<p>My American and Danish parents founded a rehabilitation center for street children in the Philippines (where I was born and have lived all my life). I am fluent in Tagalog and Danish. I am also a novice at French. I have been home-schooled since preschool to 8th grade. My current elementary school in one called Calvert School with a prestigious reputation.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Personally, I'm worried I have a high chance of rejection =/</p>
<p>Do you do any ECs, and community service. If you do, you should list them so we have a better idea. Chance me back :)</p>
<p>Well that’s a really good hook (hey good job).</p>
<p>Outside of school I have many hobbies. I am a music lover and a guitar player. I am a theater buff and participate in most of my mother’s productions. One time I played a narrator in a Christmas play and had to speak all three of my languages for the actors and audience to understand. I am an artist and have a passion for painting, drawing and photography. I am an athlete and enjoy volleyball, soccer, basketball, swimming, dodgeball and kayaking. Long distance biking and hiking and rock climbing are also quite pleasurable.
As I said before, my parents founded and run a rehabilitation center for children It is called Stairway. I pride myself in being a peer motivator there. I work with children who have been physically, sexually and psychologically abused. I am friend for those most in need of one.
When the children first arrive from the detention centers in Manila (the capital of the Philippines), their faces are pale, thin and gaunt. They are small and weak. Their arms and legs are covered in scabies. They rarely smile and are quite quiet. I immediately welcome them to Stairway like a student would introduce the new kid in school. It doesn’t take too long before they warm up to me. We talk and get to know each other.
In less than a month’s time, we’re thick as thieves. Anyone who would see us playing together wouldn’t believe that we have only known each other for a month. The reason is that I dedicate my time to these kids. It’s not because I have to, it’s because I want to. I enjoy being the friend of these children. We play sports like basketball and soccer together. We sleep on the beach underneath the stars and catch crabs by the seashore together. I teach them how to swim properly and help them rid themselves of their fear of darkness. At night we eat together and sing songs and tell stories to each other. More and more, we become like a big band of brothers.
The children stay in the center for a year. They have changed so dramatically since the day they arrived. If one was to compare photos from the day they arrived and the day they leave, they would be in shock. They wouldn’t be able to believe that the strong, healthy and confident young boys were those small, sickly, shy ones. This drastic transformation is even more of a shock for the people who know these boys personally. They are no longer shy and quiet, but confident and unafraid to express themselves. After a year of being constantly together, I feel a bit sad that the boys are leaving. A part of myself always goes with them. However, we try to keep in contact by telephone and e-mail. Many boys tell me how they are doing well in school. The older ones usually go to a school that specializes in mechanics, agriculture or sports. I feel proud when I hear this, knowing that I contributed to their lives for the better. I’ll never forget what one boy said to me before he left Stairway: “You know Zach, even though your parents may be rich and you have all the things you could want, you don’t show that off. You’re not like how other rich people are. You’re not stuck-up and full of yourself. You’re a down-to-earth and kind person. I have never had a friend like you before. Thanks for everything.”</p>
<p>Maybe this is what you should use on one of your essays…if it’s not too late.</p>
<p>My above post is actually an excerpt from one of my essays I wrote them about my life…So how do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>Why don’t you chance me?</p>
