Undergraduate / Amherst common app supplement essay, need help revising it! [6]
Life is full of difficulties and just approaching it, is consider an
achievement. In addition, the achievement will be more satisfying
because of the difficulties encounter through the process. In high
school, getting good grades were the top priority for my parents,
however, it calls for so much work.
I was in honors classes and AP classes throughout the four years,
but it was very difficult to keep my grades above average. Hence, the
high expectations from both of my parents caused me stress and
pressure that were immeasurable. I went through many sleepless nights,
disappointments, obstacles, but, at the end I was able to get through
high school by the support from my parents, friends and teachers.
Thus, I tried to be active in and out of school to keep me one hundred
percent sociable. I was molded by the happiness and the obstacles that
I went through to get to this point, where opportunities are unlimited.
Right now the difficulty of filling out college applications is
driving my mind wild. The comparison of good and bad colleges, the
college my parents want me to go to, and the college I want to go with
my friends are just some of the problems. However, I also had to
consider my reach schools and safety schools.
My college counselor told me just to get everything together and the
rest is just about organizing the information together. Yet, I still
feel unease about the quality of my college essay after three
conferences with my English teacher. However, the difficulty of the
college application does not foreshadow my despair because I know the
college application is a process every high school seniors go through
in their life and our hopes are high. I believed by doing my best in
writing the college essay, SAT, SAT subject test, and the last year of
high school I will get into a college of my choice. Hence, after the
acceptance letter I will feel more proud of myself and the
achievements because of the difficulty of the process. In addition,
difficulties bring us hope and the best of us out.
