<p>okay I am reposting this...</p>
<p>Like...in my Princeton essay...I am writing about how a specific person influenced me as a child and how I attempted to define myself by mimicing her, but in the end it was all good cause I got over that, you know:)...and I wanted to put something like this in the conclusion:
Today, I still look up to her, especially as she is now entering her sophomore year at Princeton, which I hope to someday do as well. However, I no longer feel a dependence upon her in order to define my place in life.</p>
<p>or something along those lines. what do you think? Inappropriate? Or perfectly acceptable to display interest?</p>
<p>Thanks for the input!</p>
