Undergraduate / "my brother's unpleasant behavior" - a life-changing experience, early admission [4]

Any comments and advice will be appreciated, thanks in advance. The prompt and essay are as follow:

Please recount a life-changing experience, explain how it impacted you and how you plan to use it in a positive manner to better yourself and your community.

My whole life I had to deal with my brother's unpleasant behavior; I remember when my brother who was about seven years old was a huge trouble maker, he did not behave. When he was in elementary school the teachers could not deal with him that they just decided to sent him to the Life Skill classes. When in reality he only had a behavior issue not a special need, his problem could have been fixed but they just gave up on him. Now at fourth teen years old he does not know how to read or write very well, and still has behavior issues. Sometimes I really wish that my relationship with him was more satisfying that the one we have right now. The significant challenge that my brother brought to my life has impacted my life more than I would have ever thought.

When he was just in elementary school he was taken to a clinic where he stayed for a couple of weeks, there they tried to help him with his behavior. This did not worked he was still the same, his behavior continue the way it was before. When he went on to middle school things just got worse, this is when he started to hang out with the wrong people. He entered the world of curiosity, he still had behavior issues and at this point he got into probation. He was locked up a couple times, but only over the weekend it never passed three days before he would come back home. He also had the curiosity of trying new things, he was caught with tobacco at school and had to attend a tobacco class and do community service. His actions took him to an alternative correctional school, which was no help at all he would say that he liked it there because he wouldn't do much at this school.

At this moment his in high school and still has behavior issues and does not know how to read or write very well. The challenge that he has brought upon me has impacted me, I see the way he acts and I ask myself why he is like that? What drove him to be this way? I think that as the time goes on his behavior is getting worse, he screams at my mom and calls her names. When I hear him I tell him to stop and to not be talking to her that way; what he does is scream at me that is none of my business, to leave him alone. Now I'm at a point where I don't know whether to thank him for making me a stronger person or be angry at him for making my life challenging.

What I can say about his behavior is that he has drove me to help people and be more compassionate toward others, who have similar characteristics as him. When I'm in my classes and see that a certain student needs help I make myself available. There's this particular student in one of my classes who reminds me of my brother, and for this reason I feel compassionate towards this student. An example that I believe can reveal my leadership ability is when I go to the elementary school to volunteer; there I help with the students who have trouble focusing and behavior issues. When they are off tasks, with a simile I lead them towards their assignments.

When I sit down and think about things this is what motivates me to succeed in life and continue my education. I also hope that one day my brother will get motivated to better himself, realize that his behavior is not helping anyone and that is not too late to change his life. In the future I want to continue helping students and motivate them to better themselves, not only for them but also for the sake of their family.

Undergraduate / Describe your relationship with your siblings (my sister) [4]

Heres what I have so far, my question is, have I answered the prompt?
I have posted the prompt below followed by my essay.
Any comments and suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

In her book Original Kin , Marian Sandmaier has written that "A sibling may be the sole keeper of one's core identity, the only person with the keys to one's unfettered, more fundamental self." Describe your relationship with your siblings. Do you think birth order has had a significant impact on who you are? If you are an only child, how has the lack of a sibling shaped your identity?

The relationship with my siblings is not the best but I would say that it's decent. The relationship with my older sister and my younger brother is more pleasant than the chaotic relationship with my fourteen year old brother. I strongly believe that birth order has had an impact in who I am today. I know that I would be a different person if it wasn't for my brothers who I love and care for.

My sister is the person I go to when I need someone to talk to, the one who's always there and knows what to say. My older sister has impacted who I am by teaching me the value of pride and hard work and like any other older sister she has been a role model. She would wear something blue so there I was trying to find something close to that color and style; even thought she would get mad. I grew up seeing her ambition for studying and working hard. This taught me that through hard work anything is possible. When I see what my sister has accomplished in life because of hard work it influences me to do my best at everything and always work hard, no matter how difficult the task may be.

Since we were little my older sister would take care of my brother and me; she was like a second mother, she would feed us and make sure I had done my homework before I could go to sleep. Because we were raised by a single mother, one job was not enough. I believe that the reason I don't get along with my teenage brother is simply because since I can remember he would always hit me and bother me. When we were small he would always do stuff that bother me and would sometimes hit me for no reason; these are the memories I have of our childhood and because there not so pleasant I never came around to liked being around him. I wished that this had never happened because, I strongly believe that, it created a strong dislike in me towards my brother. Unlike my sister who she was like a second mother she would always defend me and would tell my brother to stop bothering me.

My younger brother, who is six years old, has though me the value of caring and thanks to him I believe I'm more compassionate to others especially kids. Now that I'm older and see life a different way, having my little brother in my life has been a blessing. He always makes me laugh and I will always love him. I think that the purpose of my little brother coming to life is, letting me know that there is someone who needs me and loves me.

Undergraduate / "The influence my father has had in my life" - Texas common application topic A [4]

Growing up I did not have a father figure, it was up to my mom to take on the roles of being a mother and a father. My life was always full of "what if my father..." I always wondered what he might be doing. Growing up, my brothers' and I did not see my father as much as we would have liked; he lived in Chicago, and we lived in Austin.

When we finally had the courage to look for my father and see how he was doing, my sister and I sat down and started looking in the internet phone books for his name or something that would tell us where he might be. We did not find much information so we decided to try my uncle's name. We started looking for the name of my uncle knowing that my grandma would be there and could give us a number, where we could find our father. There were a lot of Thomas Arroyo's but with the help of my mom we narrow it down to about five persons. My mom remember around where my uncle lived and we tried calling the number closes to that address. I took the phone and called the number when someone answer I ask for my grandma and she said "si soy yo"; feeling excited and nervous I told her who was calling. My grandma started crying and said thank god I get to hear your voice again. When my grandma gave the message to my father he called us within the next couple of days. Next thing you know my sister and I were on the next airplane to Chicago.

I always thought that my father did not care much for us "I wish you did not have my blood!" I had those words stuck in my head, the same words he told my sister when he left from the visit that turned into a disaster. This was the only memory that was left from that visit, the visit that turned into eight years of me wondering why he had said that, and if he really meant it.

On Christmas Eve, my sister and I went to the church with my father and some friends. This was the moment that changed my life, my view towards my father. "Does anyone else want to give thanks this night?" the priest asked. "I do", said my father. As he stood up, I could feel all the eyes in the room looking towards us. He started out saying that he was so overjoyed that we were with him. As he went on, I could see the tears of joy running down his checks. At a point he burst into tears and could not even speak. There I was sitting next to my father not knowing what to do or say. I reached out to grab his hand; he squeezed my hand and continued talking. These made me realized that he did in fact love us after all. We were his children and he was our father. This was an eye opener for me. I needed to forgive him, maybe not forget the harsh moments I went through, but forgive my father. As well as, trying to get to know him, and gain back those lost years of father and daughter. Even now, I still need more time to forget and get my mind straight.

My father impacted my life more than what I thought he ever would. Despite of all the things that have happen, he is still my father and I still care for him. I cannot say I love him yet, but hopefully, that day will come. As our relationship grows I will be able to hug him and say "I love you Dad."
