Undergraduate / "I dare to be different" - FAMU Entrance Essay [5]

1. What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the university community?

I dare to be different. I am not afraid to follow the crowd. I am not ashamed to admit that I would rather spend my Saturday nights studying, then out partying with my friends. I do not allow others opinions of myself, to change how I feel about myself. I am confident, and I do not allow struggles to bring me down. I can overcome any and everything that gets in my way, simply because I am not afraid. I am not afraid to speak up in a crowd, or take a stand for issues I feel strongly about. I am not afraid to make mistakes; instead I am grateful for every opportunity to learn something new.

I believe that my attitude and willingness to learn are the best qualities that I can contribute to the university community. I hope that i can not only become very successful, but to be an inspiration to other students. If everyone at FAMU had a positive attitude, then the campus would become an even better learning environment, and produce even more prosperous people.

Please tell me what you think.
