(no subject)
I SAT DOWN AND JUST WROTE TODAY.
I don't care if its any good now.
But I'm bringing it in to have
Frydenborg read tomorrow and give
me some advice about. I'm proud
because I actually think its a
decent essay for just sitting down
and banging out in like an hour.
i'm now writing my second essay
of the DAY. and completely content.
I’ve always had creative friends. The kinds of friends who sadly make me feel awfully boring. One friend can sit down and write songs and lyrics that are simply amazing. Another can easily paint and sketch to produce magnificent works with the drop of a hat. Then there are the numerous friends who can take out their cameras and capture life in the most impressive and abstract ways. So much creativity meanwhile none produced on my part.
I have always been somewhat average. Surely that’s not a bad thing per say, but it is a little disappointing not to be exceptional at anything. I run cross country and track for my high school, but have yet to win any remarkable awards. I play lacrosse in the spring, but although I am one of four captains, I’m still nothing special. When I sing I don’t compare to the naturally amazing voices of my peers, but I still sing wholeheartedly none-the-less. Although I’m not outstanding at anything specifically, I still live life with a purpose; and that purpose is to live enthusiastically and passionately.
Passionate is defined as having, compelled by, or ruled by intense emotion or strong feeling. Having passion for living, and living for a reason in my opinion is larger than any award. Living an inspiring life for all that it is worth, and having goals just inches above my reach are probably what make me aspire to be who I am; average. But fortunately, being “average” doesn’t get me down, because I know what I’m living for; and that is to make everyone I come into contact with proud of me. I want each and every person I’ve grown up with, every stranger I pass on the street, every inch of my hometown to know my name. Not because I’m exceptional at something specifically, but because I am what I am; an exceptional person.
I am friendly, indecisive, quirky, outgoing, humble, content and probably downright obnoxious. I’m a daughter, a sister, a student, a teacher, a friend. I may be considerably average, but I do know my potential. When searching for a quotation to be put in the yearbook for my senior profile, I did have a bit of trouble deciding. When I chose a quote from the book Cat’s Cradle by author Kurt Vonnegut, I knew right away that living as the excerpt says would be my gift. “Live by the foma [harmless untruths] that make you brave, and kind, and healthy, and happy.” Living life in such a way would be my blessing; living in itself is my blessing. And living life passionately and using all of the potential that I have been blessed with, is my goal for the future. Sure, I may be nothing special at everything I do, and this may make me “average”, but average isn’t so bad, and neither is living. Elbert Hubbard once said, “The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.” So just live.
Seton Hall Short Answer
Growing up in Connecticut, when winter came around, rooting for the UConn Huskies basketball team was the only option available. I knew at a young age that I would either go to UConn and be a Huskies fan, or go to another Big East school to root against them. I remembered the rivalries when it came tournament time; Duke, Tennessee, Seton Hall, etc. Years after I’ve ceased playing basketball and slowly but surely stopped knowing the UConn players by name, it came time for the dreaded college searches. I had seen how meticulous it became when my older brother procrastinated from it, so I had to be mature enough to know what I wanted in a school early on. And with every college search I completed online, Seton Hall was one of the top matches almost every time.
My mother and I visited SHU for the first time in February of 2006 and we both fell in love. None of the other 4 schools I visited that month seemed to even compare to what Seton Hall had to offer me; not to mention my mom liked the fact that it was a nice Catholic school. I visited again in April and nothing had changed. I felt comfortable with Seton Hall from the first time I visited, it has been months since and this university is the pinnacle of where I’d like to go to school. So now, applying to Seton Hall is the only logical choice.
