Undergraduate / My Sandpaper Palms / COMMON APP - ELABORATE ON one activity [3]

please edit
i know its kinda sloppy:/

For two years neither lotions nor oils fix my dilemma--my hands are always hard. Soaps and chemicals have turned the texture of my palms to sandpaper.Why? I am a dishwasher at my school.

As students hurriedly leave the cafeteria, the stacks of dishes rises and so too does my pleasure. I put on my apron and start scrubbing, but for me its not just a job : it's a way to thank my mother and my school. After class and on weekends when i enter the kitchen i gain a new perspective through the eye of a staff member.

To me it doesn't matter if my hand are hard, it shows my hard work and commitment to my job.

Undergraduate / notation:U VA supplement : College of Arts and Sciences [3]

College of Arts and Sciences: What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?
could you please help me edit

Since elementary school one concept has been pounded into my head--there is only one answer to math question and many to a english question. But is this really true? No.

During AP Calculus a new term shattered this notation: ∞. Initially i couldn't understand how the answer could be a symbol meaning basically anything. But these past months I have adopted it into my work and utilized in in solving limits and equations.

That infinity symbol represents my growing knowledge in mathematics, which will flourish at UVA.

"My mother is a fish"; UVA SUP/ Literature that surprised me

College of Arts and Sciences: What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?

As i immersed myself in As I Lay Dying my eyes halted at a phrase--- "My mother is a fish." This line uttered by a child could either mean that his mother had gills and traveled with Nemo, or she was simply nonexistent. As we flip through the pages of any novel our interpretations are never bounded.

On the other hand, math is a different story. Since elementary school one concept has been pounded into my head;there is only one answer to a math question. But this isn't always true. Like Literature, math has its own open term that shatters this notion: ∞

Initially during calculus I couldn't understand how an answer could be a symbol meaning basically anything; but these past months I have adopted it into my work and utilized in solving limits and equations.Though ∞ is nothing like that child's words it took me by surprise and weaseled itself into my everyday life.

That infinity symbol won't allow me to swim through the ocean;instead, it will lead me to a campus where I can walk among intellectual people. It represents my growing knowledge in mathematics, which will only flourish at UVA.
