Undergraduate / ' The loss of Anoninmity' - An Issue of Importance to Me [3]

'Anonymity' is how this is spelled.

One thing that continues to shock me is our continuous loss of privacy; every day Two words here.--- a little more erodes and falls ...

No longer do we have the privacy to do our deepest thinking without the intrusion of someone or something. G eorge Orwell called the loss of our freedom to think privately "Thoughtcrime" in his novel "1984."

For most of my teenage life I have personally experienced just how intruded on, our privacy has become.

A program of that scale, quite frankly scares the daylights out of me, because I know that some day in the near future it will be impossible to be Anonymous.

I know it would be hard for me to live one day without my iPhone, even knowing that it tracks and stores my location whereabouts.

In the end, I know my information means nothing as long as I am...

Pretty thought provoking essay!

Good luck with school and have fun!

Undergraduate / According to Henry David Thoreau, 'One is not born into the world to do everything' [2]

Although I did not invent any of these things, I can still impact the world in a different way, by giving underprivileged children the opportunities that I had.

They deserve not only an excellent education, but a wide choice of extracurricular activities, such as, ---No comma here.--- a variety of sports, music and art.

It is for these reasons that I believe the University of Maryland is best for me.

This is coming along great, but I think it would be even better, if you mention something at the end of the essay about what Thoreau said. That would tie it all up nicely. Good luck in school and have fun!

Writing Feedback / 'Baby Tiger' - Analyzing an Advertisement [2]

As time goes on, the number of problems faced by conservationists continues to cultivate.---I could definitely be wrong, but 'cultivate' doesn't seem like it's the right word here.

...have become significant threats against our planet in recent years, driving protection societies to plead more desperately than ever for acknowledgement and support.---This is a great sentence!

The t iger population has been rapidly decreasing in recent years, falling as much as 97% in the past century.

Her slight crouch and intent focus on the leafy floor indicates that she's preparing to pounce at something,...

This puts emphasis upon the center of the image, where the girl stands;...

The presence of the girl, the target of a gun, already aims ---This, right after 'the target of a gun' seems a little bit like a pun...it seems out of place in so serious an essay. I might just be a little too picky, but it did catch my attention. :)

Undergraduate / 'become a globally great engineer' - Why I want to study engineering and why at Duke [3]

Throughout my life I was always the girl who loved to do things that others my age hated.

For example, when I was younger I loved watching W heel of F ortune and WhoW ants to be a M illionaire.

Personally I could never see myself doing the same job every day---'Every' and 'day' are 2 words here--- for years and years.

With engineering there would be a new task every day and I could use my creativity and my knowledge to complete those tasks and solve problems.

Additionally, working in the engineering field would keep my mind sharp and me abreast of global issues.

Good essay! I think you use the word 'engineer' many many times, but other than that, it's fine. Good luck in school and have fun!

Scholarship / Help with finishing up a Scholarship Essay for the Cybersecurity Program [2]

During my senior year in high school, I made a promise to my dying grandfather, that I would forever try and make him proud by establishing our family name, Perez, so that people could always remember.

I made this promise at the time so that he would fight to live.

It was our last night, and everyone else had already given a lesson in the preceding weeks;...

... I could not decide/figure out (?) what I liked best, what I was most passionate about.

The English class I took during my junior year was really more of a philosophy class, and I fell in love with the subject.

As I move through life, I hope to continue to ad venture beyond the ordinary, to grow intellectually and to help others to grow with me-...

Aside from the alluring nature of this topic, the emissions generated during its operation posea major threat to the environment and this impact is felt throughout the globe in the way of depleting the ozone layer and creating unsafe pollution.

This innovation will help reduce further depletion of the ozone layer, hence curbing the ailments that arise from the ultraviolent rays emitted by the sun, and it will also improve the productivity of most developing countries that depend on power generating plants for energy generation through minimal consumption of fuel, thus ameliorating the economy of such countries. ---This sentence is very long and a little bit confusing.

Undergraduate / 'Olympic Weightlifting' - Stanford Common App Extracurricular Elaborated [2]

At the coercion of my PE teacher, I started Olympic Weightlifting during my freshmen year.

I found lifting empowering, and the seniors in the weight room were kind as well as motivating.

Weightlifting has made me more confident by strengthening my belief in myself and in my body.

Where it says,...'medaling at two of them'...should this say, 'winning medals at two of them? It doesn't sound right the other way, but as I don't lift weights, I'm not sure. But I don't think 'medaling' is actually a word. This is really cool though, that you are involved in this!

Undergraduate / 'wanted to be a mechanical engineer' - Stanford - Intellectual Vitality [2]

At age 11, I was given a drawing table just so I could sketch and design vehicles that l liked, as well as abstract cars.

Here, I was able to see and analyze the specifications of each vehicle and see what made each car unique.

During June 2011, I attended a program called Operation Catapult, at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

I am highly grateful for the opportunity of attending this program, for my experience was one I could take and utilize towards my goal and throughout my life.

It gave me the chance to collaborate with fellow engineers and to be hands-on and interactive with my project; an opportunity I would never have thought of having.

