College Admissions Essay: How Love Changed My Life

Improved Essays
What is life without feeling love? We’re all bound to find out what love feels like. We are told that one day we’ll find the ‘one’. Except I haven’t. I have always been so busy with life, from high school, to graduation, to college, to work. I never had time to fall in love, I was thrown into life and I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t indulge on what could have changed my life. I just went with the flow and didn’t really live. I was just alive. I didn’t have many people in my life, just my mom and dad when they were alive, and of course my best friend. I never felt like I needed more, they were enough, but that was then. By the time I wanted to do something with my life, it was too late. I guess I was born to be alone in this world. I am not going to deny it, I have always wanted something more in my life. I have missed out on living. I am 56 now living in Philadelphia, but soon I will cease to exist. I have blood cancer, inoperable. A death sentence from the moment I entered through the doctor 's doors. I have three months to live. I want to die feeling fulfilled. I have to go back in …show more content…
Yes! I can go back now. Everything in our lives will change! I will go back feeling accomplished, with love in my heart. I will be able to die in peace. It was time for me to go back to my time. I went back to the other train car. The time machine was going to be in the janitor 's closet. I programmed it to stay in a janitor 's closet at any travel. I opened the closet and it wasn’t there. What! No. I closed the door and opened it again in hope for it to reappear. It didn’t! Oh no, I checked my watch. It’s been 3 hours and 5 minutes. How could this happen! How did time go by so quickly? I stayed on task and did everything I was supposed to, I stuck to the schedule. Think Zahra, think! I got it! I have to rebuild the machine! Surely, I’ve never built one before, but I spent a lot of time watching my dad build the machine. I can do it. I will go find the parts as soon as I get

She threw me my most secure life line when I was seven years old. My parents bought a heavy, ancient and well-used upright piano from one of our neighbors many years ago.

    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.…

No matter what was going on in my life, I could always get lost in the fantastical adventures of Star Wars or even the mundane happenings in The Office. With each new story that I consumed, my mind created five more. For me, writing just started out as a way for me to clear all of these thought-tangents out of my head. I would keep random journals everywhere and just jot down whatever came to me throughout the day.…

    Growing up, I was always surrounded by family and friends at all times. There was nothing to worry about but continue to be happy and live my life as it was going. As I began growing up, I got to understand more why people were put in your life and why you experienced different moments with different people. From this, I was starting to realize what life really is about. Being in a two-year relationship, then breaking up unpredictably taught me how to become independent of my own self, take care of myself, and have self-love before I want to take care of others and have a love for others.…
