College Essay Rough Draft: Part Deux

[ofa_revolution]

From the earliest point in a boy’s life, one is able to tell that he is going to be a man, man, a man “wild at heart” as John Eldredge wrote in his 2001 book of the same title. Boys are always running around looking for mischief and excitement. As Eldredge outlines in his book, one can see the three wants of a man that influence his decisions.

i could make this sappy, and mushy, and sentimental-like...so, i'm gonna.

you are a man, but i love that you are a man of God. i love that you strive to be strong. i love that you strive to be faithful. i love that you never let your heart be jaded-that you seek out love in friendships and relationships. mike, as your friend, as your sister, and as a woman--i am so proud to say that i know you. i am so proud to say that you became a true man before my very eyes. i am so blessed to be able to look into your eyes and see the fire within you.

and dang, with that essay, i'd accept you. thanks for being my brother...

(ok. the scary affirmation part is over. you can open your eyes now...)
