You're one of the strongest, bravest, smartest people I have ever come across on the internet. Thank you for sharing this. My chest was tight with your story, it was NOT pathetic. Thanks for being so genuine, your writing was beautiful.
Quon Howery hey I’m an incoming UCSD student and I want to transfer to cal tech or MIT in 2 years. I notice in ur essays you used lots of vocabulary and rhetorical devices. Could I write a killer personal essays by just being straight forward? I’m not a literature person so writing never clicks with me. Thank you so much for sharing your essay
@@noddlexxx9161 I think since Adcoms read so many thousands of essays you gotta portray your straight forward ideas in a unique light. The repetition of crumbs was wonderful. Find some object that connects with you and use it as a metaphor to frame your story. Ps. You don’t need to be a “good” writer to write a great essay. Read a bunch of accepted essays to get the wordplay and flow in-I feel that most of these great essays have similar structures and themes-you can learn a lot from just reading them.
I cried reading this. Thank you so much for sharing. I was debating writing about somewhat sad stories in my essay and I was scared of making it too depressing, but yours is so meaningful and not just a sob story. It is a story of hope and perseverance.
What I notice in his essay that was different from most is that he wrote like a long poem with lots of word play and vocabulary. I was never a literature kind of person so whenever I wrote my personal statement I was very direct and straight forward. I’m planning to transfer to MIT in 2 years so I’m hoping I can write an essay that’s unique like his.
Same I was debating it as well especially because my current mindset isn’t depressing I spend more time thinking about why things are how they are and what can be done to provoke change which is what I’m gonna write my essay about
I can relate to you. I have same abusive father and it at times really takes toll on me. Sometimes all the cuts and bruises hurt at the same time. You're right, we are like clay and we can be molded. All those cracks can be repaired. More power to you♥️. And congratulations!
What are your tips for AP language and composition and AP US history and can you make a video about tip on AP language and composition and AP US history.
i am genuinely in tears after hearing your essay. it didn't feel like an assignment, it felt like you were simply talking about your life. i have never been so blown away by one essay, and by erasers :) good luck in college
ahhh the fact that you made a video about something so personal, this must've taken SO much bravery!!! we appreciate you so much😭💞 i remember you saying that the only other person who read this essay was one of your teachers, and HERE YOU ARE PUTTING IT ON THE INTERNET SO IT CAN HELP US. we dont deserve you fr
This wasn’t just a sad essay that got you in good colleges. The experiences that came with it meant a lot to you and it shows. Congrats on all the success you have achieved and will achieve in the future.
what if the entire essay was made up tho? they said they want a writing sample they never said it has to be real life. Mine was about how I fought in the civil war as a confederate soldier, and then I had to face reality of losing the war and but kept dwelling on the war.
This isn't any essay, sounds like a legit piece of literature you could find from a really good writer. I dont know who you are, but thats some pretty nice composition.
This essay was so touching and heartfelt. I cannot imagine why you think this essay would make anyone think less of you. I think it would make people think more of you for your resilience and unwavering dedication to education and rising above hardship.
this essay is so beautifully written, and so compellingly emotional, but even tho it is sad, it also shows so much involvement in your own life and transforming sad or difficult situations into better ones for growth. i am rlly moved and im happy it got u where u are. thank u for shearing
this felt like a verbal painting. i genuinely felt like i was listening to art. beautiful. good luck with everything, you've been so strong and will do even better ahead!
I never thought I'd cry hearing a college essay written by a stranger from all the way across the country, but here I am. That was mesmerizing and I enjoyed every word.
I can feel your sincerity, vulnerability and courage so well! You're honest, you write beautilfully and you don't shy away from the pain. I think more often than not, for application, it's rather rare to see someone being so invested and genuine, not sugar-coating everything, not hiding behind big words, not trying to impress. It's emotional because it's personal, but the very personal thing that makes you human, and it's why we can resonate. Sending love from the mainland! A Chinese fan
this was written beautifully - thank you for sharing! honestly, you articulated such a sincere part of yourself... there is not an ounce of being “pathetic” within your words. it’s just your raw and honest story. very refreshing to hear an essay that is so human, especially during this college admissions process that can feel very dehumanizing and calculated. wishing you lots of luck and success in your future endeavors.
