<p>overall, it was a positive experience, i was excited. i was there and know and loved the place.</p>
<p>i did the best i could given what i had to work with (my past 4 years of academics and extracurriculars). it was bittersweet looking back at the 4 years and realizing how even though i could've been more "ambitious" or "passionate", i know deep down that had my high school years gone any other way (i don't know, captained a sports team, or founded some amazing club etc.) i wouldn't be who i am RIGHT NOW. and i love who i am right now and what i am doing.</p>
<p>had it not been the mistakes in the past 4 years, i would have been a different person, and i really wouldn't have liked that.</p>
<p>i submitted a writing supplement without having everyone read it. i got 1 or 2 friends to check for standpoint negative points and after a small revision, submitted it. i followed my gut feeling and just...did it.</p>
<p>my interview was emotion-packed; i got slightly emotional talking about the mentally ill and the homelessness, and said some things that i wish i hadn't because they may come off in the wrong way. but what's done is done. it might have been amazing or it might have been scary; i am not my interviewer, so i woldn't know.</p>
<p>and now, the application is complete and everything is done.</p>
<p>my 2nd term starts in 2 days...and i can continue to be who i am, and i will treasure that over anything that i will receive in an email 2 months from now.</p>
<p>enjoy 2nd term, guys! and remember, you have 1/2 year left to find out who yo truly are, who you want to be, and in some vague way, what you want to do with life! :)</p>
