I also enjoyed your incorporation of the panda story to tie in with your essay! the first paragraph, however, didn't seem to flow well with the rest of your essay, perhaps consider revising just a bit. other than that, its great!
I really like you intellectual vitality essay, I too, love to blog! it really shows your learning experience and how it changed your outlook on things. however, like mentioned above, there are a few things people at the admissions office might not understand about blogging - might want to change that a bit. but other than that..its great :)
I like your approach on the prompt - it's certainly a unique one. I admire you for that. However, when I began reading, it took me a while to understand where you were going with it. Perhaps, you can make it a bit more clear! :)
I also like your idea on laughter, :) however, i did not understand this part --> 'can travel one-thousand six hundred and sixty-nine miles faster than light can. Breaking the speed of light,'
well written! however, when i was reading, i got the vibe that you were anti-religious..like your experience made you turn that way..unless that's what you want your reader to sense, then it'd be fine! other than that, great story! :)
