Examples Of What I Am When I Am Californian

318 Words2 Pages

One thing I know that sets me apart from other candidates applying to the University of California is that my actions have always been the way I express who I am. Many people feel they have to go over and under to explain to people how they are as a person. Yet, I don’t seek to be understood, I allow my actions to tell who I am. I have never had to explain to anyone how kind or determined I am. I show them by smiling in the halls and saying goodmorning, opening the doors for people walking by. Making conversation with the kids everyone else ignores. Letting that young lady know she dropped her wallet. Returning that young man's phone he left on the table. Studying day and night and going above and beyond with whatever is thrown in my direction.

  • See On Your Application

    556 Words  | 3 Pages

    Journal #2 The purpose of the article,“What Colleges Want to See on Your Application” by Emily Driscoll, is to discuss what would differentiate future college applicants in a pool of indistinguishable applications and to aid them in their quest for higher education. This article does have bias in that the author fails to consider Seniors, or students about to graduate from high school, who have neither challenged themselves nor engaged in their neighborhood. Driscoll assumes that their audience has been through every step from community service to recommendations, or has the opportunity to make up for lost time. In the article “What Colleges Want to See on Your Application,” Emily Driscoll discusses the contents the best application must display.

  • Explain Why People Come To California

    427 Words  | 2 Pages

    Why do people come to california? Though people come to california for many, many reasons, the main reason people are attracted to this diverse state is the tales of success that are told. Many migrants came here in a hurry, expecting a better, easier life than the one back home, but most were disappointed. An example of this is the Great Migration, a large movement of African Americans from the American South, when many families moved away from the Jim Crow laws that segregated and oppressed them, and also looking for higher wages and better jobs in large cities. An example of this is shown in the article “The Warmth of Other Suns” when Isabel Wilkerson claims that they were “Not unlike anyone who ever longed to cross the Atlantic or the

As it relates to The University of Southern California, public sphere describes the shared social reality of the school’s staff and students alike, in addition to the values and purpose that it instills in all of its members.
