"Gold, Garnet and Gray" - sharing my story for college application [3]
I think your essay have many ideals, so I give you my opinion about this:
I enjoy looking at the different colors and shades of my
life .
When I grow older, I find myself using colors as a
way better understanding and defining who I am and the world around me.
Personally , I am neither black nor white. Many aspects of
my life are made up of many dualities, sometimes contradictory, that manage to mix and create whom I am. As
the first generation Jamaican-American (Big up Jamrock), there are
many aspects of myself that derives from the Jamaican side of me
, such as
the music that I listen to
o and
the foods that I enjoy. At the same, being born and raised in America
that has left a huge impression on the way I
think which tends to be less traditional.
There are
much more phenomena in my life that define me because I fall short of what is considered the normal.
I like to say
that I am a minority of minorities. I find myself being the only Black person in most of my classes.
I believe I have
just as much to offer Florida State, as it
have to offer to me.
Joining FSU would be
a great opportunity to share my unique perspective of the world, and
to learn the unique perspectives of others who are in that gray zone.