Watching people’s college essays trying to get into college even though I have a low gpa because of all the things I went through during high school but it wasn’t nearly as hard as what you went through...currently crying you deserved getting into all those colleges and seem like such a nice person❤️
this was legitimately the best essay i have came across.....It's never easy to be vulnerable and present your bare self out to the world...be it the admission officers or the web world.... hats off to have the courage !
While he's reading his beautifully written essay, I'm like looking at the other side of the screen where my google doc is placed. mine is pathetic, lol
Bro, this was so beautiful and brave. If your friends think differently of you, it is because they have a new sense of respect for you and gratitude that they get to be a part of your life.
your essay is NOT a pathetic sob story please don’t say that!!! you’re so strong and are such a kind human being, genuinely making the world better. thank you quon for the love you put into th e world (and ur skin looking fire)
this actually made me cry. you’re so talented and genuine! thank you for sharing this with us, and congratulations on everything you have accomplished:)
wow. your essay is phenomenal, moved me to tears. thank you for sharing, i know it is quite difficult. keep going, continue to believe in yourself. best wishes for your future endeavors.
I just wrote mine, and I wrote about something I don’t like to talk about. The first person read it, told me it was touching. It wasn’t my intention, it got super personal.
This essay was actually amazing! Please post more about anything; you’re very intelligent and i feel like you could help guide me through high school and the college application process if that makes sense :)
This is the best heartfelt essay I have ever heard. And this is not a pathetic essay by any means! You living through these tough experiences and sharing this story shows your true strength and courage.
wow... this is the first college essay that made me cry. this is phenomenal. ik it takes a lot for u to post something this personal, so thank u for so much for sharing it with us. you have left your crumbs for us viewers.
thank you so much for sharing this. i revised my essay in fear that it would be “too personal” as some said it’d be, and i had only just scratched the surface of my abuse. and this just inspired me to change it back to my original essay.
The way you wrote this essay was so beautiful. How you wrote about your experiences being similar to clay, how you felt the nuanced effects on your character by your situations growing up really shows that you're strong and capable of overcoming things in life. You will do tremendously in college and wherever you decide to go later in life. Thanks so much for sharing this 😊
this essay nearly made me sob. your writing is beautiful and touching and i loved it. i've also experienced some of the things you've experienced, so this hit really different. thank you for sharing it.
i'm not an English speaker, but this essay totally worth me to repeat again and again, just to make sure I completely understand every single sentence you wrote. What a beautiful essay!
You have nothing to be ashamed of and I don't think people would change the way they view you just from the essay. You are brave for sharing your story! (This tells me that I need to definitely put more effort into my own!)
I was a little ashamed of being genuine and authentic in my Fulbright essay, but after watching this, I'm not going to change it at all ❤ More power to you 💕
Hi, your essay was honestly fire. I have unfortunately got into reading the do’s and donts of college essays and it has gotten me extremely stressed. I was wondering where the fine line of too much personal and just the right amount. I made a personal essay and was wondering if you could read it, it’s like your Box of Crumbs essay and has a lot of similar points but I’m scared if I submit it, it would be too emotional.
I'm trying to write a personal essay like that too rn, but probably for a different prompt. If you want, I can read over it and tell you what it looks like from a stranger's POV. :) My insta is sofia_.dor if you wanna take me up on it and maybe do peer review on each other's.
Your honesty, and sharing your vulnerability was so beautiful. You seem like the kind of company that kind an intellectual people would keep. Please do not feel embarrassed, and your story was not pathetic. I truly applaud your bravery, and I think anyone else who hear’s the story and changes their behavior towards you. It’s not worth having as a friend anyways.
really , never thought will cry reading a essay for colleges... this was beautiful and you should really become a writer... one of the best essays i have ever heard...
its been a whole year but, I just wanna say that I find you to be such an inspiration. I first came across your channel from your viral college reaction video, and the more videos I watched, the more and more I look up to you! You've been through so much, things that are a lot harder than what I have experienced. Your success makes me think that I can achieve great things too, that I shouldn't feel hopeless when obstacles confront me. THANKS!!! Best of luck to both of us.
