Is the essay too generic? The context has gone a little awkward, since I tried to fit in the 1800 character limit. Please have a read and leave a comment, I would really, really, really appreciate your opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if you can point out the grammatical errors, that would be SUPERB :D)

"So the caprolactam rings open, followed by multiple condensation polymerizations to produce nylon 6,6. The chain produced here has directing peptide bonds..."
What a big load of gibbers! Sometimes, I seem to be perfectly familiar with each word, but would just not be able to comprehend what they conglomerate into. Poking a friend to ask what they mean, I am stunned by his harsh words of don't-bother-learning-what's-not-in-our-syllabus. Turning to a teacher for a finer answer, I am upset to discover that he too responds similarly. This is what I daily encounter in my high school, with minimum interaction between teachers and students, class notes recycled over years, and hackneyed curriculum with little diversity. I have always been willing to pioneer my own education and enhance my uniqueness, but the circumstances did not let me to do so.
In this sense, Stanford University is a perfect institution to satiate my thirst for originality, diversity and freedom, so as to recall individuality in me. A tight-knit faculty would pop off my real-time curiosities through personal, detailed inculcations, while the group discussions with the brains from all parts of the globe will expand my cultural, ethnic understandings as part of my becoming-a-global-citizen scheme. As the school's motto, "the wind of freedom blows", suggests, a high degree of freedom is guaranteed in designing my own sets of classes. Since the declaration of specific major does not begin until the junior year, I would be able to have a good taste of each field of studies offered before choosing the most suitable major. Academic reasons aside, my passion for drums will finally blossom as a percussionist of LSJUMB, rocking out "All Right Now" in inter-school clashes. All these are possible, exclusively at Stanford.
