here's my note to my future roommate.
please respond as fast as possible and tell me whether this is good enough to present myself and convince the admission committee
Hello mate,
First of all I want to tell you that we are going to have great fun; we got in Stanford YAY!
I am an Albanian coming from Kosovo, a small country in the south-eastern Europe. Even though Kosovo celebrated only its 4th independence anniversary this year, it is a country with a very rich history and culture. There are many beautiful things about my country so you're going to hear a lot from me about it. I expect the same from you as I like to learn about new cultures and different ways of living.
I have a wide range of interests; beginning with skiing, listening to music, playing soccer, watching movies, fishing, travelling and ending with reading, drawing, swimming and hiking. But the two main interests in my life are engineering and basketball.
Since I was a kid, I always wanted to become an engineer. My father, an electrical and electronic engineer, used to explain me how basic things worked and how engineers made different devices which helped people perform tasks faster and better. I quickly learned how to change a bulb or fix a broken plug. Together with my father we would make up new toys and put them into work. This significantly shaped my school life as I became more and more interested in mathematics and science subjects such as physics and chemistry. Thus talking about things related to engineering such as innovative inventions or solutions to world problems is something I really like and wish to share with you.
Playing basketball is another thing I love. I train regularly and play in the junior league of Kosovo. I am a huge fan of the Lakers and to me Kobe Bryant is arguably the best player that has ever existed (you'd better agree here)! I hope to play basketball in Stanford too and I advise you not to get surprised if you see me in the middle of the night trying to perform an imaginary move that Kobe did to beat the buzzer or bouncing the basketball to the ceiling. I also hope that we will play together and have fun.
Finally, I want us to become FRIENDS. I want us to help each other and care for each other. We're not going to only share the same room; we will share our time in there. Btw I really like to make people laugh and have fun so you'll never get bored in my company.
Yours sincerely,
Rron
