<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[li] Essays: Best and most touching one I ever wrote. The money in your pocket one was very very risky, but apparently it worked out. </p>[/li]
<p>Money in Pocket Essay: I wrote about my name...how when I moved from Korea the name's meaning completely changed...and how I got mocked for it...and how I overcame that with a very humorous twist on it...</p>
<p>In the end this is basically what I said: "I now realize that my sister, who seemed to assimilate perfectly into the environment also faced the same pains I did, and I said I would soothe our pain together by playing classical music on our instruments"</p>
<p>Favorite Class: I wrote how I was shocked by a suprise assignment in Spanish class: Create and memorize a rhyming rap in 10 minutes, and perform it live in front of the foreign language supervisor. I wrote how I was more than a mere replica of a textbook, and that I was named the ''King of Rap" -- I'm Korean by the way, not hispanic as my username implies.</p>
<p>[li] Teacher Recs: 1 from Chemistry AP teacher that I really showed improvement on, 1 from Spanish 4 Honors that I did the rap assignment with. Both of them came to thank me before I came to thank them -- I suppose this mean I had really great recs :)</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Counselor Rec: Never read it...but I bet she wrote a nice one</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Hook (if any): OMG...tons and tons of music related EC's...I played in All-State Band AND Orchestra for 3 years...+ region + county + many invitation only activities...[/li]I also play 5 instruments: Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone saxophone...I learned all 3 saxophones in high school.</p>
