Taking a step in the wrong direction may be the first step towards success.
During my Sophomore year I asked many of my upperclassmen what classes were best to take Junior year and, though there was a variety of replies, no one recommended AP physics. Instead many of them recommended NOT taking that class, saying it was way to difficult and that almost no one got a natural A. After hearing this, I was hesitant to take AP physics from the possibility that it could drop my average, but for some reason I still took it. To my dismay it was as difficult as they described it. I failed my first test, but I wasn't going to allow the class to become impossible. Through a bit of studying and asking questions I was able to pull up my failing grade, from an F to one of the few natural As'!
I found the impossible class possible, and would've regretted not taking it. That is why the trait I'm most fond of is being stubborn. When everyone was telling me not to take the class, I still took it, not to be rebellious, but because I knew I could do it. Just like when Faraday published his findings on the connection between electricity and magnetism despite criticism and disbelief from fellow scholars; He knew it was there even when everyone else said it wasn't.
criticize please :D. Oh and i feel like this example is insufficient :/ it isn't really that "big"
really good written, nice essay. It shows your passion and personality.
But some parts are a little bit wordy.
And i think you should write more about how exactly it made an impact on you, like give more details.
Good luck with your application,
And thanks for reviewing mine :)
The essay captures your emotion and passion, and most of all shows that you don't conform to what others say. The example isn't that strong but still you can use it. :D If you can look over my essay, I would really appreciate it as well since it's near the due date.
