Undergraduate / 'dedicated to the study of dance' - Stanford Future roommate essay [7]
so i completely rewrote my roomate essay the first is my new one and the second is my first draft corrections on the first are greatly appreciated
As we start this new journey we are embarking on an unknown and unforgettable journey to discover ourselves and create a future. It is finally time to go off into the world as an independent young adult. I have been looking forward to this experience more than ever now. I want to go off and explore all the opportunities being at Stanford has to offer; I want to learn from these new experiences.
For me Stanford is a seven to eight hour drive away from home. For some it is not much but for me it is worlds away, nevertheless it is a journey I want to and am ready to take. I can now say that I'm not scared to go absolutely alone so far away from home. It is a new beginning, an opportunity to move away from the past and fully embrace the person I want to be. I have always been labeled as shy but it is actually not so, the first thing I want do- after getting to know you of course- is explore all of the campus and meet new people. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things.
One aspect of my past I would never leave behind would be my passion for dance. I have taken ballet lessons from the age of eight and it is something I cannot live without. One memory that always brings a smile to my face was when I was dancing around the house (no one was home) I kicked up and hit my mom's brand new picture frame the glass shattered but remand intact. I tried to pretend like nothing happened but that was the first thing my mom noticed. She never did believe me and made me buy her a new picture frame. It is a memory I can laugh about now, but no need to worry I won't be dancing around the dorm all that often only singing. I sing when I'm happy and I sing all the time. I strive to live with a positive attitude and outlook on life.
I hope we have some things in common but if not we can always learn from each other and learn new things.
