Undergraduate / "restaurant was destroyed, NY" - Williams Supplemental Windows Essay [4]
Dont really know what to do for the Williams supplement essay. Is this any good...at all...
Imagine looking through a window at any environment that is particularly significant to you. Reflect on the scene, paying close attention to the relation between what you are
seeing and why it is meaningful to you. Please limit your statement to 300 words.
Ask someone to describe looking out of a window, and they can describe to you a thousand different views, thoughts, and emotions that they associate with the action. I myself recount a moment when I was young and visiting New York City for one of the first times. After riding the elevator up a skyscraper, at the time an adventure in itself, I gazed out of the restaurant window out on a view of the city. To this day I remember being drawn to the tiny people on the sidewalks below rather than the majestic buildings. The people below scurried around like ants, all concentrated on their own private objectives, while I surveyed them from high above. I remember feeling a sense of disconnect, how I was focused on them, and they not on me.
I try to cherish this memory and reflection, as sadly I cannot revisit this particular view. The restaurant was destroyed on September 11th, 2001, in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. When I heard of the attack, my mind flashed back to that scene of the city and of the people, and I was deeply saddened by the event.
