Prompt - Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
It was the third minute and my hand could fall off.
Swiveling and mentally running through the algorithms of the Rubik's cube, the challenge of a completed cube comes to mind.When my Aunt returned from the U.S, she bought me a Rubik's cube . To most people, it was a trivial toy, but it contains worlds of mathematical complexity. It was this complexity I wanted to crack. Most of my time was suddenly sacrificed to the cube - working slowly, making mistakes with a little frustration were crucial to cracking the mystery behind the cube.It is this intricacy that I enjoy.
Working on the Rubik's cube has helped me gain focus, determination and patience and as well changed how I view people. It has influenced my interpretation of human interactions and how the world works. It made me value the importance of unity and teamwork. No matter what color or location the blocks are, they're all connected to the core. There will be moments where everything is a mess and out of place, but when working together it's only a matter of time and patience before everything clicks into place.
The more time I spent solving the cube, the more I started noticing its similarities to the world; the core never changes. The elements surrounding it move around until they reach the place that makes it perfect. In this analogy, I was the middle piece, and the problems within my life were the different, colorful sides that surrounded it. I came to understand that there are several ways a person can approach a situation. Just as there are multiple combinations in which the blocks of a Rubik's cube can be placed before it is solved. There's always a solution, one just has to keep turning.My love for science stems largely from this; science requires the same logical and levelheaded approach as the cube does. This intellectual stimulation, coupled with a desire to discover about brain's mysteries, compels me to pursue a career in Neurosurgery.
This summer, I worked in a - here, I want to write about my experience in working in a hospital/lab and assisting the surgeons there.
Working in a lab was an exhilarating experience for me. Even though I gave up resting my life away to instead xxx which has inspired and motivated me. I want to write the latter effect of the cube to me.
Please help me, especially with the last two paragraphs. I am applying to:
Harvard, Stanford, UChicago,USC, UPenn,Washington and Lee,Cornell, please give me some safety schools as I have a 4.5 gpa and I have 3 years to finish high school.
Will this essay appease the Adcoms, also please give me a good topic. the essay is approximately 400 with a limit of 650
Please go hard, very, very
