any other paper I had ever wrote on my own. We were told to write about our favorite foods, our not so favorite foods, or a tragedy that has happened to us in our life. Of course, I wrote about the tragedy, my paper was written on the note of my grandmother passing away. I used very descriptive details in my writing about what the days were like for me and how I felt after she was gone. While writing the paper, I thought to myself

I have been going back and forth for a while on the type of essay I would like to write. I wanted to interest readers, but also write about something that interests me. Lately, I have been having trouble with friendships, and I feel as though no one understands that. When I had a conversation with my mom she explained, that my sister was going through the same thing. That is when the idea hit me.

For my narrative essay I chose The Choice to Embrace, by Juliet Glen Ridge. I chose this essay because I could relate to the overall message, you have a choice to either dwell on the past wondering what could have been. You can let the memories scar you and weigh you down or you can embrace what you have, and enjoy the little things. In life you have to leave room to laugh or as the

I was born on September the 7th of 1994 in the San Francisco Bay area, not very far from Silicon Valley. The year I was born President Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade agreement with Mexico and Canada which helped to stimulate economic growth about twenty years ago. Living in California made my Dad the open-minded liberal that he is today, and because of his love for discussing politics I was raised listening to him have friendly debates with my very republican grandpa over every economic issue from climate change to healthcare. For about a year and a half after I was born my parents, older brother Daniel, golden retriever sandy, and I all lived in a classic colonial style home just south of Santa Clara Valley. My father was the breadwinner in our family working as an engineer for Portola Packaging. A job he was offered not long after graduation from a small private engineering school in upstate New York called Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My mother also worked full time but as a loan underwriter. After being offered a great relocation package by Portola to the east coast my parents quickly decided to pack up our house and move to Pittsburg Pennsylvania. In addition to being closer to our extended families they also believed that raising a family in Pennsylvania was far

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

Hi, Julie! Thank you for sharing your (and your group members?) work with me today? I?m looking forward to reviewing it. Thanks too for your note in the appointment form! I?ll be glad to help you work on cohesiveness and clarity of ideas today.
