Well, this is my essay. What do you think about it? I'll be glad to know your opinions.
Please tell us how you have spent the last two summers (or vacations between school years), including any jobs you have held, if not already detailed on the Common Application.2500
Last summer
Last summer was harvest time for me. It was time to see the result of success in different exams.
Finally, after lots of efforts, I was able to attend at the "Astronomy Summer School". A school that the most talented students from all over Iran are collected there. Ten students of this group are chosen to be members of the "Iranian Astronomy Olympiad Team". The school's goal is to provide equal educational opportunities for everyone and then decide the bests.
Last season brought me some good friends, and being with them has provided me a valuable experience. Although they were from different parts of the country, but I found them so warm and kindly .We lived in a small dormitory for a season, a season with a lot of experiences.
I had classes about physics and astronomy from morning until afternoon. Our teachers were university professors and this fact helps us to learn the science in its comprehensive and general meaning.
Being with educated friends not only creates a scientific atmosphere, but let you have hobbies like playing sports, performing theater, going to picnic, etc. I'll never forget our music group!
Finally, the school's committee chose me to be a member of the national team, and we are going to the International competition, IOAA, in Poland next summer.
Summer of 2009
That summer was my teaching season! I remember that I was teaching most of the day and I still had enough energy.
I had planned to have a physics class with junior students of my school. But when I saw their willing to have more classes with me, I decided to teach them math and astronomy too. My classes were active and students could find the solution of their questions in teamwork or as an individual.
I wanted to show them the reality of science by seeking into the nature, so we had some field trips. We traveled to different areas and tried to describe the nature by our knowledge. I used to talk about students with their counselor, so that he recognizes them better. I wasn't paid for any of these, but I was proud of myself to assist some students!
I didn't only teach; I was a student too! I went to different classes such as music, sport, English, philosophy, etc. I also traveled to far villages to have observational tours. I tried to show the villagers their great starry night through a telescope.
So after that summer, I am a teacher who plays Tar, speaks English, knows about philosophy and have a good relationship with villagers!
