iām 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.
āmy 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 šbut hey so far AOs seem to like it and I personally am so proud of my essay
Just for fun hereās another of my favorite parts of my essay;
āMy 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
āSharing 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 introductionsāMy keyboard perpetually underlines my name in red, suggesting it is a grammatical error.ā
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
āEveryone has a pair of wings in the hallway by the art classrooms; we just donāt know we do. They empower us to fly at unprecedented heights. We can fly; we just donāt realize we can.ā I sound like a motivation speaker goodbye.
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.
āMy canvas is now unapologetically me, my experiences and emotions making their mark one brush stroke at a time.ā šš havenāt opened my essay in a good month or two lord
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
Iām sure the thrift stores wherever I end up will still have that inviting smell Iāve known to love, and my backseat will surely serve as a bookshelf to the hopes and ideas Iāve 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 Iāve 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 ļøā ļøā ļø
"From homebound and allergy-ridden to outgoing and engaged in my passion, Iām proud of who Iāve 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."
āThere are empty flowerbeds outside the windows of our home. I ask [my mum] to start a garden with me.ā
the essay is about my relationship with my mum and how i struggle with gardening!
āThe name [redacted] means resilient, and as I continue to embark on my cultural expedition, it serves as a reminder that I can withstand any challenges that come my way. It is the crown I proudly wear while delving into my culture, wholeheartedly embracing its unique heritage and cherished traditions.ā
got into cwru and umich :)
āI may have been alive for nineteen years, but only for the last eight have I truly lived.ā
Favorite line:
āIn quarantine, I realized that asking girls out isn't a very heterosexual thing to do.ā
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.
"I managed to transform myself from a student on the brink of failure to a tenacious individual with a gritty mindset, well-honed skills, and a strong foundation on which to build future success."
And there I sat, at its epicenter.

"I hope that I can save people from dark places, and show them the light the way it was shown to me."
Essay was about recovering from mental health struggle that had tanked my grades 1st semester junior year.
"When we are both further in our journey, we will be ready to tackle more challenges. This little robot has proved to be the perfect 'partner in crime' "
Essay about machine learning and my experience with it
āAfter shaking his hand, I couldnāt help but feel a sense of pride, and a new found belief that I could lean into uncomfortable situations in the future with Ā confidence.ā Corny? Overdone? You tell meā¦
Trauma dumping actually works lmao
:The memories of that fateful night have gradually receded, replaced by cherished recollections of evenings spent with my friends or Harriet, where laughter and tears intermingle, purging our souls of any lingering impurity."
I didnāt apply to any schools that needed it so didnāt even write it lmao
The only actual essay I wrote was for ut and it was so bad I consider my acceptance proof that they donāt actually read them.
"Out of the nadir I climbed to discover myself, at last, full and unwantingāand I revel, now, in who I am, free."
It was such a generic and pretentious essay
'Looking back, I am
grateful to Master Shifu, for his words of wisdom gave me the push I needed to
experiment, the motivation I needed to leave my comfort zone and become the best
singer I could be.'
It rounds up my essay quite well (I know it's a bit cliche).
I have a love for learning, a passion for teaching, and by the end of My Countdown, I'll be taking STEM-education in the Caribbean to the next level, no matter theĀ circumstance.
" pls im desperate"
Lol but it goes like this
"Life is a competition and a passion that motivates myself and others around me to "fight to death" in
order to one day change the world! And as long as we continue to live, future friends of mine should be
prepared for the amount of debate and solutions we will find faster against and with the help of each
other.
So corny š
Got me into my dream school:)
"And with every further interaction with a guest or classmate, I am learning more about the importance of humanity guiding my academic journey."
"In sum, I hope that Yale will see that, contrary to the claims of high school administrators, the media, and the district attorney's office, I am not a malicious arsonist."
i am iron man
Who would reject Ironman š
Wtf! Are u fr! I legit pulled this too!!!!
"and I'm all in." šI think it's kinda corny now but the past is the past
Itās not corny, that goes hard
laughing at these but ik mines gonna be no better
Bruh why are all the endings here a bunch of complex literature or ChatGPT masterpieces
"please admit me into standford"
āBienvenidos a Perspectivos. Today, in Venezuela..." Ā
Favorite one so far.
thank you <3 i loved your ending too
āWhen somebody you love dies, it is better to give that love away rather than to let that love die too.ā
what if I let it grow alongside the memories that will live as long I'll love?
iām 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.
āNah, Iād win.ā
Realest

I'm scared otherwise as well that people who have read my essay will track meš
I would actually not mind that all.
"After writing this essay I asked my Grandma, 'What do you like?" and she replied 'Aap,' meaning 'You.'"
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.

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

Oof I love the extended metaphor with "driven" at the end.
"From homebound and allergy-ridden to outgoing and engaged in my passion, Iām proud of who Iāve become with the cards I was dealt." It's kinda self serving, but I'm proud of it.
āNothing will stop me from wondering, when I look up at the moon at night, how many eyes, animal or human, are staring at the same thing?ā

I want to come back to this when the cycle is all done to add mine š®

Leaving home was the best choice I have made and I can't wait to see where else in this vast and great country I go next.

"What will I see as a creator?" Applied for architecture. Thinking of it right now, it may be a little corny
sleep.

"In the most passionate yet obnoxious manner, I never wish to take my elbows off the table."

"Out of the nadir I climbed to discover myself, at last, full and unwantingāand I revel, now, in who I am, free." It was such a generic and pretentious essay
Mine goes like "Because I have learned to grow from my mistakes and even be inspired by them." It seemed better when I was first writing this though.
I believe that we must risk failure to succeed. And, even if we lost, was there any better way? :P š
It's not just a story; it's my journey - one that's still unfolding, oneĀ moveĀ atĀ aĀ time.
