Essay #1: In an essay of no more than 500 words, please select three words that describe you best and tell us how you will use these qualities/characteristics to contribute fully to the BU community.
In order to find the words that best describe my personality, I reflected back to my childhood. What did I discover? As a child, I was curious, straightforward, and energetic. In other words, I was a "spirited child".
Ever since I was little, I have been curious of my surroundings. I was the kid who strayed away from her parents in public places to explore and whose name was announced on the PA system because I was lost. I would have been the gullible child in stories who pressed the big red button that said "Do Not Touch" just to see what happened. Today, I have focused my inquisitiveness toward more rewarding aspects of life. Learning new hobbies or succeeding at school have been embedded into my journey of exploration. My insatiable appetite to discover the unknown has inspired me to take chances, attempt new activities, and to investigate all options.
When I was younger, I would blurt out all my opinions without much thought. I had little self-restraint, and would often get into awkward situations. I had the habit of approaching strangers and asking, "Why are you smoking? That's bad for you!" I would ask large women when their babies were due. But today, I use my direct personality in a more positive way. My peers count on me to say things as they appear, and to not shy away from the task. I stay true to myself, so people know what to expect from me.
I was a kid who was always on the go. My parents could never take me out to restaurants because I could never stay still. There was no stopping me. My energy used to hinder my capabilities to do well in school. But over time, I used my dynamism to become more successful in life. I became more competitive, putting all my vigor into becoming a better basketball player, a better academic student, and a better employee. I have become a strong woman who can face challenges with a fighting spirit without ever giving up. I am driven, motivated, and determined to overcome whatever complication comes my way.
I was a handful as a child, but have now matured enough to use my characteristics in better ways. I took my trouble-making traits with me into adulthood, and transformed them into invaluable qualities that will be useful at BU. My curiosity has sparked my desire to explore, research and take advantage of all opportunities the college and city has to offer. My straightforwardness will show my integrity to my professors, and my commitment and work ethic will be clear to them. My energy will keep me intent on pursuing my passions and achieving my goals at Boston University.
Word count:
P.S. Should I add more about myself now in each category or do you think I have enough? I can take any criticism, so be harsh if needed. thanks again!
