<p>My essays, I think, were exceptionally strong and personal. One of them I talked about the time I observed open heart surgery at Hoag Hospital with my mentor. The other essay, about my world and how it shaped my aspirations, was centered around the exposure in my life whether it was for the good or the bad and how I have witnessed things without filter and have gotten" the absolute truth, and not a censored, deceiving form of it". I gave two specific, experiences in my life that illustrated my exposure.</p>
