PROMPT: I felt like I truly belonged when... (200 characters)
In an intricate ballet of unspoken communication, explosive strokes, aggressive volleys, and a spark of magic, Lauren and I proved our point. Game, set, and match. We were undeniably a doubles team.
PROMPT: What is something you created that makes you especially proud, and why? (700 characters)
"That is the ugliest work of art - if you call it art- ever."
My sister, the one-stroke-paint wonder, disdainfully held up my clay creation, button nose crinkled in evident distaste. Truth be told, Mr. Tiki was ugly. An off-centered lumpy snout, pouty lips in an "O!". Baleful eyes glaring at me accusingly. Why did you make hideous?
"I love it!" My mother: the enduring advocate for misfits. She had a passion for salvaging- a frayed, patchwork quilt, a painting which made me cringe. She saw the beauty in contrast when others failed to notice.
With her love, Mr. Tiki was oddly endearing, charming even. I re-examined my art, proud that I too could recognize the loveliness within the neglected.
PROMPT: A distinctive feature of the Brown Curriculum is the opportunity to be the architect of your education.
Why does this academic environment appeal to you? (700 characters)
In sixth grade, architecture was my career flavor of the month. It seemed glamorous. "See that skyscraper? I built that."
However, after discovering that I would be required to draw (I couldn't) and master high-level math (I wouldn't), I cast my short-lived dream aside.
Regardless, I remained attracted to the ability to create permanence, to leave a legacy. At Brown University, I can build something enduring: my education.
With Brown's 70 distinct concentrations, my design can take any form I choose. I can pursue International Relations, Development Studies, Health and Human Biology, or even create an Independent Concentration in order to fulfill my goal: Global Health.
Architects are free to build what they love. At Brown, I too can combine my passions into one magnificent skyscraper
I am over 94 characters in this one, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
