Please have a look at what I came up with. Comment honestly and helpfully :)
On a dark winter's evening, [my high school's name] Boat Club witnessed an unfamiliar figure making it's way into the training room. Eye-brows were raised, crew stretching halted, there were grins of contempt. "You're not starting now, are you?". The prospect, self confident and assertive, answered "Yeah, I thought I'll give it a go". Over the next seven months, eye-brows continued to be raised as records were hit and oarsmen were beaten.
It's September. I glance upon the tasks that lay ahead of me: admission to my sought-after college, academic assignments, leading the Economics Society and my new role as Captain of Boats. The latter task calls for a leader, role-model and key athlete. My recent inheritance of power and authority demands for an equal measure of responsibility and maturity, both of which are weaved into my personality. I did not give up becoming who I am today. If my followers adopt my worth ethic and perseverance, there will be no limits to what we, as a rowing club, can achieve.
Hope it's good!
My College List:
Penn (Wharton), Brown, Cornell, BU, NYU, Northeastern, Harvard, Stanford.
