<p>Essays -
.The personal experience for what makes me proud of who I am - Wrote about how my volunteer experience at the SEA LAB, giving tours, monitoring birthday parties, etc, helped me overcome a life-long fear of public speaking and how it has now become one of my greatest strengths.</p>
<p>.World around me and how it has affected my dreams and aspirations - described my cross country team's culture, how they became my community, and how it inspired me to not only run with them until we are gray-haired old men, but also to take part in as many groups in my life that foster the importance of camaraderie.</p>
<p>Everyone who has read my essays, from my AP english teacher to my friends at Stanford and Columbia Univeristy said they were very well written, but I guess it depends how the schools like the topics I chose</p>
<p>I appreciate your honest feedback greatly, thank you! Also if i forgot to mention something in here, just mention so and i'll post it.</p>
