Common Application Prompt #4

Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?


Life is busy. Especially now, with communication technology and the Internet, the average day is full of hurried hustle and bustle: a constant parade of obligations, responsibilities, jobs, academics, and social events define my generation. Frankly, millennials can be pretty high-octane organizers. In many ways, it's a wonderful thing. One person can be more productive and communicate with more people over longer distances than ever before. However, in the midst of all the progress and activity, it's easy to overlook the quiet, simple comforts of solitude; sometimes I need to rediscover the joys of losing myself in my work. Room 209, where I studied Commercial Art and Advertising, was my sanctuary in that regard. It was a subject I could bury myself in, immersing my mind in designing products, like posters, logos and fliers. In Room 209, I always felt perfectly content. There was a certain level of satisfaction in a well-designed creation; seeing my creativity and my diligence pay off with every project is still one of my fondest high school memories. Digital art, in particular was my area of expertise. Technology gives the designer limitless tools, uncapping the boundaries of physical mediums; my potential could truly shine there. But I wouldn't have been nearly as successful had my classroom not been what it was. My art teacher was a results-oriented, level-headed person, who kept the classroom in order and the AC at a crisp 65 degrees. For some, this might seem morose, but I loved it. Working without distractions and noise meant I could put my guard down and relax, concentrating on my passion instead of my classmates. After all, I went to a large school - this inevitably means a portion of students were less well adjusted than others. Behavioral problems were fairly common; in many classes I couldn't truly be myself or focus on my work because of individuals being rambunctious, which meant teachers had to interrupt class in order to deal with the issue. None of that went on in Room 209 - the caliber of students and the teacher were both better than that.

Well, I find all these things tell more general stuff and nothing specific about you. Your admission guys may have heard all these things million times and may get bored reading them over and over again. I wish you take more focus on to yourself. What is the place you are perfectly content? Why that place make you feel so? Those are the primary things they would want to know to understand you as a person. So, you need to portray your personality through this favorite place :)
