i had to write a UF admissions essay for my english class....convenient...
this is me finishing it at 1:0 the night before it is due....
By asking a prospective student to describe an event with significant weight in his/her life, I assume you expect tragic half-truths detailing horrendous tragedies and harrowing life-qualifying escapades. Unfortunately, the truth is, traditional suburban upper middle-class doesn’t allow for that. I have experienced my fair share of unique and difficult situations: my mother’s diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis, moving countries in the middle of third grade, and taking the lead for two younger sisters; however, those particular circumstances do not compare to John Doe, whose Mother was diagnosed with On first analysis of this question, the traditional response came to mine, similar to John ovarian cancer and was tragically struck by lightning, only to resurrect. In order to entice you, I will delve deeper and bare bones that you haven’t yet heard mentioned.
My most significant opportunity and challenge faced to date is my own mind. As an opportunity, my mind is the greatest gift God could have ever given me. I read constantly, novels of scholastic worth and dime paperbacks; converse readily with family friends, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and deacons; and teach children, the values that I have been brought up in. There is nothing more I can ask for, but there is an aspect of my psyche that I can, and do, prize more. My creativity. When I apply the term creativity, it is not meant to refer solely to my artesian nature and unique modes of self-expression. It extends into my appreciation for art, movies and popular culture of worth: music, Audrey Hepburn movies, and artwork of fellow students. Too many times have I noticed blank faces in response to contemporary culture references.
When I devote so many syllables to praise of my own mental dexterity, the question is raised of how such a gift can be described as a challenge. Thomas Gray illustrated my view best when he wrote, “Ignorance is bliss.” Intellectual aptitude delegates responsibility to any who inherit the privilege. The hardest path must be sought and slack cannot be allowed. To fulfill this inborn debt, I must strive to take every opportunity to return as much as possible to society. The days of my “tender years” have been numbered since my first words. At an age where you are supposed to be carefree and delighted with the world it is an unwieldy burden to bear.
