1. If you could design your own college curriculum, what would it look like? For example, what areas of study would be included and why? How would the classes be formatted? (250 word limit)

2. Describe a cultural experience you have had and explain how it impacted you. This could be through travel, class, relationships, etc. (250 word limit)

3. Describe any important honors or awards you earned in high school; focus especially on any that relate to your interest in research and/or in study connecting different academic subjects. (150 word limit)

4. ESSAY: Respond to the following question: (250 word limit)

- Aperta quicquid veritas prodit. (Whatever truth brings forth is good.): true or false?


1. ( I have nothing on this, I have no idea what to do...)

My curriculum would be more then "senior format" every year. All students would have classes that suited their degrees, but also allow room for exploration of everything else. All students would go through classes on every subject.

2.

Because of my interest in anime, I took Japanese language lessons for two years, so that I would be able to tour Japan without a hitch. Leaning Hiragana, learning some words and sentence structure was so much fun - but the most fun was getting to know my teacher, Nobu, and his parents. When i was six months old, the doctors told my parents I was deaf in my right ear - and I've grown up reading lips and body language to fully understand people and what they mean or ask me to do. But when I did not know their language, and they did not know mine, I had to learn fast what they're completely different body language meant. And that is when I learned to learn to read people, fast.

3.

My sophomore year of high school, we had a year-long independent study of our own choice. I choose modern art. We spent months researching and making products to support our findings, and when the final due date arrived, we had to present our work to the class. The subject itself was hard to make understandable to others around me who had not had the art background I had. But to teach a class of sixteen year olds, I had to go through the whole history of art and why modern art was so different, but needed in our world - what it presented to the whole art scene, and how it changed lives.

4.

When I was seven, I was at my grandma's house doing some arts and crafts (little snowmen for my mother's Christmas present). We were at her kitchen table, using a permanent marker to color the little eyes of the snowman. My brother and my cousins were playing outside, so my grandmother left me alone to go check on them, and make sure nobody was hurt. I did not care what they were doing, so I stayed at the table and continued to color my Frosty. Pretty soon though, Frosty's eyes were as black as ever, and I still wanted to color. So I got the newspaper and started to color. Permanent marker and newspaper do not mix. Ever. I weighed the options of being scolded and getting in trouble, and having my grandmother's table black and still getting scolded at when she found it - finally I decided. I ran outside, grabbed her as fast as I could, and pointed to the opened marker and black table. Because I wasted no time, and told my grandmother the truth, her table was not black forever more, and I did not get in trouble. She actually told my brother and cousins that I had done the right thing in telling her about it. Therefore, whatever truth brings forth is good.

Hey guys, thanks so much for whatever help you can give me!!!!! Y'all are awesome!!! C:

Design a curriculum that gives extensive training in first aid and CPR along with advanced nutritional info and meditation techniques. Include a class in electoral science so students can understand the political process in their country, and include a course in accounting so they understand how taxes work. These are the things that people are often sent into the world without!! Just an idea.

Some people might need you to write Japanese animation because they do not know what anime is.

During my sophomore year of high school, we had a year-long independent study...

This is great, you are going to do very well!! You write like a good story-teller, leading the reader from one idea to the next.

Ack! Thank you so much Kevin, when I'm not so tired (aka, when it's not 10:30 at night) I'll re-write them and put them back up.

You're awesome!
