Undergraduate / "How can we not care about American Indians?" - Common App Essay [6]

I agree with jfk. Since I don't know what the prompt is, I can't say anything for your essay :S

I wrote my common apps essay too (on the first prompt), so I'm guessing your prompt was "Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you."

If it was, I would say this essay is more like a research paper.. you used most of the essay talking about the things you've researched for your project, not about its importance to you. I see you kind of explained why it's important in the last two sentences, but that's not enough. I think you should talk about yourself more.

Undergraduate / "Being a Mother." - world you come from (family, community, school) [7]

Hello :)
I need some feedback for my UC prompt #1. It's my first draft, and is very rough.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Prompt #1: Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.

I am the mother of two children - not literally, of course. I mean I have two siblings of whom I play the role of a mother. I have a younger sister, now a junior, whom I still have to wake up every morning. And I have a baby brother, just turned one in this June, whom I have to chase after until the bed time. Out of many roles I play in my life, the role that has been most inspiring to me is that of an older sister, or a mother, to my siblings. This role is truly the one that has stimulated my interests to grow toward the medical careers in which I can practice a thorough motherly role.

When I and my sister Dominique came to live with our grandparents, she was three, and I was five. We were thrust into the situation we were not prepared for: living within the absence of a father and a mother. Our parents' divorce brought that much of the responsibility to take care of my younger sister, a task which was yet too burdensome to be dealt by a five year old. Since then, I was not only an older sister but also a mother. As Dominique entered school, I woke her up, dressed her up, and walked with her every morning. I always had an extra set of materials she might need in class, picked her up after school, and checked if she completed her homework every night. Every time I had to refuse my friends' offer to go outside and play because of Dominique who since then grew too strong attachment to me, I blamed my parents who had laid on my shoulder too much of obligation. It was a tiring job, I admit it. However, although it may seem unusual to hear, from some point of my life I began to take pride in the role as both a sister and a mother. I take pleasure of being accommodating, committed to helping others, and able to sympathize with others. I am now also aware that there is no reason to take the parents' divorce merely as a painful memory. I can take it as a valuable opportunity that has allowed me to grow into a more mature human being, and to discover my passion to pursue medical career that entails my motherliness.

It has now been more than ten years that I have taken the pleasure in playing such a role. Just as I slowly began to feel anxious of being taken away this thrilling role due to my father's new marriage, my step mother gave birth to my baby brother, Dan. Again, I am delighted to be given a chance to re-play the role I am proud of. I do not mind waking up Dominique every morning, or chasing after Dan until he falls asleep. They are more than welcome to.
