<p>The first two sentences for my UIUC engineering essay is a humorous statement that has to do with a statistic of how many people of my ethnicity are involved in the career that I am going into (sorry for being vague).</p>
<p>Any ideas for a matching closing statement? I was thinking something about how I am more than just a statistic and that I am creative enough to bring about a difference in my career.</p>
<p>Any ideas are greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Maybe something like:
“I want to be more than just a statistic; I don’t want to be a dot on a scattergram, but rather a human being that makes a difference.”</p>
<p>I think it’s pretty good for 20 seconds of thinking!:)</p>
<p>thanks for 20 seconds! ;)</p>
<p>any more ideas? please post.</p>
<p>i’m going to get it checked by a lit teacher tomorrow, i’ll let you know if i get something better</p>
<p>Sometimes, a good humorous opener does not need to be balanced at the end. It’s recognized as catchy and the rest of the piece takes over in it’s own- but related- tone. Never let them see you sweat.</p>
