1.(Title of the essay) Please explain how you have overcome financial or social difficulties, physical or emotional adversities which might have hindered you from studying during middle and high school.

At school, I was very diligent and excelled before my father died and left me orphan in this big and hard world. After the death of my father, our life became worse and worse day by day. In order to feed us, my mother had to go to Moscow again. We were left alone with my older sister and younger brother. Those were the most difficult moments in my life. My interest in life stopped. As a result, I was unable to concentrate on my studies: I began to miss a lot of classes and fell behind on a number of subjects, and eventually, my grades began to suffer. Being in the middle of my teenage years only made it worse. Consequently, the school administration kicked me out of the school. As soon as I heard about their decision, it seemed that I had just woken up from a long sleep. I recognized that I had wanted to give up, instead of being strong and rising above the loss of my father and my mother's absence. I realized If my dad was alive, he would be disappointed to see my condition. In order to my dad could be proud of me, I wanted to become successful to be an educated person. This was the most important thing which is motivated me to reach my goals. It was then that I decided to start all over again. I moved back to my village, entered a new school and studied very hard day and night. During the first few weeks, I noticed myself drifting away during classes, which caused me to fall behind in my lessons. So, to fix this problem, I began to re-read the materials that I missed during classes. With a lot of independent work, I caught up with my missing lessons. Just as it was before this tragedy, I became one of the best students. When I got the highest point on Republic Test I was on the top students to whom universities offer their university to study for free. Also, I won a scholarship at the preparatory program, ( the name of program) for studying English and applying to universities to abroad. I preferred to study in the Preparatory program because It was the best way that would be for me as a bridge which could help and prepare me for applying to UNIST the next year. While I was studying at Prep program, I noticed that I was still not ready to apply to UNIST academically, because my English was not good enough and I did not have good writing skills. My brain understood that it would be really, really hard and almost impossible to be accepted, but knowing all these facts, still, my heart could not release this dream. My heart won my brain and I started to give myself all 100% for application to UNIST. For the sake of my dream I sacrificed with all of me: only God knows how much I prepared, ignoring everything except study, even last days I forgot that I was hungry. As a result, I could apply to UNIST. However, I was rejected. I cannot describe how much pain I experienced at that time. I was disappointed. All my hopes to see the world, my dreams completely collapsed. I became a gray part of the crowd.

The most important thing is that, after 4 months of rejection, maybe you can believe or not, but still I really could not give up my dream to study at UNIST. Even though I was accepted to other universities I refused them because inside my soul I heard a voice which said that UNIST is the exact place where I can find myself and my destination in this life. That is why this dream possessed my whole mind. For the last years, I have been walking to UNIST step by step. During this period, defeated different obstacles, gain a stronger character, and I learned from my hardships. I recognized that I am responsible for my actions, I cannot blame others when I fall or fail and I have to choose to rise up and start again. By risking many things, I learned to be patient and insistent. The main thing is that I am happy that I am following my dream.

In the end, I want to say through this application I have opened to you the door to my inside world. There you could see the castle which was built out of my miseries, pains, and difficulties. You could see beautiful flowers which I cherished with my love, hopes, and dreams. Also, there you could see the mirror wherein the reflection you saw yourself.

Karina, this over dramatized essay is not speaking of the correct topic. The prompt is only asking about any "financial or social difficulties, physical or emotional adversities which might have hindered you from studying during middle and high school" that you had to overcome. The death of your father is an acceptable topic. The leaving of your mother to support the family, also acceptable. Getting kicked out of school, an important topic that should definitely be covered in this essay. However, your quest to be accepted in UNIST, which is related to your undergraduate / college education, is overkill and is not part of the required discussion parameters. You are not supposed to discuss any situation beyond middle and high school. Take the reference to your quest for acceptance to UNIST out of this essay and focus on developing your personal strength based on the references I mentioned which are acceptable for the discussion. Stick to middle and high school. That is all that is required. Don't waste the reviewer's time reading irrelevant material, it may just lead him to reject your application because you showed that you cannot follow instructions. Which means you are not prepared to go to college just yet and that you are not skilled enough to receive a scholarship either.
