Writing my college entrance essay

Posted on September 23, 2007 by probabilityZero

I’m in the process of writing my essay according to the UC prompts.

Prompt one is: “Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community, or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.”
Prompt two is: “Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you.”

I don’t really like the first one all that much, but the second one is easy enough to respond to. Once I’m done I might put it up here and ask for feedback or something.

About probabilityZero

I'm a rather boring, geeky college student. Most of my time is spent at a computer, reading a book, or sitting in (mostly uninteresting) classes. My hobbies include reading, blogging, creating and running websites, creating amateur video games, arguing incessantly on discussion forums, and buying books on amazon.com because I'm too lazy to go to the library.

    I wish ours were this good. Topic A, for me, was something like “Tell us about a person in your family who has changed your life”, and Topic B was “Describe an issue that affects you, your family, or your generation.” I wish colleges came up with better topics, harder topics — although this would probably disadvantage anyone who doesn’t like to write :(
