Undergraduate / About my environment - admission essay topic [7]

Environment essay please help

Prompt: How has your family history/Envirement influence who you are (give examples of Challenges that have made you a better person)

Well my essay is really choppy 0_0 Im having a hard time makeing it flow. and does my essay go well with the prompt?
-Thanks in advance what you guys do here is great:)

Do re mi, Skip-scat, Skoodle-dee-doo, no matter how you put it the sound of music is what I wake up to every day. I always used to think it was a bad thing. My family's loud music and boisterous laughter could be heard across the neighborhood. This was always something I constantly found myself being embarrassed about. I used to complain about never having enough space for myself, having to share things I felt belonged to me and always having to fight for things a normal kid should never have to fight for. Eventually I began to realize that having a big family is truly a blessing.

Being the fourth child of seven children I'm set in the perfect place to learn. I am given the privilege to learn from the mistakes of others and I am also forced to remain a positive role model for my younger brothers and sisters. When growing up in a large family it is hard for your voice to be heard. This once irritating factor has provided me with the drive to fight for what I believe in. Each member of my family has made a profound effect on who I am. Their personal talents have taught me different ways to view creativity. I have been taught to never limit my mind and always think outside of the box. "Your mind only takes you as far as you will allow it to", my father always told me. With this is mind I am always open to try something new.

My father, who is a living inspiration to me, has made a large impact on my life. His way of viewing life continues to astound me every day. Despite being a victim of the deadly cancer leukemia, he continues to live life with a positive attitude. One thing that he has taught me is to never view my glass as half empty, but as half full. I have learned to appreciate the delicate life that I have no matter what problems may come my way. I have not only learned to be care for my life but the lives of others. My parents have done their best to mold me into whom I am today. My brothers and sisters diverse personality and my father's inspiration have made me stronger. Without them I probably wouldn't be the extroverted young lady I am today.

Undergraduate / About my environment - admission essay topic [7]

Well I started a thread just like this but I can't find it I searched all over the site so Im re posting it :)

Prompt: How has your family history/ environment influenced who you are (give examples of challenges that have made you a better person)
Well Im not having to much of a problem writing about my environment but I am having trouble writing about challenges. I spent a lot of time thinking of challenges that have made me a better person and I've come up with two things: My father suffers from leukemia and I lost my brother to gunfire two years ago. Is this is what the admissions is looking for or should I write about something else. If so, can someone give me examples of what their looking for?

Also, I'm afraid if I talk about my father that would take up the whole essay and I would be writing off topic. (Is writing about a person that inspires you off-topic?)

PS: I live in a very calm and peaceful environment and I was going to write about that as well, would that be fine?

Hello I need help with the topic of my personal statement.

Prompt1: What qualities or unique characteristics do you posses that would allow you to contribute to the university community?

Prompt 2: How has your family history, culture of environment influence who you are.

Ok I need to write about both of these topics but I have problems with talking about myself. can someone list some characteristics that are good to write about that I can choose from? I just need some ideas to get me started.

As far as prompt 2 goes I just want to know what they mean by environment.can I get an example?

Undergraduate / "experience or achievement in your life" - Untitled Personal Statement [7]

Hello, this is my unedited first draft. I've never been much of a writer so I really need help revising. Any constructive criticism will be appreciated. I need words to put into the two blanks at the end of the statement or a sentence to wrap it all together. Also the requirements were to write a 250 word personal statement this is 279 does that matter? If anyone can help me shorten this just a little that would be nice.

Prompt: describe an activity interest experience or achievement in your life that has been particularly meaningful to you

It all so seemed superficial to me. I always saw it as everything television had portrayed it to be. Stuck up snobs who somehow thought they were better than everyone else just because they did a few cartwheels and ran around yelling in synchronization. The first year the team caption asked me if I'd like to try out for the cheerleading squad I nearly laughed in her face. I, who was shy in every way and opposed all things girly? Yea right, why would I even want to be associated with such a thing? I'm not sure what changed my mind, but I tried out and I made it.

Over the summer everyone that made the squad had to participate in a summer camp. During this camp my coach said something to me that really crushed my confidence. She said," XXX, you are the worst one out there". After she told me this it really turned my attitude around and I worked harder to master to this scrupulous sport.

Two years later my coach informed me that I was the new caption of the cheerleading squad. This challenged me more than anything else because I was faced with something I feared, leadership. All of my life I was never the leader of anything I was just another head in the crowd. I never had to worry about what anyone did but myself. Because of this experience I now find it hard to submit myself in the background and not be the leader of an activity. This one activity that I once opposed so much changed my life forever. I am no longer am I a __________ but a ______________
