I'm a dreamer. It's who I am. It keeps me going. It drives me and it makes me work harder. It feeds my inspiration, keeps me young at heart, and wise of head.

I had the opportunity to intern at the University of...Read more...Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school232 Words(Favorite website and why?) Honestly, my favorite online destination isn't some super genius website. It's not a business minded forum, or electronics focused YouTube channel. That'd probably make it easier to explain. Nope, my favorite online destination is www.imgur.com. Used to share images and funnies, imgur is one of my favorite websites. I love it because from one image to the next it can change from lighthearted and funny, to sad and disheartening. It also is a huge...Read more...Additional Essay Details49 WordsMy main essay was not as strong as it could have been.
