Other people track their growth through trends of clothes or the progression of their artwork from macaroni mosaics to landscapes and portraits. I track mine through Shakespeare plays with Lori. I can’t remember the first play we saw together—maybe it was Love’s Labour’s Lost. I was in the 5th grade and as we sat in the comfortable theater seats, I understood not a word and I struggled to stay awake. At the time, I vaguely remembered...Read more...Supplemental Essay Strong beliefs/principles132 WordsIt would have been easy to give in to my natural timidity and let the boys of the drum line continue to torment me.

In a community that...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school168 WordsThough I first admired Jane Goodall because she played with monkeys for a living, she soon became my inspiration and role model. Her book, In the Shadow of Man, played a major role in sparking my interest in animal behavior and advocacy.

The summer after my freshman year, I did what I thought I was "supposed to do" in order to get into college, and I went to a pre-college program where I took a history class. It was an interesting class, but the program in general was fairly miserable for me. So the...Read more...High School Performance
