Undergraduate / Hot tea and Lifetime movies - MIT essay [NEW]
Attribute you most proud of. 200-250 words.
guys I need your help to correct it. I don't have anyone to edit it. Thanks
Of all my qualities, how it may sound I take a great pride in my inability to play chess. Yes, I cannot play chess and I proud of it.
On my winter holidays in tenth grade I visited my grandparents who live in the rural village. During two weeks I had spent there, from rise to dusk I played chess with my grandfather.
Holding hot tea I stared at my opponent. He plunged into thoughts and smiled. Grandfather moved one of his white figures and loudly claimed " Checkmate!". I lost once again. "You should think about your opponent's next moves and their causes" said grandfather every time I lost. This holiday was great lesson in defining me. I realized I could not play chess. Although at first it seemed as my dearth then I considered it from another perspective.
With the good sense of humor I see Life as my opponent cross the table and every unexpected movements of my enemy gives all the pleasure to the overall game. Never taking Life's "moves" too seriously I thrive myself upon challenges that may waiting for me. I value the suddenness of Life's events and prefer to be ready to face any of them.
Although I do not know what kind of "events" Life prepared for me, but perhaps I will be sole student in MIT class of 2018 who cannot play chess.
