Undergraduate / Living place / chosen community - University of Brown Application - Supplement Writing Questions [4]
Hello everyone! This is the first thread that I have ever made on this forum.
Anyhow, applications are due November 1st. To my surprise, these small questions with a limit of 100 words have actually been the toughest part of the application, and I wanted your feedback in order to know whether or not I have done these first two correctly and well. Any type of support is appreciated since I am extremely nervous about my applying to such a prestigious school and I want my essays to be top-notch!
"Tell us where you have lived - and for how long - since you were born; whether you've always lived in the same place, or perhaps in a variety of places. (100 word limit)"
I was born in Baptist Hospital of Miami in 1998. When I think of Miami, tall buildings, excitement, and liveliness come to mind. My parents, however, saw Miami as a city riddled with crime and ultimately decided to move about 150 miles north to a smaller town named Cape Coral in 2004. Looking back, I'm very thankful that my parents made that decision. The safe and tranquil environment allowed me stay focused on my education. Overall, I believe that the city played a big role in shaping the motivated mindset that I carry today.
"We all exist within communities or groups of various sizes, origins, and purposes; pick one and tell us why it is important to you, and how it has shaped you. (100 word limit)"
Throughout my high school career I have chosen to challenge myself by taking rigorous courses. In these classes, I have had the pleasure to meet and befriend some extremely intelligent and motivated individuals. In essence, we all have the same goal: to further our education by being admitted to a university. Being surrounded by brilliant minds has kept me driven to accomplish that goal. There's no other group that I would rather be a part of, because I know that these are the people who have bright futures and are going to do something meaningful with their lives.
Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate it.
