College Admissions Essay: The Future Is In The Future

Improved Essays
With always looking forward to certain times, I will never be able to appreciate what is happening today. Whether it be a countdown to: Christmas, Graduation, or till I move into college; I will not be able to look back and have fond memories if I am constantly looking into the future.

    I admire College Board's purpose statement,"Challenging all students to own their future. " This statement describes what needs to happen in the minds of all young people today.

I am immensely proud of all that we have accomplished, but I cannot say that this would be my personal vision for America. Maybe I was born in the wrong time, or maybe I was just raised in an old fashioned state of mind, but my ideal vision for America would be more of a flashback.
