Undergraduate / My girlfriend. This girl changed me as a person. Penn State Personal Statement [7]

Hey guys, this is my first time posting on here. I just finished writing my rough draft for my Penn State's personal statement. Any comments or feedback are greatly appreciated. Srry if my writing isn't that great since i'm an foreigner lol

April 4th, 2016 was the day that will forever be printed on my memories. You might ask "why?". Well that day was the day that I met my high school sweet heart and my soul mate. Although it might sound stupid and cliché for me to say this at the age of 16, but the feeling I had was indescribable and incomprehensible for my pure and naďve mind.

She and I went to different schools. When I said "met", I meant through social media. I messaged her and it all took off from there. We couldn't stop talking to each other. She was like an addictive drug that makes me want more, but in a good way of course. After a talking to her for a while, we decided that it was time for us to meet each other properly in person. Using my old and rusty bike, I biked two miles to her school. I was amaze at how stunning she looked. She was this charming and beautiful girl that I couldn't seem to cease staring and admiring. It was rainy and windy that day so we just walked around her school and talk about our lives. Her alluring appearance wasn't a match for her personality as the more we talked that day. The day passed by so quickly. That was the start of something special. I biked to her school twice every week to see her even if I was quite busy. And when the time was right, I asked her and she told me "Yes". So many emotions rushed through me, and the rest was history

This girl changed me as a person. She pushed me to become the best Hai that I can be. She taught me to always keep my chin up every day, even in the worst situations. She taught me to be resilient, to run head on against my issues. Most important of all, she gave me my first experience of what love feels like. She saw me perfect through my imperfections. My parents advised me sometimes that how talking to her might be a distraction toward my education, but it's quite the opposite. She motivated me to become better, to always improve. This girl is incredibly gifted academically wise and I look up to her. Through my time being with her, not only my grades went up, my moral and emotional states improved significantly and my take on life changed.

My girlfriend taught me so many valuable values that one should possess. I know that with her presence, I have the strength to achieve anything. With her impacts and my newly positive take on life, I know that I will be able to success at Penn States studying computer engineering.

@chizy7
The word limit for the personal statement was 500, mine is at 497 right now

@holt

Sorry, i forgot to include the prompt. Here is the prompt:

Please tell us something about yourself, your experiences, or activities that you believe would reflect positively on your ability to succeed at Penn State. This is your opportunity to tell us something about yourself that is not already reflected in your application or academic records. We suggest a limit of 500 words or fewer.

And thanks for your input. I'll try my best to fix this essay up! :)
