Hi,
I'm a homeschooled, and i recently realized that i need a better education than my home can provide. To me the next logical step, it seems, is applying to boarding school. There just one problem, i suck at writing essays, and answering questions in a pseudo essay format.
This is what i have so far (note this is a draft, and it is unfinished.):
List and describe your level of interest and participation in school activities (school, volunteer groups, athletics, music, etc.). List any awards or honors you received in the past two years. In which activities do you plan to participate in the future?
I am significantly interested in philosophy and psychology. I mostly pursue that interest outside of my normal school routine. As I far sport go I played hockey for three years (2008-2011). I recently took up fencing, which I prefer to do the individualistic format.
List and describe your level of interest and participation in hobbies, activities and groups not associated with school. List any awards or honors you received in the past two years.
What reading have you enjoyed most in the past year and why?
When it comes to book that i've enjoyed, Ray Bradbury's Illustrated man is one of the I find the stories alone
Incredibly imaginative, then (re)imagining them being told in the form of a moving tattoo gives me whole new sense of awe. While some of the stories seem outdated, they still have I always manage to get something from them. I like how stories vary in tone and color, a few being partially vibrant, and the majority being dark and dystopian, they all have a strange and macabre yet extremely poetic tone that sometimes leaves you thrilled.
Please note anything more you would like us to know about you.
Please choose one of these statements and then write a 250-500 word response to it.
1. Describe a person you admire or who has influenced you a great deal.
2. What makes you the interesting person you are? (be sure to include the qualities you like best about yourself.)
3. Explain the impact of an event or activity that has created a change in your life or in your way of thinking.
Since I was a young child I have been fascinated with story telling and fiction. Some of earliest memories come from using beanie animals to compose stories. Now thats now especially unique; playing with toys- I mean everyone does that. But I took a level deeper than Teenage mutant ninja turtle's facing off with your sisters barby empire with a "wam-pow" and a "swoosh-ka-bam". My battles always went a little bit deeper, my characters a little more layered. My plot lines-even back then-were often extremely complex, and didn't when bed time came with tedious contingency-but often carried on for several days, sometimes weeks. Sometimes I would put on little play with them for fellow family to members to watch, although I don't think they were very legibable.
As I grew older (around 6-7) I was introduced to Legos
