what the hell fdo you write about in these things. your'e suppoosed to be uniqe and make yourself stand out in the essay but honestly what the hell is there to say my uniqueness can't be summarized on to a piece of paper and if it could i'd better rethink my position at this point. So anyways I don't have any real unique story about falling down a well and everything i think i can come up with is overused, cliche. I mean i'm seventeen years old i've spent the last seventeen years of my life doing the exact same thing everyone else has and maybe theres a few key differences in my story but honestly we all end up in the sme place anyway so why the hell does it matter? What's crazy is that i'm honest about it wha=ich must be hard to come buy because …show more content…
I can imagine everyone getting sore about it and maybe even calling my counseler on my mental state which I like to think is fine but maybe isn't completely but who the hell is. And you can probably tll from this personal statement that i've read a bit too much of the cathcher and the rye and holden caufield has a biginfluence on me and all bhonestly who doesn't understand him. I hate to think that this ruins my chances of continuing my education because i really care i really do. It's just that i don't understand the need to prove my uniquenes s to someone who's probably ore from reding applications all day and theres probably some girl who wrotabout pissing herself and she'll get published as a what you should not do on a college application iv'e even th hell maybe I'm that girl but the fact is i'm not, i'm really not. I guess I'm more concerned with learning that I am with reputtion, i might be lucky enough to end up with both of them. Anyway, that pivital moment in my life was when i decided to just be myself, is now and maybe this might make everyone sore in the review room but it's who I am and I can't fathom the point in pretending to be someone
