Now that I've gone further into the college app process, I've developed a new perspective. Even though the application deadlines and and testing are still a constant pressure, I found that thorough racking our brains for essay topics, the college essays is sort of a recollection of our life until now. Living in this fact-paced world, we are constantly bombarded with new information and always get a feeling that we have to catch up. Since my high school years, I didn't have much time to look back and look into my past. I lived life as it came to me and had always been chasing after a goal, a trend or a deadline. Writing the college essays forced me to pull out my old costume chest, dig out and try out each phase of my life: a significant event, the start of an interest, or describing a personality trait. As I try out these old costumes, I have to analyze my own feelings and organize them into words. This part of the process is probably the most difficult. This involves critical thinking and good writing skills, which is something I am not especially proud of. As I have mentioned in my english narrative essay, my bilingual context have caused me to loose focus on either language.
SAT word of the day:
pensive: dreamily or wistfully thoughtful; deeply thoughtful, often with a tinge of sadness
