I had gone horse riding before Altai, but not since I was about 10 or 11 years old. Even then, when I was riding regularly, I still got nervous before mounting the horses. The riding instructors were not very nice to the horses and they got scared extremely easily because of that. I had nearly fallen off multiple times and those memories still shake me up today. So in this trip I was terrified of falling off the horses if they got freaked out. When we were due to pick our horses, I was really nervous
horseback riding, do you picture a young girl getting up at four a.m. to go to the barn? What about a teenage boy landing face first into the dirt off of a galloping horse and getting back on? No, well you’re not the only one to picture some wealthy man in a top hat prancing around on a majestic white stallion like it’s the easiest thing in the world.

soon rushes by prove the great and true wisdom captured in this aphorism. Horses are as much a part of my identity as my own name. No feeling in the world approaches the euphoria I feel when I am one with the horse, appreciating the rhythmic movement of such a powerful animal as we soar over a jump.

However, I completely
Today, I am writing my college essay, an essay that has my very future on the precipice of success and mediocrity, on surfing. If someone had told me five days ago this would be my topic, I would have applied to the first dead end job that crossed my path. What did I know about surfing? Five days ago the answer was nothing, and, proudly, today that answer has changed. Since my first time touching a surfboard I have ridden my first wave and gotten my first mouthful of sand. The glorious part is that
Hall University Essay: Personal Statement The first time I demonstrated a love for horses was when I watched the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
