To the boards of admissions reviewing my application, you are probably wondering why a below average student is applying to one of the world's most prestigious institutions, home of America's brightest minds and success stories.

The event of 8th-grade English class, Mr. Wright, assigns us an oral presentation. We have to present the project front of our class. I despise oral presentations and at a time my mind was filled with irrational thoughts. Fortunately, I have found myself with a group of people, who diligently guide me through the semester. I vividly recall those riveting moments, that I tackled my worst fear. English class has taught me numerous life lessons. And being one was discovering my better self. English class has given me an opportunity to be optimistic about my future. To achieve

Just this year thousands of kids started their freshman year of college here at NIU. Like many, I was terrified, but instead of letting my fear get to me, I used it to fuel my confidence instead. That is my belief, that instead of hiding when you are afraid, you should use the fear of the unknown and turn it into a reason to experience more.

I’m sorry I wrote this summary so late. I was caught up working on other assignments. This summary is more of a letter than a topic because you did say “The summary doesn’t have to be anything specific” and I couldn’t come up with anything specific anyways.

It took a while but I was eventually sent to the International Space Station for a mission. When my time in the ISS was up my superiors told me I was to get prepared for another mission.