I was curious as to what I could do in order to make a transition from the use of gas in vehicles to alternative fuels such as algae.

Engineering is like a jigsaw puzzle where I have to try multiple pieces multiple ways until that unified, cohesive picture comes together.---Great sentence!

This is a well written and well thought out essay. Good luck in school and have fun!

Undergraduate / 'The beauty as represented by society' - UNC-W National Concern [2]

This warped perception of what a beautiful person is , does not stop with the media, it is also brought into school.

I feel that a huge segment of America's population has been brainwashed into believing that they are not attractive if they do not have the same characteristics as the heavily retouched images of celebrities in magazines, and this is a growing problem.

Regular people are exposed to this behavior every day ---Every day is two words here.--- by the fashion industry; especially high fashion models on the runway.

Eating disorders are also common among male models who are under the same pressure to be thin.

Lastly , society's beauty standards are affecting the way an immeasurable number of individuals display themselves.

I witness this behavior every day , with males making cruel remarks to girls because of the way they look and females who are embarrassed to go out in public wearing no make-up.

You've made some very good points! This is coming along fine. Good luck in school and have fun!

I had thought of it as torture, what my parents used to do to me, trying to teach me to ski.

I never believed that repeatedly tumbling down a hill and suffering at the bottom, ice cold and shaking, could ever lead up to becoming one of the most important aspects of my life.

As soon as I learned how to keep my feet underneath me, the slippery and torturous slope was transformed into a comforting place, a soft white home away from home, and that feeling hasn't changed for fifteen years.

I was without any ambition or objective in life until I graduated secondary school in Canada.

So I went back to Korea to find out myself, my dream and future.

Especially I had an especially unforgettable time while learning English interpretation.

It was an extremely harsh situation for many students.

I need to improve my social skills such as leadership, responsibility and the spirit of team work.

Transferring to a university is an essential step towards my goal.

Not many selections are available because there are not many instructors.

As I wanted to widen my knowledge, reading books has been a preferable way of doing it.

I enjoy participating and working together in extracurricular activities.

Being with students with a strong will to achieve their goals would provide a good environment in which to study.

Their plastic teeth glittered with superficiality .---I love this!

My day of babysitting did not only consisted of playing Barbies; I did the girls' makeup and hair, painted their nails, and finished the day with a game of dress up.

On some level, I felt like I was reinforcing the stereotype of women as shallow, and breeding them to be eye candy.

I did my best to keep the girls pleased, while at the same time, staying true to my own set of values.

I felt an overwhelming urge to erase all gender stereotypes and preconceived notions of what girls "should be" and what they "should look like", but I had to acknowledge the factthat my role was to babysit these girls, not baptize them.

...heard used by various feminist groups, because they would also be pretty intelligent, p retty resourceful, and pretty caring.

Nobody is smarter than you, and even if they are, what good is a third party perception for more than just a basis of a inquiry?

Everyone makes a mistake or misunderstands and then learns from evaluation, as this is the foundation of progress.

...third party interjections must be authenticated with first hand interaction with the subject of interest.

At the time thatWhen an individual makes a decision influenced by an ideology of indirect conclusion, he is susceptible to an unseen agenda.

When a belief is held and found to be false, the next proactive step is to reevaluate the context of the misinformation and blow the whistle; rectify truth.

You are an amazing writer! This is so well thought out and set up, that it looks more like a professor wrote it than a student. You have a great way with words and an interesting writing style. Thanks for breaking up my day with something great! Good luck in school and have fun!

I was whisked away to the land of opportunity when I was 10, an age defined by an unquenchable desire for knowledge, as well as an obsession with fitting in.

Even though we were poor, my mom worked tirelessly, ten hours a day, to support her only child.

She never cracked under the weight of all the responsibilities on her shoulders .

... decided to apply to an American university in 2008 to further pursue her education in her quest to conquer all things American.

...financial stability, and the comfort and happiness of her day to day life, to give me and opportunity to put all my dreams into motion, carpe diem, or in my case, захватить день.---I love this! You are an excellent writer.

She forged the path for me and demonstrated the rewards of hard work, and with that, she is the sole person who has truly influenced me.

I don't want to waste my life away, but to educate myself so that one day, my own child will look up to me...

Your essay is very well written, heart-felt and interesting. Also, it's a great tribute to your mom. Good luck in school and have fun!

Undergraduate / UVA: One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Five People You meet in heaven [2]

After reading the book, I sought a proof by approaching others: I could conquer loneliness and live a loving life.

I saw many dear faces that I had not seen in years, and I went on family trips that I used to cancel because of heavy school work.

--------------------------------

Having to say goodbye to people and places so often, I feared that my life would look like a bunch of fragments, each looking so beautiful and unique, but making no sense when put together.

But after he died in an attempt to save a child about to die on a broken ride, Eddie met five people that have affected his life fundamentally.

... maintenance job: keeping the visitors safe at Ruby Pier.

Having understood that he played crucial roles in the lives of others and has lived a worthy life, Eddie finds his own...

Now I'm going to have to read this book, (5 People). Here is all I could find to edit, though one or two were only suggestion. Well written! Have fun in school!
