Undergraduate / Stanford roommate essay: 'asian, born in Brazil and lives in Canada' [4]
Dear future roommate,
I am thrilled to start a new part of our lives at Stanford, and I'm sure that you too are as excited. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am not your typical Asian. I was born in Brazil and lived there most of my life, but I recently moved to Canada. A bit weird eh?
Being from Brazil, I have always wanted to find out if what happened in the movies was real. Interestingly, some of my Canadian friends already became used to me asking, "I s it just like in those movies?" A funny moment like that was when I first saw a Yellow s chool bus, since I thought they didn't exist in real life, and freaked out about it. In university, I always imagined that line across the room, dividing the room into two very distinct spaces. I hope it never comes to that in our room.
I tend to learn things quickly, whether it is school related, or just fixing something on a computer. And if you ever require assistance, I assure you that I will always try to help you as best I can , even if that means dropping what I am currently working on.
Also, I have a great passion for sports; I can adapt to different sports quickly. I admit I don't have the best body build (I may be the skinniest person you ever know), yet I got on the rugby team. And even though I got wrecked in every rugby game, I love the thrill that the sport gives me.
Don't be worried if you expect a super messy room with clothes thrown all around and old food on the table. I tend to be clean and even have a habit of organizing everything. However, don't be alarmed if I start mumbling strange words in Portuguese from time to time or if I become overexcited because of a soccer game. Also if you were to become interested in learning a new language, I would gladly teach you. I look forward for these 4 years we will spend at Stanford
Regards, Kevin Lin
Your personality really shines through in this, just a few grammar mistakes here and there. But very good other than that!
