My Epiphany Application Essay

Improved Essays
First and foremost, thank you for taking time out of your day to reading this application. I have spent many hours thinking of what to write in this section, ever since I was given the withdrawal status back in the winter term. Hopefully by the time you finish reading this explanation, you will realize what happened to me, and how I have changed from the child I was, to the person I was always meant to be through the understanding of my epiphany. Hopefully, I will be able to persuade the committee to allow myself back into your prestige university. Also, forewarning, this explanation may seem bleak, but this is the reality. There is no point in hiding anything at this point. Let us begin; although, my reasons for readmission were childish …show more content…
For that, I apologize to the school, to my family and especially to myself. I do not want to blame anyone or want to make excuses, such as “my residence was too loud” or “not being able to balance my schedule” because I realized, many students go through the same exact process. What makes me so different from them? As each day passes by during the winter term, I woke up after four hours of sleep each day to watch the sunrise from my residence window, which was when I came to a realization of my epiphany. Time. Time is the only things that matter in one’s life. Time is the unit of measurement, not numbers, not money, not anything. I have realized what we as humans are capable of, but there is still one thing we don 't understand. Everything can be bought, but time itself, cannot be bought back. I watched day by day, as my life withers by, thinking of what I could do, instead of what I have to do now, to pursue my goals in this life. I realized the people in the entire world are on borrowed time. My grandparents from both families are gone, before long, my parents will be gone too, then myself along with my …show more content…
All gone from this world, just how life was intended to be. You may recall some people said their life flashed before their eyes, well, I had the similar experience. The only thing we take with us on our dying beds is a flash memory of our entire life of what we have done. Not what we could have done but what we have done. I call it “reflection memory”. From then on, I chose to not waste any time on unnecessary tasks and to pursue the one that truly matters to me. The protection of my family. I want my last memory in this life, is to see myself provide my family a safe life while letting them pursue their dreams in peace. By giving me permission back into this institution, it will definitely save me time I do not have from the foundation term process. I understand I was given a chance to prove myself during the winter term period, but with the short given time and certain teaching methods of certain

At my old school in 10th grade I was in theatre, then the following year I was bullied out, and I desperately missed theatre. It was my life, I enjoy it so much and it is such a part of me. So coming here and deciding to audition on just the second day of school was a really big deal for me.

    Thank you for considering The University of North Florida as your home for the next four years. The admissions team is very displeased to inform you that there will not be room here for you at our college. After reviewing your essay and application we were all very entertained but doubtful we would ever be able to meet you.

    And after that, finally, I came back last Spring 2015. As a result, when I decided to come back to school, The Committee of Graduate School told me that I should improve my cumulative GPA over 3.0, if then, they will allow me to keep going to school from Spring 2016. It means that if I would not improve my cumulative GPA, I would be denied from school right after this Autumn 2015 semester. I know it is a penalty, but it is pretty hard.…

    At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people. What I believe makes California stand out from the other towns is that it has the “oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi” (Kunze). But the thing that impacts me most about this town is the California High School, it’s staff, and the students.…

    The basic facts that I have given in my general application are only the facts that have been written down and kept record of. They don’t tell you who I am as a person, nor do they tell you if I would be a good candidate for your school.

I would first like to start off saying that your school is at the top of my list, as well as many others. I know that I am a perfect candidate for FIT as I have learned many great things in high school and at the community college I attend that will benefit me on my journey as I go to transfer to a four year University of my choice.…
