Undergraduate / Trust; Stanford Supplement - What Matters to You, and Why? [5]
This is my 2nd draft. Let me know if you have any more suggestions. I really would appreciate it. I'm not a very good writer so the more help the better!
Trust is an influential force that places value to one's actions and convictions. Not only is it essential to form sincere connections, but it also promotes self-confidence. For me trust is what matters, as it is the backbone of any relationship, may it be with a relative, friend, professor, or yourself.
My discovery of its importance came when I was a 'rebel' thirteen year old. As I was searching for a method to thwart my parent's authority of my curfew, I realized that I could sneak out of the doggy door in the basement. It wasn't long before I was caught red-handed and promptly grounded.
During my sentence, I recognized a discomfort between my family and I that had not previously existed. It didn't take long for me to understand that my unwarranted actions resulted in skepticism of my choices, by my kin and myself. This concept aided in my momentary loss of identity, where I believed that I could not be accepted nor supported, as I was prior to my offense. It is then I began to grasp the value and fragility of trust; it is a delicate imperative on which kinship, and the like, may flourish.
My necessary revelation gradually led to redemption with my clan. Having them believe in my ability to be reliable, truthful, and strong felt empowering. It is now their confidence in my determination and intelligence that propels me forward in my quest to learn, challenge, and discover. This constant vigor is what makes me a valuable addition to the Stanford community. Trust me!
