Undergraduate / NO TWO PEOPLE ARE THE SAME; FAMU Essay Prompt. [5]

What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the university community?

With Florida A&M University's 13,000+ student population, no two people are the same. Each individual may share one school but all have distinctive characteristics. Qualities that I possess allow me to contribute to the university in a positive way. Diligence is one of the strongest academic characteristic that I possess. Since both of my parents did not attend college, I was always taught to do my best at everything I do and to aim for the top because college is the best way to be successful in life. Seeing what my parents have and what they did not have encouraged me to strive for a better life. As well as diligence, my personality will allow me to contribute to Florida A&M University's community. I savor getting involved with the university's organizations and events. I love the feeling of a family, and I look forward to having the Florida A&M University community be my family.

Undergraduate / FAMU's FUTURE FIRST GENERATION STUDENT....HOPEFULLY......ESSAY PROMPT 2 [5]

Describe an activity, interest, experience, or achievement in your life (this could be a book, a movie, or an activity or experience at work, home, or school) that has been particularly meaningful for you.

Note: This essay can't be more than 250 words.

I have been involved in many activities, had many interests, experienced many things, and had countless achievements in my life. The achievement that was most meaningful to me is writing and self-publishing my very first book. Being around different people with different life experiences inspired me to write a novel that students my age could relate to or be entertained by. My novel "The Life of Kai (Part 1)" was an achievement that separated other students from me. The novel helped me transfer my thoughts along with other people experiences and create this interesting and mind-blowing story. This achievement does not only bring happiness to myself but happiness to my family. Now my mom can say "My son has written a book!" and feel like she is one of the greatest parents in the world.
