My UGA Qualities

I'm not very good at writing essays... So help me out, please.

After reviewing my application, I'm sure you're aware that I am not a prestigious academic scholar like the majority of the applicants. I don't have a 3.8 - 4.0 GPA. I don't have any honorary awards. I'm not the leader of various clubs. I don't play a sport. I'm not active in my community. Basically, my stats aren't as competitive as the other applicants. So what qualities that I possess could possibly add value to your community? To be honest, I don't know.

Throughout my high school years, I haven't been putting in maximum effort when it came to my grades and my life outside of school. I didn't get many chances to participate in extracurriculars. When I had a chance, I didn't take it because I was afraid. I wasn't active in my community because I was afraid of it. As I look back, I ask myself, 'What was I so afraid of?" Honestly, I think I was afraid of the challenge. I was afraid of failing. However, by not doing these things, I've already failed myself. I'm stuck with mediocre applications, with my essays being my only hope. Now, I have to face the challenge of getting into college.

I do possess individual qualities that could be beneficial to UGA such as my creativity through my creative writing, my honesty, and my determination, but I do not believe it is enough. If I am accepted, I wish to use my time at UGA to try to gain more qualities. Using this, I will be able to add real value to your community. Even if I'm not accepted, I'll be able to add add to wherever the road takes me.
