Undergraduate / "how caring people have influenced me" college essay [6]
What are the characteristics of caring people? Describe a time when you have experienced caring people. What made them stand out? How did they influence you?
A caring person is someone who is willing to take time out of their life on a daily basis in order to help others improve their own. They are not only considerate of other people's feelings, but they also share in other's ups and downs. The characteristics of a caring person include, but are not limited to kind, compassionate, respectful, trustworthy, and generous. Yet, these characteristics do not fully define the true meaning of a caring person. A caring person should not only be recognized by their characteristics, but also by their actions. The idea that caring is more than just empty emotion is proved to be true through the actions of my mom and dad. They have proved the ultimate act of caring by their decision to send me to the high school that they did. My school has prepared me fully for the future and in furthering my education in college. They have recognized that by sending me to a school that asks of so much and places ample responsibility on the students, it has pushed me to always strive for my highest potential, not only as a student but also in my values as a person. My parents have shown that they care for me each and every day by working very hard to pay for my tuition and by taking time to teach me important life lessons that only come with experience. My parents have stressed the importance of being a good person and what that entails, which therefore has pushed me to live up to their expectations. My mom and dad are the main role models in my life and influence me as a whole. Their strong influence as caring people has made me want to help others just as much as they do. I strive each day to become more and more like them, and to continue passing on the characteristics of a caring person.
