Undergraduate / NYU Sups. Why Business, Jackie CHEN!, and summer. [7]

saygoodbyevince
thanks, but you aren't harsh enough! lol

Chan and Chen is the same word in Chinese. I guess I should have used Chan.

anyway, I was sayiny, as in my dad's case, education isnot neccessary. BUT I'm sure it would helped him a lot if he had education.

and I was trying to catch reader's attention... guess that /failed...

about the summer,

Does NYU only wants to know one thing I did and then explain it? or they want a list of things I did...

Poetry / NYU supplement essay: haiku , poems, limericks e.t.c [5]

if it's possible I reccommend you choose another topic perhaps? cause everyone talks about will power.

if you can't think of anything else like most ppl, then stick with it, the second doesn't make sense to me, if you stand above others, hwo can it suddenly become an puzzle that's missing?

anyway, about my UPenn community essay, it's still not clear even after I added

"Among the contributions I will make such as diversity and ideas to the larger Penn community, the best contribution I will make is to actually use what I learned from Wharton. Also I will pass down the knowledge to generations after. Inspired by Why Wharton: What is business? Business is Building Your Own Company - Ari Meisel Interview."

Undergraduate / A Conversation between a granddady and his beloved grakid. UPenn Community Essay [5]

Prompt:Which of the academic communities and social communities that now comprise the University of Pennsylvania are most interesting to you and how will you contribute to them and to the larger Penn community?

I might have missed some of comments you guys made... Well this is my newest version, please read it and feedbacks please!!

Thank you, I will read yours back.

Empty Promising?

*Digging*
"Grandpa, just let the workers do the work, let's go play" my nine year old granddaughter said.
"So, you don't know why I brought you here, Pan (granddaughter)?" I said.
"Nooo" Rolling eyes (shrugs).
*Sigh* "I love Wharton." I told her, eyes closed (reminiscence).
"Ok...?" Pan said in a monotone.
"Hey, guys! I will come back in a minute" I yelled over to the workers.
"No Problem!" The workers responded.
"You know, Pan, this is not the first time I have dug ditches." I told Pan as I led her through the wonderful campus of UPenn.

"I know, Dad told me you actually did the physical work! You were stupid, no you are still stupid." Eyes rolling, finger pointing at me.

(Laugh) "Did your dad and mom tell you why they attend Wharton then?" I asked.
"I don't remember." Pan danced around freely with two arms stretched out.
"You remember Grandpa Meisel?" (2003 Wharton grad).
"Ari Meisel?" Pan asked.
"Correction, Grandpa Meisel." I corrected her.
"What about him?" Pan asked in sarcastic tone.
"It was him, who taught me how to build my own company. No matter what business you are in, you have to understand - by actually doing it - what it takes to do the lowest-level jobs involved in it. People will respect you for knowing what they do on daily basis. This time is a little different though, I want to build this new School of Foreign Languages(diversities) for UPenn with these very two hands." Hands extended out.

"I don't understand."
"Oh, you will when you attend UPenn." I said as we finished our tour around the campus.
Amongst the many contributions I will make, such as diversity of culture and ideas, I believe the most valuable is my enthusiasm for the Wharton School. I will definitely use what I will learn at Wharton to make a difference in society, spreading my knowledge and love for Penn to future generations. As an Asian American, I will fit very well into VPUL's Pan-Asian American Community House(PAACH), a community centers on leadership development. I honestly believe Wharton together with PAACH will shape me into one of the world's top leaders in business. Perhaps when the day come, I will give speeches of inspiration to the larger Penn Community, then when I retire, I will teach Chinese at the newfound School of Foreign Languages.

Faq, Help / Question about EssayForum - How does this site work? [103]

don't worry, just keep on trying. I'm Chinese and I have been a "failure" in English for years. I never know how good/bad my essays were; my teacher never failed me once but I'm not sure if it's because I'm Chinese. Nevertheless I kept on trying, right now I'm in AP English but I still have doubts in my mind if I really deserve to be in that class. So for years I have no clue if my writing is any good... because well you know I thought maybe the teachers are been nice not to fail me since I'm Chinese... that's what I have been thinking for years

Right now I have gained some confidence (all thanks to this website), I just wrote my college essays and posted. The first few ones sucked ( I know from all the comments, and that's why I like this website, honesty and harsh is the key lol ), then the later ones improved. In just a few months (2-3), I think I have improved a lot.

So maybe just write and post away! we will read it.

p/s excuse me if I made any errors, you are always welcomed to point them out - Mistakes are the stepping stones to success!!!

