My job here is to do my best to try and get you to think I’m some sort of amazing person who has done so much even though I’ve been through a lot. I’m supposed to make you think that I’m smart and charming and brave. I’ve been told to write about my life so you’d think of me as more than a number, but how am I supposed to tell you the real me and my story when It can jeopardise my chance of getting into my dream college. We all know what the admission counselors want to hear, we know what will get us the free pass. I don’t want to write an essay based on lies. When I go around talking to my peers about what they’re writing about, they say they’re going to exaggerate or lie and some are more confused than possible. We sit here as students, but we do have a life outside of these walls. When you don’t do well in school, you’re expected to have a sob story about how hard your life was and how you couldn’t do your homework and all the trials you went through. The fact that this letter is known for that, is wrong. I want to tell you the truth, but will it stand out from the billions of essays other amazing students have written, will it stay with you because of my honesty? Probably not, but let 's start over it’s worth a try, right? Hi, my name is Saido Hassan and I’m an African American seventeen year old. I was born in Kenya to be specific.

People say that coming to the United State would be a dream come true. I was born on September 21, 1998 in Thailand. I thought coming to America, my life will change to better rather than working so hard everyday and night at the farm to get just enough rice for the family. Even in the United State, my parent’s had to starve just so we can eat.

My mom had the best intentions, but she didn't know how to help me. My mother was practically a single mother for two years I had to grow up real quick. She had to work and I had to stay home, lock all the doors, and find a way to keep my little sister entertained. For a long time I didn't understand why my father had left. One day we got a call that my grandfather was in the hospital. A few days later he passed. That moment changed every single person in my family. Everyone was broken, but yet the spark that had been dead in all of us lit up. Over time, many of the scars from the past began to fade along with my bitter attitude.

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.
During the college application season, there is a reason why schools hate parents contacting admissions staff instead of students. This same reason can explain why colleges hate reading the same “I-went-to-a-third-world-country-and-was-changed” essay in applications over and over again. “How I Got into College”, a radio segment which aired in 2013 as part of This American Life, shared both the mistakes that teenagers often make while applying to college and how one man’s life was changed for the better as a result of his personal outlook and the way he shares his own life story. On the road to success, those who are the most fortunate are the ones who are both wary and honest about the way in which they present themselves, as a lot
Growing up, I was a child who encountered many hardships. As I came to an age to begin realizing an underprivileged childhood I lived, I learned overlook it and live on. I began to ask myself “What does it take to live a lifestyle of true comfort financially?” This is a question which I reflect on every day and is one which motivates me to flourish. Raised by a single mother within a lower economic class, we often ran into very tough times. At one point we had to completely pack up and relocate and live in my grandfather’s house. Discomfort cannot describe the reality or feeling, however we were blessed to have Family, family that we could rely on. At the age of 14, I set a goal that would require my best work to become a successful financial advisor. I will not let my childhood define my future; rather I will control my destiny through my experiences and my accomplishments as a result of work ethic.

First, I would like to introduce myself. I grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am a single mother of an autistic seven years old boy and managing two jobs to meet basic needs.

I would not state I have achieved all my goals yet, but I am closer than ever.
I bring activeness, as well I would keep chat clean from arguments, spamming, and advertisers. As well I would bring a calm, freindly environment to the board and answer questions for new or even veteran players. I don't keep grudges against one person because it could lead to terrible things in the future. I know personally becoming a Trial helper will be a big responsibility because of the amount of players that join and play on Arkham daily. I would like this role as Trial aswell because it could teach me new things, and help me with growing responsibility even more.
I have been in the United States since two thousand eleven, I was twelve years old. A year later the Obama administration passed a law to guard me, an undocumented immigrant child, from being sent back to Guatemala. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program was my ticket to a successful future. My trip here was not an easy ride and I do not know how I survived when I think back to it. That story will be saved for another time, but first let me mention my past and how I came to be.
