Undergraduate / Want to get help on my Common Application Essay: an experience [8]

Besides, I think you can say more about what you get from the experience so that people will consider you not only a creative, but also a good thinker.

By the way, I'm a gril. And could you please help me with my essay? Thanks a lot

Undergraduate / Common app - Italy!! Legend words [8]

Of course no. It's really a good topic, very impressive. Besides, it expresses you very well.
However, the problem is your writing skill. Generally, it's pretty good.
How to improve? Well, I can't come up with any idea.But I can figure out the weaker point.
So I geared up to become the best tourist Italy had ever welcomed - complete with journal, camera, mini-dictionary and sunscreen.
The sun tingled my skin as I strolled along Rome's ancient, cobblestoned roads that dated back to the time of the Roman Empire.

longed to do something significant with my life; to make a difference in the world I live in just as the Romans had.
I came home a changed and inspired person, as if my Italian heritage, with all its stubborn determination, had been awakened in me from my visit to the homeland of my ancestors.

Sorry, I know I don't make a help.

I just think your essay is lack of several important sentences which can link the preceding paragraph. If you do so, it will be much more tense.]

Hope this help.

Undergraduate / Common App Short Answer Green Team! [6]

I have been a member of Green Team for 3 years. We focus on improving the environment as well as educating the community around us about environmental issues and beneficial changes to make in their own lives. I partake in kinds of activities, including the writing of grant proposals and making blankets for the homeless from recycled fabrics. We clean the lakes around Southwest and built walls for a house with Habitat for Humanity. Our members go on trips to educate ourselves about alternative energy, visiting locations like the St. Olaf Wind Turbine and Excel Energy Riverside Plant, and present the information we've learned in workshop. As a part of our mercury workshop, I arranged for Clancy, the country's only mercury detecting dog, to attend. I have learned the power of teaching and how to protect our planet for the future . This year our team received a Student Service Award from the Minnesota Legislature.

Now, exactly 150 words.

But to tell the truth, I think there are too many long and complicated sentences, which make your short answer not very clear. I mean, when people read it, they may stop instead of reading it fluently.

Maybe you can revise them. Anyway, good luck!

Undergraduate / Such A Girl, Such A Dream -- common app essay [6]

To be honest, I'm on your side. But I just can't pick better words.
What if I use 'her baby'? Kind of childish, I think. Or' be more like a lady'? Kind of strange,right?

Considering that having the fittest food is another way to save it, she hopes less grain will be wasted so that more can be sent to poor areas especially Sub-Saharan Africa.

Is this better?

Thanks a lot~!

Is this harvest cultivated by me? Well, I do not know since I have not received any checks or thanks letters yet.

It seems like your complaint. Maybe you should change the way of expressing. I mean a indirect way which can show your modesty and generous.

Anyway, you are really a creative guy~!
Good luck~!

Undergraduate / Such A Girl, Such A Dream -- common app essay [6]

Hi! I'm new here. I just finished my common app essay, but really unsure about it.
Help me, please~! 

Such A Girl, Such A Dream
Born in a small Chinese city which is famous for its highest seated Buddha in the world, however, the girl does not believe in it. She believes, actually, in herself. She believes a girl like her really can become a deal and achieve her dream by her own hard work.

Since there're no other girls in her family, she could only play with two cousins when she was a kid. So when climbing, you might see two boys walk on the hill leisurely. But around ten meters behind them was a little girl chasing strenuously. On the playground, you might find the girl was in a football team running with other boys. In the hot days, you could enjoy the competitions among the girl and the boys in the swimming pool. Obviously, the girl didn't feel there were differences between girl and boy. She just thought that whatever the boys could do, she could do, even better.

All boys' activities ended when the girl's mother thought her girl should be more like a girl. Books and a piano took the place of those boys, accompanying the girl day after day. She gradually got to the habit of reading early in the morning and playing some pieces after dinner. From kinds of books, she got varieties of knowledge. No matter who is the author or what genre is the work, she picks the useful information and keeps it in mind so that one day she can put it into practice. As for her another friend, piano or music indeed, is like a cure. When her fingers are dancing among the white and black keys, the girl forgets all of her problems.

Growing along with the soothing piano songs and inner can-do spirit, the girl graduated from the best junior high school and entered the best class of the best senior high school in her city. During the 9th grade, she took part in the National Math Competition to show her intelligence. Anyway, she prepared hard for it. While other amazing guys studied two hours per day for the competition, she spent twice time learning. Finally, she did it. The girl did get the third prize which she absolutely deserved it. However, she didn't consider it as her biggest achievement. To be honest, she even more appreciated making friends with three other nice girls. It was through their chats, discussions and debates that the girl generally formulated her views of the world and the values of life.

The most important point of the girl's views is health. To persue money, reputation, social position and other alluring objects, people hardly spend time caring for their health. And the ironically ending is when they are old, owning lots of gold, they can never enjoy the gold because of the unhealthy bodies. So the girl entirely agrees to enjoy the life all the time with a healthy body. Believing that right food makes a strong body, she dreams to be a dietitian. Moreover, given the situation in China that the medical expanses are pretty high, she thinks keeping healthy by eating right food is the easiest and the most efficient. Considering that having the fittest food is also another way to save food, she hopes less food will be wasted so that more can be sent to poor areas especially Sub-Saharan Africa. She's really willing to devote herself to the field of human health.

How do I know so much about the girl? Well, I am the girl exactly. I am the girl named Maojia Wang who is confident and ambitious. Besides, I am the girl who would like to put all her enthusiasts to work for human health and be the greatest dietitian all over the world.

--------------------------------------------

Besides, I really think the ending is very weak. How to improve it?
