Beauty Within I will never forget the fairy tales relayed to me as a child. These magnificent stories my parents read to me, were the only thing I enjoyed about bedtime.

My SAT score and GPA may not stand out or shine compared to the other applicants. I didn't have a wonderful high school experience like many of my peers did.

The score was tied, three to three. It was late in the third period. My opponent and I were physically tired and mentally drained. For the past five and one half minutes we had given each 150%, pushing each other beyond human limits. This is what my opponent and I spent the entire season traini...
"My Mother" It took me nineteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life.

I come from a culturally diverse background. In a neighborhood full of projects, you could basically call it ghetto. It wasn't a rough town but it was it pretty bad to grow up in. There are gangs and drug fiends that surround my hood to this day. I could've chosen that path, but that was the easy ...
Personal Statement My mother often comments in my personality by saying that I am different from others since my infancy, who started to run before having learned to walk, and who hurried to run as soon as I was out of my mother`s hand. And I fell again and again but never ...

Another reason was I want to get a better education other than just a High School Diploma. ...
