Writing Feedback / We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities - CBEST Writing Test [4]

Although I do agree with your statement, the smartphones topic is playout. we know the damages and quite frankly don't care.

Here are few unnecessary things that are now necessary

- expensive clothing/trendy clothes ( think about the money, quality,time span, landfill!)

- American dream ( the one size dream of getting the family, house, money then die)

- Celebrities opinions ( I don't understand why celebrities trend after saying/doing something after all they're still humans but known , doesn't mean they're expressed values should be shared)

-Renter's insurance

- Excessive smoking/drinking
Good luck!!!

Looking back, I visualize my setback as a leaky rowboat, navigating the voyage but also being paranoid about another leak. My journey has been eventful. It has built my character and I wouldn't change it.

Before confidently pursuing Landscape Architecture, I faced a set of disorientation. I went through unrelated majors. Retaking failed classes, and ultimately feeling unfulfilled.

Sophomore year I took a semester off. I didn't know what to study and had depleted school funds. Although the insufficient funds sound pitiful, it was a blessing. After all, it's what I told my parents to get off my back for a little. During that time, I worked at Midtown Garden Center, a quaint little space tucked between luxury high-rise apartments. This is where I gained experience, knowledge, and gratitude. Creating arrangements and small landscaping made me think about the possibilities on a larger scale. Digging deeper I bought Garden/Landscape books, joined plant clubs, hosted plant workshops, and attended Tropical Plant Expos.

My trials and tribulations connected and concluded an epiphany of my passion. I intend to use my artistic personality and horticulture awareness to impact my community. I believe that the University of Florida program will fulfill my passion.
