Undergraduate / No one is born an Einstein; Influential essay commonapp [4]
Hi everyone,
If any of you would like to, please look at my essay below and correct any mistakes. It is on an influential person for the CommonApplication Personal Essay
Title: Special Soul
Some people are born different when it comes to education; so was I. No one is born an Einstein, but generally children start to get a grasp of the education material at a fairly young age. It would not have happened so in my case if I did not have this special person to show me the right path in life. Most people in the world at least have one subject in school they did not like when they were younger, and the case for me was mathematics. I did not like mathematics when my age was less than 12 but one math teacher called [name] influenced me in different ways, which I am still thankful for to this very day. He influenced me to pursue my goal of following the field of mathematics, and the reason I enjoy doing mathematics now is because of how Mr. [name] taught me, how he persuaded me to study math and showed ne that math can be interesting at higher levels. I was a below average student when it came to math when I was about 12 years old. The new academic year had started and I thought "oh well, this would be another boring year;" exactly the opposite of that happened, I met Mr.[name] and my life turned around in a split-second. Mr. [name] saw something in me that other teachers did not and he gave me an opportunity, and taught me in a way that it would interest me. From that day on he influenced me to learn more and more math. Mathematics started to interest me in the way Mr. [name] had taught me; he just hooked me to learn more, and only because of that I was able to learn individually with him and now I like to learn math and do courses in math that are not even in the course of high school. I only learn math now because it makes me happy, and I find math fun to learn now. Every time I look at my reflection in the mirror, I think of him, without him I would have not been the person in the mirror; instead I would have been a different person.
I hid the name for legal reasons.
Please guys, ANY help would be great! :) Grammar, topic suggestions, anything
Thanks a lot guys :D
