Prompt #1 (freshman applicants)
Describe the world you come from for example, your family, community or school and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.</p>
<p>--#1:
---(these are my ideas, in a sense-its what I posted on a forum to get feedback) i can talk about being indian, and how i always read indian newspapers and am shocked at the destruction in india. there are thousands of people in india who are illiterate, hundreds of thousands are suffering from a disease, and the majority have no money to live. i visit india almost every year and i see no progress in the country. it may be rising to be one of the global powers but the nation still doesnt care for its people. i want to be a pharmacist because i want to use this knowledge in medicine to go around the world (maybe teaming up with doctors) and helping people out with the type of medication they should take. many people around the world, who suffer from a disease, cannot do a thing about it, because they have no cash. (is this a good start or is this more leaning towards prompt 2?)</p>
<p>--- (this is what my beginning is going to look like) i come from the land where four lions stand atop a pillar rawring in the four directions. I come from a land where the nation motto is Satyameva Jayate -Truth Alone Triumphs. i come from the great land- India. Although i was born in California, i was raised with Indian culture, Indian thoughts, and Indian beliefs. I always regarded India as the best country and i still respect it more than any other nation i have visited, however there were things in India that moved me. I remember driving along the 101 highway, there i saw a sign. Littering Fine- $100. and sure enough the area was sparkling clean. there were only healthy people roaming the streets. those who needed a job were scarcely found, or at least unrecognizable. But india was a different country. the moment you step out of the airport terminal you are welcomed by a wave of people who you could actually recognize as employed or unemployed. Many people who walked the roads were hunch-backed, crouching, bleeding, and poorly dressed. Was there no moral standard in India? or was the government not keen on compassion? Why was there a difference between america and India? India was a early country, started in 3000 BC, while america was found in the mid 1600's. </p>
<p>---What I want to do with this prompt is describe my life in America and then discuss my first visit to India, describing how shocked I was that the conditions were so poor compared to America. Then I would explain some of the things that were so much worse than in America that really inspired me to want to help change things. Like I guess talking about how great life in America is, will serve as a sharp contrast against the poor conditions in India and get the reader to feel even more sympathetic to the message, but im not sure if thats what the essay is asking?. ---</p>
<p>Prompt #2 (all applicants)</p>
<p>Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?</p>
<p>--This is going to be on public speaking</p>
<p>tenth and eleventh grade were the years i surprisingly shined. i never used to talk in class. i rarely raised my hand. it was just so embarrassing for me. every time the teacher called on me to read to the class or answer a question my ears would turn a shade of deep pink. i always wondered what the others would say or think about me. i never got together my own mental conscience, and never took a chance at life. however, in tenth grade i was assigned to make a video about some book we read (using a modern outtake) and show it to the class.. as the movie ran on, my head was buried under my arms, shying away from the rest of the world where they would see my hideous and horrid acting. after the movie ended, everyone turned to me and said i did an excellent job, even the teacher was surprised. then for our Individual Learning Project, we each had to learn something and present it to the class. many chose dancing, or gardening, however i chose to learn a language- Hindi. We each had two practice rounds, where we would practice how to formally speak, etc. then the final presentation of what we learned. I nailed each and every presentation and shocked myself slightly more than i had shocked the class. every time i went up there i was, a different person. i was no longer a shy person, but rather a public spokesman, enjoying every last bit of it. then in 11th grade we had to present a decade for US history. my group chose the 70's and i was appointed to overlook the entire project and be Nixon, and recite a speech about the war in vietnam. I was really nervous, i could practically hear my heart beating and i felt like my chest would explode shooting out small confetti pieces full of blood . when i started my Nixon speech i could see 38 pairs of eyes gleaming on me, laughing at me for the way i acted, watching me from every angle. But halfway through i started gaining mental control and shocked the teacher and everyone in the class..</p>
