Stanford essay: I am...I like...

Prompt: Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your future roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your future roommate -- and us -- know you better.

I don't know if this sounds right, it seems to be a little gay also (not racist or sexist but is not who I am.) Suggestions, comments, etc...are welcomed. Thank you in advance.

I will start playing "Let it be" by The Beatles on my guitar as soon as I wake up so I will probably be an alarm. I will be playing soccer trying to impress my coaches, so do not cross the soccer unless you want to get hit by a ball. I will be studying for an exam at 2:00 a.m. if necessary, so I will be in the library all night if someone needs me.

Although laziness forms part of my teenager's mind you should know that studying will be a crucial part of my everyday agenda because it is my curious mind craving information, and stealing "words of wisdom" from books; it could be English, not my native language, but one that I will master as I have mastered the art of cooking; it could be Math, the hardest of all subjects for me, specially statistics, but one that I will conquer as I have conquered soccer fields in Mexico and United States; it could be Spanish--the inherited passion I received from my mother and father. But as soon as I exit the library and I say good bye to the librarian I will play "Fiesta" [Party], a song I wrote on December 25, 2005, on my guitar as celebration.

My guitar is my inanimate friend; it has always been there for me. If I cry, for joy or for grief, my guitar is the handkerchief for my tears. It was there for me when I came from Mexico to the United States; it was there for me when I began to date Lorena Flores, the first true love of my short life; it was there for me when my parents almost divorced twice. Although my guitar has accompanied me during important events in my life, I am happy to know I will have someone and not something who will be there for me during college-my roommate.

I like this essay. It makes you seem like a very interesting and unique person, which is exactly what they're looking for with the prompt. Maybe you could address the question a little bit more though by assessing how your actions will effect your roommate. I don't know for sure whether or not you should do that though, but its an idea.

Question for everyone doing stanford app:

On the profile question that asks "what are your favorite events from the last year," is it favorite events that happened in the world, or your personal events?

What were your favorite events (e.g., performances, exhibits, sporting events, etc.) this past year? This is the exact question. I think it refers to yours...idk

Okay thanks.
