Undergraduate / Common Appli : A tiger can't be a kitty [9]

Hi This is my first time posting. I drafted a common appl assay, could you kindly give me advices. thank you.

A Tiger is not a Kitty

I have been thought as a prideful guy and my mom frequently suggests me showing a little modesty to others. But I am still act on my own way and justify my superiority with so many evidences. I get such a confidence in my intellection that I have never been second-best in any intellect games played, such as chess, go chess, strategic games and even number puzzles. In sports, I am the member of many teams and have been a popular sport star school wide since elementary school. In academic, I glorify myself by so many awards and medals in many courses. Even in appearance , I am quite sure that I am an attractive guy, no worrying about there will be a beautiful girl joining my romantic life in the near future. However, the bubbling feeling was broken by an event which changed my concept of the life.

I was the president of my school councilor and sought to renewal my term in a campaign. Joe, my competitor in the election, is an ordinary-looking short boy, always smile but doesn't show any outstanding points either in his personality or in any aspects of talent. To my surprise, however, he got a mountain-slide winning over me. The scenario that students hailed excitingly towards him hurt me deeply. I realized that all my achievements or talents don't necessary earn popularity. My feeling of superiority strengthened by the achievements actually adversely distance me from people. I therefore decided to change my life style upside down, Joe became my new example and I did anything following his suits. To my disappointment, I didn't gain popularity like Joe did by that way, to make is worse, teachers and friends were shocked that I acted like a totally different species, from a tiger to a cat. They have to lower the expectations on me in performance of academic competition or sports matches. This is a vicious cycle, I really felt upside down that time.

One day, I saw a news that a pet tiger bit her owner to death. A picture displayed the culprit tiger posed with pride beside the body of the victim. In a sudden, I was enlightened to compare this story with my own situation. Each human being, like animal, has its own characteristic and rule of life individually. The best life of a tiger is to dominate in a forest, oversee his kingdom, chase the deer and fight with buffaloes. He won't feel happy being a pet like a cat, and in most cases he won't be a pet as good as a cat. For me, I can liken me a tiger. Though I could modify my attitudes more acceptable to others. I wouldn't go too far to totally change my characteristic. That's the change neither successful nor acceptable.

After that, I go onto a rightful way of my own's accord.. I feel much better and am confidence that I will be an outstanding figure in certain field like life science. To arrive the goal, I will do my utmost to prepare and apply for the entry of famous universities . That's the necessary step towards my target. I wish my dream will come true soon.
