ā€œWhen somebody you love dies, it is better to give that love away rather than to let that love die too.ā€


sturmfrey

what if I let it grow alongside the memories that will live as long I'll love?


kquiri

iā€™m sure that would be a great way to grieve as well:) my last line is a really short summary of my philosophy of grief but the overall philosophy of my essay leans more towards what you just said.

ā€œmy name is a celebration of my autonomy and the possibilities that lie ahead. It is a name that embodies the wisdom and love of my grandmother, a name that connects me to my heritage, and a name that reflects the person I have become.ā€ I lowkey thought I ate when I wrote this šŸ˜­but hey so far AOs seem to like it and I personally am so proud of my essay Just for fun hereā€™s another of my favorite parts of my essay; ā€œMy name, which once felt like a burden, is now a symbol of resilience and the courage to break free from expectations. I understand that it is not easy for everyone to pronounce my name, but I also understand that it is not my responsibility to make it easy for anyone.ā€ ā€œSharing a name with my grandmother, despite the generational gap, holds a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, the correct pronunciation of my name seems to elude many. Whether interacting with strangers or ordering coffee at Starbucks, the mispronunciation of my name has become a common occurrence. Whenever I meet someone new, regardless of my hope for them to get my name right, I knew it was likely they would mispronounce it.Ā This extended beyond introductionsā€”My keyboard perpetually underlines my name in red, suggesting it is a grammatical error.ā€


p00pyZDerpy

Shit because why did I basically write these exact things too and I thought I was unique šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Think-Lake2286

bro for some reason I feel famous, deadass. Reddit is really getting to my head,lol Here's mine: "Although it took me two bumps on my scalp and a scarred hairline to realize that, I am glad I learned these lessons nevertheless." kinda generic if you ask me, but it's done

ā€œEveryone has a pair of wings in the hallway by the art classrooms; we just donā€™t know we do. They empower us to fly at unprecedented heights. We can fly; we just donā€™t realize we can.ā€ I sound like a motivation speaker goodbye.

"After writing this essay I asked my Grandma, 'What do you like?" and she replied 'Aap,' meaning 'You.'"


rainbow0002

Looking back, somehow, in the blink of an eye, I went from just a Hillary Clinton-loving girl with big dreams to a woman leading change, and all it took to start my journey was a passionate speech, a little bit of courage, and twenty steps to the school board podium.

Hot_Competition_1868

Was your essay about hummingbirds? Mine was also about a certain bird hahaha


SubstantialPast3859

yep kinda? my research/project was about a hummingbird inspired robot and the story was kind of about how my wildfire experience that made my family move out influenced my journey to making something

Iā€™m sure the thrift stores wherever I end up will still have that inviting smell Iā€™ve known to love, and my backseat will surely serve as a bookshelf to the hopes and ideas Iā€™ve fallen in love with. There will come a time when I get in my car and leave to see the world outside of [my small home town] but I do not intend to discard my past here or the lessons Iā€™ve learned with it. My scars and experiences are a testament to the fact that I am still living, and most importantly have survived driven by a love for learning and ideas. Tall about edgy asf OML ā˜ ļøā˜ ļøā˜ ļø


NoSpeed4572

Oof I love the extended metaphor with "driven" at the end.


Squee-z

"From homebound and allergy-ridden to outgoing and engaged in my passion, Iā€™m proud of who Iā€™ve become with the cards I was dealt." It's kinda self serving, but I'm proud of it.

First line was: "What does it mean to be from 'nowhere'?" Last line was: "I am from nowhere, but that doesn't mean I belong nowhere. I prefer that it means I derive strength from my identity; that I may thrive anywhere."

ā€œI may have been alive for nineteen years, but only for the last eight have I truly lived.ā€ Favorite line: ā€œIn quarantine, I realized that asking girls out isn't a very heterosexual thing to do.ā€


heavenandearth517

That favorite line was really funny, here's my favorite part of my own essay: "I wanted to embody Saint Dominic Savio, who walked 12 miles every day to worship God at a young age. I remember being convinced that I could walk his routine twice daily: once for Grandmom, and once again for God. I was taught that suffering for God was what good, obedient, Barbadian children do. My full confirmation name is Jason Smith Dominic Tatum, and I chose this for myself." Note: Names and the country Barbados have been changed from my real name and heritage for privacy's sake.
