Undergraduate / "to look at the positive side" + "UCF's beautiful campus" - ucf undergraduate essay! [7]
I've always been taught to look at the positive side of any situation. I learned to acknowledge and succeed obstacles with a resolution. I look for ways to learn and improve.You always have to open your eyes to overlook a situation.Excessive in my opinion Residing in Puerto Rico, my mom raised me.Sounds wierd, try to combine sentences here, also, "the father figure? How about 'my father'?" Even though the father figure was evanescent and eventually ceased to be a part of my life, this only showed my mom and me to be independent. After some time elapsed, my mother was very fortunate to find my stepfather, whom I call father because he took care of me like I was his own daughter. The next incident that I was presented with was my migration to the United States. Leaving the only place I had grown accustomed to was an arduous burden. Familiarizing myself with new faces and distinct surroundings was all part of my adaptation process. I never really knew what to expect but I always remained positive. It was time for my new life. Was I ready for it? It was a lot to endure and develop but I had my mindset. I obliterated all the excuses. I worked persistently and I am proud to say that I am fully bilingual. Being bilingual is a tremendous advantage in the world today and I will utilize my ability to improve society and promote others to do the same. Lastly, the most difficult period in my life was last summer. My father became aware that he had a heart problem. It was brought to his attention that he needed immediate open heart surgery. Knowing that there were large risks, I panicked. Then I realized, what can I do to make things better? My dad and I were strong for each other and we promised to overcome this vulnerable stage. Fortunately, it was a great turn out. After some time, my dad was released to come home. This taught me to be strong not only physically but also mentally. Nevertheless, Competition is what the United States is fundamentally built around. To overcome situations and develop the strength to live and learn you have to go through the lessons that life endows you.
There are many instances where it's too fragmented, too many incomplete thoughts - to many short sentences. Try to combine them or get rid of the excess.
