I'm not the best writer because I tend to lack creativity sometimes so it would be great if I can have some people's input and corrections on this essay. I can take criticism
Prompt: Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
Also, would this be able to be used as the "someone who made an impact in your life" prompt for a different University?!
I fixed my attention to every microscopic detail on this reappearing guy who goes by Junyong. He lives here in Seoul, Korea with his grandmother and I happen to get the chance to hang out with him every other year, not even knowing whom he is. Something about him made me skeptical about his intentions. It didn't have to do with his charismatic, but suspiciously ambiguous personality, but instead, the story in his eyes. What he doesn't know about me is that I have a unique skill; I can perceive other's emotions by looking at different factors, but essentially, I can read a person's eyes despite the words that come out of their mouth.
The anxiety in the air is seeping into my skin causing me to break out in goose bumps all over. The tension continues to build and build until Junyong unyieldingly said, "Our mom gave birth to me before moving to America. I'm your older brother."
After that critical moment, my emotions shattered and flew in all different directions to the point where I did not have the will power to pick the pieces back up. I felt tears running down my face, slowly dripping off my nose and chin and splashing onto the wooden floors. Furious at my mom for making me feel lied to my entire life, I punched the most nearby, breakable entity near me, which happened to be an old vanity mirror. My body felt brittle and helpless, almost like all of the energy was drained out of me, and then all of a sudden I felt his hand rest gently upon my shoulder. Shortly after did I realize, that life isn't meant to be perfect. Anything with a beating heart will face an almost impossible obstacle at one point in its life. Life was never meant to be easy for me because my endurance reflects my perseverance and dedication. But at that moment, is when I realized life's philosophy, and my reasoning and ideology on life's struggles; all it takes is, patience, perseverance and time to put those pieces of glass back together.
