Undergraduate / Undergraduates essay to UCF [5]
Prompt:
2. How has your family history, culture or environment influenced who you are?
4. What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the UCF community?
So, I am hoping to receive a critique on this because I just don't know how I feel about it...THANK YOU!
"Lights, camera, action!" I yell to my cousins as we film the closing scene for our sequel to the film "Zoolander." John, our makeshift Zoolander, wearing a tight pair of bell-bottoms and pink t-shirt, courtesy of my sister Emily, repeats the closing line to our short film with the excitement from his face fading into disinterest. Suddenly, I realize that the fate of our films rests in this last take's delivery as the second our star loses interest, he will inevitably take the rest of our four person cast and crew with him, and tell him very seriously, as I am a year older than him, that he needs to say the line correctly...or else. He delivered the line perfectly.
Of course the movie we made ended up being outright nonsense that we still look to as cinematic genius that will forever go unsurpassed by everyone. But, the fact of the matter is that these group projects that we did together have had a profound effect on the person that I have become.
From directing I gained skills in leadership-understanding how to assert jurisdiction over my peers without being forceful or dictatorial, and as a result, I believe I have truly learned how to work gracefully when put into a group work scenario. While from being apart of the cast I have learned how to work with my peers when put into difficult situations and have greatly developed my abilities to understand the opinions of colleagues without being judgmental or harsh, and to be considerate of those I am working with.
My family has had a huge impact on the person that I have become-learning to work with each other, discovering how to become outgoing with my sister when we moved, or gaining my desire to help people and make a difference in my community due to my grandmother's philanthropist work.
Because of the impact my family has had on me, I am prepared to make a difference in the UCF community and further develop who I am alongside my sister, Emily, who is currently attending UCF.