Envie
I didn't speak any English so they might not grade as harsh as they would to other students. I wasn't a Chinese who spoke English.

I don't really know lol, I guess I wasn't very confident about myself.

Poetry / What smile gives witness, proof for you to judge?; First Stab at a Sonnet [17]

Jeannie
the letters are the rhyming patterns

I wrote two for my english class, how about read it and give me some comments too? I have always hated poetry but now I'm starting to like it lol

here is the Italian sonnet

Italian
Love & Hate
Shall I compare love to light, hate to dark? A
Oui, for hatred could cloud peoples' small mind. B
And love is the one to cause people blind. B
Why can love and hate be so alike-hark! A
Attitudes toward each are so unlike & dark. A
Is it easy to understand peoples' mind? B
Or is there a true way of truth to find? B
But one thing is sure, each will leave a mark. A
For love can be sweet until people lie. C
Then death cause people to shed tears of flood. D
Good God! Love is such a spell that binds. E
But hate can be so sad, cause one to die. C
It does not shed deep flood, but tears of blood. D
Devil! Why can you cast the spell that binds! E

Poetry / Limericks or poems. Started to like poetry... maybe [2]

Angel's Decision (Seeking Death)

Shall I compare you to light or fire?
For I'm the petrified moth in desire.
Light? Is that you? Unlikely,
Fire? Is that you? Likely...
Though I still search, for my straits are dire.

Shark

I saw a man reaching for the red moon.
Forty years later, I saw him again at noon.
I was a curious little boy,
Confronted the man with "why?"
"Why not," the man replied, a sharp harpoon.

well I wrote these for college but I couldn't get much comments from the essay thread so I decided to post here.

tell me what you think

Poetry / I will get what I desire. [7]

I will get what I desire
For I'm reaching for the higher
Though, times, I lost sights of the stair
Nevertheless I still acquire
If you think I'm looking for fire
Then you are calling me a liar.
I will get what I desire.

or

I will get what I desire
For I'm reaching for the higher
Though, times, I lost sights of the stair
Nevertheless I still sought
If you think I'm looking for fire
Please lose that thought
I will get what I desire.

Poetry / Shinigami - Death God [9]

Death God

If death is what I sought
Perhaps I won't get what I desire
Since my will will surpass the kill
It will be the one ending up dead
Then I will have to fled
Since I really hate the red.

or this is better?

Death God
If death is what you sought
Then you won't get what you desire
Since my will
will surpass the kill
You will be the one ending up dead
Then I will have to fled
Since I really hate the red.

Poetry / I will get what I desire. [7]

"lose that thought."

haha, I was wondering if that sentence sounded too immature but I guess it adds some humor to the poem.

Looking for fire means looking for trouble(fire will burn you) or looking to fail(when you want to achieve something great, a lot people would say "That kid is just looking for more trouble; he is going to fail." Or "That kid is just talking big (that's where calling me a liar came from)"

Poetry / Shinigami - Death God [9]

EF_Kevin
Red is blood (bad stuff o.o), so I have to run away!

Anyway, blood represents death. Since most people fear death, they run away covered with fear.

or any suggestion to make a stronger ending?

Poetry / Poem on 5 senses (dream theme) [11]

Touch, see, smell, hear and taste.

Dream, like the flowing river without an end
Melody, the cheer of crowds, might as well be
My best friend
The raising of audience, can't you see?
Are always there for me
The feeling, is
So sweet, honey
Been success is not always about money.

This is what I got, you can use this as an example to help you with your poem(if you think mine is better, I think an example from a student just like you is better than a peom from a poet). I don't really know much about poetry, but I think you should break your lines up (1st, 2nd last, and the last lines), and try get some rhyme - at least that would make us newbies sound more professional lol.

Hope this helps!
I panicked when I had to write my first poem too, I think you will do fine.

Ok, thanks! I will try that when I feel to write another poem. :) Sometimes the rhyme does make the meaning a bit unclear.

Well, one can always come up with new expression. :] Maybe someday this expression will become famous.

or I can use

If you think I'm playing with fire. I guess this way people might understand better.

Poetry / Poem on 5 senses (dream theme) [11]

It's pretty good, but I need to read more lines to give more comments.

Is there any particular form of poetry you are suppose to write?

if not and if you like short poem, try haiku.

not sure if you can fit everything into 3 lines though, I had hard time writing haikus.

I found it easier to write a poem by writing out the "contents" first, doesn't matter about if it's like poetry. Then I start editing it into a poem, it took me like 10 hours for my first poem. And for real poets, it took them years to edit a poem they like, and some will continue editing.
