I used a fun font because I am getting really sick of size 12, Times New Roman font. I put “Kanye West” as a response to this on my USC application last year; I’m not going to do that here. First word: animated. I often describe myself as an eight year old because I often display childlike excitement and verve for life. I talk with my hands and I run around to tell stories; I love storytelling and entertaining people; I talk a million miles per hour in at least 14 different pitches because I’m just exploding in “talking excitement”; I end up swallowing my entire tongue because it cannot handle the pace at which my mouth would like to move. Recently, my friend Shayne informed me I “freak people out” in AP Literature because of how fast and excitedly I talk, but I like being excited and funny and probably a little prone to hyperbole. “Animated” …show more content…
I’m a theatre nerd. I run Urban Lemmings - which I’ve been a part of for three years - I participate in the fall plays and musicals, I’m on the board of the International Thespian Society and recently, I tore apart the bookcase in Mrs. Vail’s classroom and spent two-and-a-half hours reorganizing it because it was a mess. I love theatre. Vail has to stop my friend Jackie and I from answering questions about plays because we actually know things about shows and want to share our passion with our peers. Outside of that, this year, I’m the President of the French Club at Hamilton. I want to explore the world and I appreciate French language and culture. Similar to Urban Lemmings, this year I want to do something more with the club this year than just eat baguettes. As for awards, I’ve won a couple National Youth Theatre awards, been nominated for a few more. This summer, I went to Washington DC and let body become 95% sweat to compete in the National History Competition. We “lost,” but our whole project rhymed and I had a cat tail -- we did Dr. Seuss -- so who really
I am apart of every club in the school and I am going to keep that record. A new club just popped up and it is called the glee club. It's a show choir and I just so happen to have the best voice anyone has ever heard. I like to call myself the labra tiesan of the new generation.
It is a great honor to be considered for membership in the National Honor Society. Since I was a sophomore, my ambition was to study diligently to be amongst the highest students and to be accepted into this scholastic "hall of fame". Getting considered indicates that I have met my goal of exhibiting my thrive and willingness to assist people in my community, so becoming a part of this distinguished institution is a huge responsibility to which I will commit my whole attention. While my GPA demonstrates my dedication to academics, how I spend my time and behave outside of school demonstrates my dedication to making the world a better place. Through my unwavering hard work and perseverance, I feel that I possess the four characteristics of
On September 8, 2008 I arrived to the hospital at six o 'clock in the morning to get induced to have my first daughter due to a blood clot I had in my leg. The nurses first told me to change into a gown. Shortly after they hooked me up to the monitors to hear the baby moving all around. Also to track her cute little heartbeat. Another one was to monitor my contraction and watch them on the screen.
Yearly, we have a college musical production that I always willingly take part in. Previously, I played the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland, I played Blousey Brown in Bugsy Malone and most recently played Lonny in Rock of Ages. This was the most challenging experience for me as my character was the narrator of the piece so it was my job to ensure the show ran smoothly as I had to amend any mistakes. By being involved within clubs at school has enabled me to enhance my skills in particular areas like singing, musical theatre and varied styles of dance. I have also been involved within amateur productions outside of school such as playing the character of Susan in the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.
I performed in every show I could, painted, did run-crew, made props, helped with costumes, ushered, watched as many shows as possible, and became intensely involved in my school’s Thespian Society, ultimately serving as Thespian Co-President. I took advantage of every opportunity, involving myself in around twenty-five shows between my freshman and senior years. I relished every minute of it. I lived in my school’s auditorium, but I would not trade those experiences for the world. Being involved in numerous shows, often simultaneously, my passion grew still further.
Since the beginning of high school, I have joined numerous of clubs that widely range from music performance to publication. An extracurricular activity that I am passion about the most is French Honor Society. I’ve learned French since I started to learn my mother language- Vietnamese. The country of baguette fascinated my artistic aspect. Everything about this country is magnificent, from the beret to La Tour Eiffel.
"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported." I wish that I had that "someone." I'm always that person for someone else, but when it comes to me, where are those people that I need to show me that I am cared for and supported?
Mock trial has been a journey for me, marking both my experiences and my growth, as well as helping me choose a path for myself. Becoming an accomplished public speaker allows me to feel confident in my ability to succeed, and in my ability to advocate for myself. Mock trial allowed me to push my boundaries and to strive for something that required significant effort, for the first time letting me experience both success and failure in a higher stakes environment outside of academics. I joined mock trial in my sophomore year. The first year created a sense of community and family, and also helped me become more extroverted.
In this situation, I have recently graduated with my business degree and have landed a new position at a company I had been researching during my senior year in college. I have been offered a lump-sum, sign-on bonus of $5,000 and have also recently purchased a new condo and car. My personal debt is comprised of these two new purchases as well as my student loans. When considering my debt reduction and investment earnings potential and any applicable taxes I would personally choose to invest the $5,000 sign-on bonus and pay down my debt. In this example, tax rates are stable over the next 10 years and inflation is low and does not change.
Insanity is a bully, everywhere i would go they would be, maybe not close to me but they’d be there. Insanity decided that we could be friends; however, this made all of my other friends slowly start to leave me one by one. Insanity slowly got closer and closer to me until he was always beside me. The only person that stayed near me was fear, that was only until insanity introduced me to happiness though. We became the best of friends, up until the very end in the comfy white room with all my new friends in white
I’m going to be honest, this is the fourth time I’ve written this essay. I’ll write a good two hundred words or so, thinking this is it, this is the one I’m going to turn in, and suddenly I’ll realise that I really don’t know where I’m going with any of it. You’d think writing five hundred words or less about yourself would be pretty simple, but it isn’t. My problem is that I’ve got it in my head that this is my one big chance to get into my school of choice, which means it has to be perfect.
The night settles in, crisp air wafts through my curtains and sting my lungs as I shallowly breathe in. The couch was lumpy as usual, and the blanket was barely thick enough to protect my skin from the soft rippling breeze. Autumn weather, being my favorite, always reminded me of when I was younger. Autumn meant my mother would want to dress me in puffy dresses and big floppy bows that bounced as I trotted along. Leaves crunching under my small shoes that were buckled all neatly.
Do you have major current issues? I think we all have current issues that should be prioritized than some. We all have a phase in our lives where we are very busy. I for one have no doubt that I am going through this moment.
My Debt I have paid my education through financial aid from Federal institutions, I do not earn enough to pay for my college up front. I have worked at various jobs while attending school to pay for my living expensive but none of that money has been applied to my debt thus far. Also, due to the high cost of living I am unable to make any payments on my loans currently. I’ve tried to make well with what I have for the foreseeable future which is bellow the poverty line.
My dark brown boots had stepped in the puddle. My sparkling blue eyes could tell that it had freshly rained outside. The puddle was cold and seeped through my boots ever so slowly. I could feel the small drops of cool rain on my arms. As I looked ahead, all I saw was a desolate dirt path.
