Undergraduate / Flagler Admissions Essay, The topic is to write about a single event or theme that describes [2]
The topic is to write about a single event or theme that describes your character or aspirations.
I couldn't have been older than twelve years old when I was sitting in front of the television and I saw one of those ASPCA commercials about abused animals. You know, the ones where pictures of sad dogs go across the screen while the song "In the Arms of an Angel," by Sarah McLachlan plays in the background and brings everyone within hearing distance to tears. I remember watching that commercial for the very first time and just sitting on the scratchy rug of my ten-year old home in complete shock. I remember running to my mother in tears asking her how someone could do that to an animal. From that moment until I was old enough to do something, I kept that commercial running through my mind. I encouraged my mother to adopt multiple dogs of different breeds and eventually volunteered at an animal shelter. That commercial is what brought me to the realization that life is not great for everyone and to be someone who helps people realize that would be something I'd love to do. Although I may not have saved every dog within a 200 mile radius of my home, I changed the lives of a small few. It would be a great privilege if Flagler College could help me achieve my goal of being someone who brings awareness to the people of the world about things they may not be very informed about, whether that be people of third world countries or animals facing euthanasia in shelters that need to make more room.
Thank you for your help.
