College Admissions Essay: To Me, The Noble

Superior Essays
To myself, the noble.

How can I find a single reason to stay alive when the shining light of yesterday is a promise on borrowed time? It’s a dream warped by sadness, a world in pieces that I am obligated to rebuild in her name. Success simply means we get to move on with our lives but move forward sharing the profits with friends. Failure is not an option for failure would mean we should kill ourselves for the disgrace of defeat would be too shameful to bear. We must make our company, we must create the dream, and we must, for we have never failed before.
We have never suffered a massive failure in our lives, in sports we had always placed, in education we were the very best, specifically history, we got merit scholarships and proudly hoisted several academic rewards with pride, even when we suffered a massive concussion and memory lost, we were still in the top 25 percentile. When we applied for college, we only applied to one, for I knew they had to accept me and they had the best mix of skillful teachers and desperation for money. What our family taught us most was that not matter how righteous you are, if you lack the conviction then you will simply be known as a good man, not a successful one. That is why I will win, for I have a desire to win. I have too much riding on this company and so do our friends, they are loyal and skillful, a combination we both know is lacking this day and age. It reminds me of the book, Infinite Jest, there was a tennis player who held a gun to his head while he played. The only difference between me and all my watchers is that I do not keep a gun to my head at least not in public. It’s rather humorous when I am praised for my friendly and caring nature, especially when after the day is done I go to my room and ask myself if I am worthy to live another day. It is important to ask this question, I ask myself it as if it was a casual as asking myself if I brushed my teeth before bed. I give myself exceptions once in a great while, especially when I have taken ill or similar situations. Failure to hit my personal quote was generally hit with depression though, for I truly felt unworthy to live if I can’t pull myself up. This is the struggle I am besieged with, I know you, the noble, the personification of all my family lessons; moral ambiguity, ambition, greed, tradition, the desire to be the top authority. I accept you are a part of me, but I will reject you as long as I can. I fear this is a losing battle, but maybe a middle ground could be found, one that will turn me into a successful businessman. We are both men of actions, we do not need to worry about our words for we perfer to show our ability in what we love. We both wield our weaknesses well in the field. Our Aspergers makes us more single minded, but in doing so it makes us more focused on the task at hand, with that knowledge we complete great amounts of work in a short amount of time. It is

I hate rapists for they took Nora from me and I will surely make any I end up personally meeting suffer. I hate those that try to stand before me, obstacles in the way of my ambitions shall be moved aside, with as minimum force as needed. I tend to hate unpleasantries but once in a great while I will go out of my way for what must be done. I hate ideology too, but that is because I tire of hearing who’s good is better or which political party is worse, especially when we have so much propaganda, though I do admit I actively fought against a trump presidency because that man cared little about the American people. His recent actions over just the first month in office only proves how unqualified he is as a national leader so I forgive myself for the hypocrisy of my prior statement on ideology. I try to reason my hatred, if I hate for the sake of hate I stop myself and ask why, if I can’t find an answer then I continue on my path, unburdened by

    It is often said that teenagers begin discovering themselves in high school, but I did the opposite- I lost myself. The source of my pleasure and delight shifted from books to parties, writing to boys, and video-games to my social life. Something within me desperately craved to be normal- to no longer be the girl that gets harassed and ostracized for being an “appalling nerd” and because of this, vital aspects of my personality began to change and I morphed into an entirely different person. Through this journey, I learned that my self-hate was a catalyst for self-love and appreciation. Having always been considered an unusual girl in the eyes of my peers, I'd never been truly comfortable in my skin.…

    "When I was young, my father used to say, 'If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die.' I thought about these words during my journey, and they kept me moving even when I didn't know where I was going. Those words became the vehicle that drove my spirit forward and made it stay alive." (Beah 54).…

    With an 8-0 record and a combined point total of 217-14, everyone in our district had high expectations. As the seasons changed and the leaves broke apart and disappeared from sight, so did our highly coveted class of 2018. Half of my teammates either open enroll to other schools or just simply quit with no rhyme or reason to why. What would follow within the next three seasons was nothing less of an absolute beatdown from our opponents. I won't lie, it was heart-wrenching to witness all the work us remaining boys put in and to still have no trophy or banner to represent our efforts.…

    I want to take this opportunity to sincerely and formally thank you for all you have done and made possible in helping me progress throughout my time here at SPC. My experience as a member of the Honors College has enhanced my life through the fellowship, better course environments, and the exceptional research conference opportunities and exposure that your leadership has provided.

I know many Honors College alumni privately express this very same message to you ― but your total giving of time, energy, creativity, and true caring should receive far more formal acknowledgement.…

    An individual’s characteristics are indicated by the differences between that individual and the people surrounding them. This world is competitive; we must compete for acceptance in society, as Thomas Malfus asserted in his 1798 essay, “The Principle of Population”.

    I have been an “honors” student since the fifth grade. After graduating high school, I had no intention of purposefully participating in anymore advanced or gifted or honors classes, anything more rigorous than normal was ultimately not on my radar. After all, these are the type of classes I had known my entire school career. Nonetheless, I was slightly disappointed when I found out that students were invited to join the honors college on immediate acceptance to Georgia State and I had not been one of those lucky souls. But I figured it was for the best at the time.…
