PLS correct my college essay,only few hours left!!Can anyone help me?I will really appreciate that!!!!!

Why Brandeis University?(250 words)
I love being at the heart of activity,in a sense that I engage actively in studies and interact with teachers and students enthusiastically.Our class is small. During the class, I always feel free to respond to teachers' questions, to propose a different way of thinking or to exchange ideas.My intention is not to impress others, but to interact with teachers and students and to learn from the conversation for the sake of learning. Once in the math class, I found that the math teacher had made a mistake on the board. I pointed it out,but the teacher thought I was wrong. I then explained my answer to him,and he paused for a second and realized that I was right. He appreciated that I had pointed out the mistake. I also lead a study group in which we help each other in studies until the problem is solved. We compete against ourselves,but not others.I love to interact with different people with diverse backgrounds. There are always so many intriguing aspects. It provides me a broader view of the world, not restraining myself in certain circles of people.

At Brandeis, classes are small and faculties are highly accessible. Students integrate in the Brandeis Undergraduate Group Study. Brandeis University is a good match for me. I hope to join the Ballet Club,Brandeis Academic Debate and Speech Society and Knitting Club to explore new and challenging experiences that Brandeis offers.The intimacy, attention, amiable study environment at Brandeis , will provide me with high quality of learning, strengthen my ability and prepare me for the future.

Your essay doesn't really begin until the end.

Answer any THREE of the questions below. Give me 50-100 words for each.

1. Why are small class sizes important to you?

2. Why are you interested in the undergraduate study group?

3. What is it about speech and debate that appeal to you?

4. Why do you like knitting instead of, say, playing basketball?

What time is this due?

It's my pleasure. Go back and add more ideas to each. I don't care if you think you're just adding filler.

4.I chose knitting randomly:p
I want to say more about ballet:I have learned ballet for 5 years in China when I was small,but I gave it up because of studies,but then I left China for another country,I am able to slow down my pace a lil bit and I discovered I always loved dancing,I want to pursue my interest that I gave up when I was small.I love the feeling that the music transports me to another world.

1.Studying in a small class enables me to obtain more attention from the teachers who care about me academically and socially.I get the chance to propose questions and solve them in the class.During class discussions, we have a voice in which we can express our own thoughts and beliefs on the topic at hand. We exchange our ideas and learn from each other in conversation, correcting our mistakes and misconceptions while we do so,I gain a new approach to think differently.A high quality of learning is attained.We are also motivated to meet teachers expectation.

When I integrate in a study group where the students possess the same determination as I do,to excel in studies,I feel a sense of unity exists between us.Knowledge naturally flows.Our intention is not to impress others,but simply to learn for the sake of learning.We influence each other positively and encourage each other to strive tenaciously to achieve our goals.We don't compete with others,but ourselves.The amiable study environment in which we study in groups motivates me to work more efficiently.

I wish to join the Brandeis Academic Debate and Speech Society.Even though I haven't participated in this type of activity,I am open to explore new and challenging experiences and to see what is my full potential.Participating in this event,I will be able to express myself clearly and to speak my mind in front of the public.I will build up my inner confidence and develop analytically thinking skills which prepare me for the future.

I also appreciate its rich diversity because I love to interact with different people coming from different cultural backgrounds. There are always so many thrilling and interesting aspects when we get to know diverse cultures. It provides me a broader view of the world, not restraining myself to certain circles of people. We learn from different people and it prepares us to compete in the international marketplace as well as in the future.

You could do most of that at a community college.

Why would people care about you more at Brandeis? Is it a faith-based school?

We're working on your introduction, by the way.

Jan 15, 2013   #29
LOL. It's a hard question, I know.

Don't sweat the intro yet. Think of how you might improve study group and debate paragraphs.

Here's what I have SO FAR for your first body paragraph. (It's gonna change after I have dinner, which is right now. Be back in about 30 min.)

Studying in small classes will enable me learn and grow in an environment of intimacy and collaboration. During small-group discussions, each student has a unique voice with which to express her own thoughts and beliefs. Students can exchange ideas and learn from each other in conversation, correcting mistakes and clarifying misconceptions. In this regard, Brandeis presents to me the chance to gain an entirely new approach to thinking. Furthermore, individual contact with teachers ensures that I will remain motivated to meet their expectations. NEED ONE MORE SENTENCE HERE (and need to correct the cliche that ended the previous sentence)

I've changed the order of your paragraphs. Below are the first two. I'm working on the third one right now. PROOFREAD THESE; I'm moving as quickly as I can.

INDENT Like most high school students, I'm accustomed to an "assembly-line" system of education wherein productive group work is rare. The Brandeis Undergraduate Group Study program is a source of interest and intrigue to me. I anticipate working with students who share my determination, drive, and desire; who seek unified goals. How could anything but meaningful knowledge result from such an arrangement? My aim is not to impress others but simply to learn for the sake of learning, to compete not with others but with myself.

INDENT Studying in small classes will enable me learn and grow in an environment of intimacy and collaboration. During small-group discussions, each student has a unique voice with which to express her own thoughts and beliefs. Students can exchange ideas and learn from each other in conversation, correcting mistakes and clarifying misconceptions. In this regard, Brandeis presents to me the chance to gain an entirely new approach to thinking-I will be forced to view course material from perspectives totally different from my own. Furthermore, individual and frequent contact with professors will ensure my continued motivation and accountability.

Be sure to respond or make a comment once in a while just so that I'm sure we don't lose contact.

Well, let's hope you feel that way when the next (and final) body paragraph is done...

Ten more min or less I hope.

In the meantime, I need you to write 50-75 words telling me what you've learned about yourself during your high school years. If you wish, you can comment on how you've changed.

Don't worry---I haven't forgotten about the word count.

Write in your own voice. Don't use any big words. Write as though you're talking to a friend.
