College Admissions Essay: A Vivid Dream

Improved Essays
All of my short life I've seen a vivid dream. One where I sit with a ticket in my eager hand, staring out the window of an airplane a million miles in the sky thinking "what next"? With my hard earned Master's degree in psychology and the freedom to start anywhere I choose at hand the possibilities are endless and overwhelming. Even now, as I reminisce on the decisions I've made in my past that have gotten me where I am today. The thought of regretting the hardship I faced throughout high school and the wild ambitious years of my college days never crossed my mind.

Eagerly contemplating what will happen next, none the less antsy to start my life. Fervently planning what will become of me how will this experience help mold me. I'm ready to relentlessly pursue and achieve the great things my hopes, ambitions, and desires lead me to seek.

Suddenly as the plane comes to it's

I'd rather examine how the Borghese Garden's mood and setting effect the human's state of psyche, consciousness and passion. Not only observe those around me, but also to experience it myself. Peering out the window as the cab comes to an gradual holt. Grabing the door "5 minutes please" I tell the driver knowing it won't take long. Remembering that I will soon live a few minutes from the garden, I'll have plenty of time some other day.

"How may I help you" said the assistant? As I explained to him that I'm here to register for a tour. He showed me to a registry table quickly but not to heinous as I grab one and leave. Where too? Excited while telling the driver the address, that's walking distance he implied. Not shortly after as he drives throught big gates he asked what are you doing in Rome, are you visiting? As he comes to a stop I open the door and say this is

    Only Time Will Tell Have you ever wondered where you’d be in life if it wasn’t for that special someone? Well, if it wasn’t for my younger brother Alex, I would more than likely be in a very dark place in my life. When my brother was only two years of age a school bus ran him over. The impact of the school bus running over a portion of his body almost killed him right in front of me. I was only six at the time, and I can’t help but think, if he didn’t make it through that accident on that horrible day, how my life would been completely different now, and not in a good way.…

    Early in my life, I chose to get a grasp on the careers I wanted to pursue, so when the time came I was ready. Clearly, I had been conquering the time before the instance even came into play. I became a college student after just two years in high school and undoubtedly, that has been the best decision I have ever made. I have placed myself in many situations where I thought, “this is the end, and it is never going to work” and I surprised myself every single time. Obstacles always seemed quite impossible, not because the task, at hand, was lengthy but rather because I am a person.…

    "You just didn't have a sparkle in your eye. " Only a few weeks after my seventeenth birthday, I sat in front of a panel of adults I had once adored as they told me why they had crushed my lifelong dream. For obvious reasons, I did not like the answer. My entire life I had dedicated to performing- singing, dancing, and acting. I always had a desire to be a star someday, and when I was awarded the voice scholarship at my high school and given featured roles in the musical every year, I thought my opportunity to be a star was finally within reach.…

    My Rough Reality As days pass, I'd notice myself all alone. No one to my left, no one to my right, all alone, from left in right. It started in my early adulthood, it started minor, but now I can't even go outside without being paranoid or given dirty looks, I spend most of my time staring at the wall, thinking, if there's any hope, or meaning left to my life anymore. It usually ends up with me screaming, and crying; crying myself to my sleep, or sometimes barely getting any sleep, because the voices usually wake me up, constantly. It convinces me to open my eyes, but I try not to listen, because I know they're right in front of me.…

The most probable source of my happiness would have to be finally believing I’ve done something great, something generating that gratifying feeling of “I made it”.

    I’ve always been the type of student who puts a lot of pressure on herself. Generally, I get good results too; my grades are top notch. The journey there, however, isn’t always pretty. I used to stress myself out to the point of panic attacks, often over things that weren’t worth it: a test that was below my usual standard, an essay that I didn’t think was good enough, a math concept that I didn’t immediately understand. My mind became a cluttered and noisy place, full of worries, doubts, and “what ifs”.…

    In December, shortly after I ran my first marathon, my best friend gave me a necklace with a running shoe pendant. He knew that running a marathon before I turned eighteen had been a goal of mine for a long time, and that I had put in countless hours of training for months to reach my goal. Today, I wear the necklace as a reminder of my accomplishment, and to push myself to be better not only in my running, but in my everyday life. Now that the track season has started, my necklace provides me with motivation during intense workouts. The soft bounce of the pendant against my chest tells me that if I ran a marathon at the age of seventeen, I can persevere through one workout.…

I gave myself an entire weekend just to read over the class notes and think about me; about my lifespan. I have learned to take life as it comes.
