UChicago or Harvard Topic of your choice
X years I have lived in this world; for x,I could not accept the "what",for x, I diced through the "hows", for x, I sliced the "whys" and now I try to realize who is standing in front of me. Each time I stare at the mirror, three people stare back at me - Intellectual, Adventurous and Artistic me(s).
Intellectual me yelped her first cry at xxxxxx, the busy town of yyyy. Outwardly, she is a charming young girl. In school, she is loved by her teachers and respected by her peers. Growing up as an only child, she received her parents' utmost attention - allotted her many advantages; she did not have to share her toys with any brothers or sisters, nor did she compete for attention within my family.She has supportive and loving parents who have always told her she could do anything she set her mind to. This phrase has set in over the years, and the encouragement it holds never fails to inspire her.They sent her to school in zzz, one of the top in the country, where she met peers who shared her academic interest.The intense but friendly academic rivalry has helped her set her standards and aspirations to a high level. She also took part in Olympiads,though she failed twice, it only gave her two reasons to try again
Artistic me naturally leapt out when she was introduced to the culinary world of baking- standing in the middle of the white-tiled floor of her mother's kitchen dressed in a flour-stained apron, oven mitts and a powdered face, armed with the harmony of the rhythmic shaking of sugar which marked the beat, , with the whisking of the eggs and constant setting on the timer, all merging to form the melody - the idyllic sound track of the kitchen. She enjoyed the slow process of measuring, sifting, and stirring; waiting as the dough rises in the oven and the house becomes saturated with the scents of butter and flour and definitely sugar; pulling the pans out of the oven and finding the dough transformed into something golden and beautiful which excites her core. While reducing the amount of sugar and adding a little salt, forgetting to set the timer or over-estimating measurements can result in calamities, a few alterations from the recipe can result to triumph. She learned that great bakers are never those who follow every line in a cook book but add their creativity to introduce something new to the oven.
My first time in an airplane - a two week trip to Ethiopia sparked Adventurous me. I will explain how I became adventurous.
I have just begun to realize who I am. I am the sum of my experiences, my genes, my personality. Though I am staring at a mirror, I am starting to understand that I am unique in my own way. There is no other way to put it; I am xxxx - intellectual, adventurous and artistic.
Should I submit this essay to UChicago or Harvard, as I do not want to send the same essay to two universities. The word count is around 480 or so out of 650. Is this essay good for either Harvard or UChicago, which does the essay appeal more to. Suggestions are highly needed. Go very hard on this essay.
Thank You.
I will post Adventurous me later, please just review this in the meantime.