That was beautiful. I religiously watch your videos and am constantly amazed at the wisdom such a young mind can hold. I aspire daily to have your dedication and strength. I greatly admire your raw genuineness and I hope you never change. :) I hope to be in the ivy boat one day soon.
I'm glad you're able to share something so personal with the viewers. As a junior, I find it incredibly hard on how I want to word the journey of my life thus far. I know the direction I want to go, but I don't understand how I can express it.
You have already accomplished a lot in life based on your realizations as documented in your essay. I got goosebumps while hearing you read your essay. I'm already 27 and I am still learning to forgive and choose to cherish the happy moments from my childhood.
listened to this years ago, stuck with me even though i was in middle school. just came back to it this year as i'm writing my own essays. you've done a phenomenal job
Quan, you are amazing. Love your powerful essays: rich with emotion and description. Your future will yield you great rewards and I predict you will serve humanity in ways that will positively impact the world.
This made me feel so confident; about sharing my painful story in my personal essay too. You wrote your essay with so much vulnerability, making it so impactful. I loved this and I’m so glad that I found this video!
thank you so much for sharing something this personal with us. It was so touching and almost moved me to tears. good luck to you and the future that awaits for you! you are a super amazing person and I can see why you were accepted!
That was beautifully written. You took the negatives in your life and turned them into something beneficial. That essay was far from pathetic. It was near poetic and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hey man, I just wanted to say, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful essay. I started crying at how beautiful, genuine, and strong someone can be to endure so much. Thank you!
From the moment I began watching your video, what struck me the most was how genuine you were. Stumbling and quavering, depicting reality as it. Without makeup or filters to beautify it. And originality has a beauty of its own. You made smile. Genuinely. I'm so glad, that I came across this. And if we ever meet in person, I assure you, this essay would have impacted the way our first conversation went. Because it meant that much.
I feel u, can't make an essay public as that but believe me, u really touched many hearts this day. And just as they say have always your moment, to cry, to love and laugh. You really inspired me today u reminded me my value in life, I really love to protect and love my beloved ones. I always think the best opportunity in life is to share love and u did it today by being open about your story and u know no matter how are life were we always have are present and our future in our hands and that counts, all the efforts count. We count and every perfect moment too, my perfect moment when I get to laugh hard with my family and kids. Send love to everyone who's reading. God bless you! 🌺💕
I’m genuinely crying, this was so so beautiful and inspiring, not at all pathetic in any way. It takes a lot of courage to share your story to not only admission officers, but so many random people on the internet.
My heart was touched by this. It's so beautiful. All the best to your present and future. Only your sincerity will get your far ahead. Thanks for sharing!
I am a bundle of nerves as I prepare to send my dd on campus this fall, all the way from India to the USA. I visited your channel casually and didn’t expect to tear up. Please hold strong! You are a winner! Sending all my prayers and blessings.
i’ve been binging ur videos for a while now and istg ur such an authentic person there’s so much to learn from you, ur so strong and this is weird but u love the way u speak THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME
I, too, have experienced many of these hardships and a many others. I have so much trouble incorporating all of it into my essay because it either sounds like a pity rant or I make it too superficial. I'm amazed at how well you incorporated your struggle into a poetic essay. Bravo
thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable with us. more than views or whatever it might be, you're touching and inspiring literal strangers. keep doing you, and i hope you continue to collect and use those crumbs wherever you end up going!
I want you to know that by telling your story you are helping so many people. Not just with writing essays, but more specifically, the challenge of having to think about things in your life that can take a tole on the mind. I have much respect for u my man. Keep it up
I have never met you in my life but I love you man. The way you crafted that essay, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that was the most moving and complex essay I have ever read. We need people like you to make our world better and to brighten our existence. I'm sure you'll suceed in whatever you do in life. Big hug from Portugal.
I broke down crying listening to this. I was writing an essay on my own and put this on the background. I could not hold back when I got to the "saranghae" part. This hit me so hard. I feel so much empathy for you, and I want you to know that one day you'll find comfort somewhere. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Thank you for being so vulnerable in this video! You definitely deserve to go into Princeton and now I want to go there too just for the sake of meeting people like you!

him *finishes reading emotional essay* "yeah so I'm thinking of making a skin care vid"
thank you so much for sharing something this personal with us. It was so touching and almost moved me to tears. good luck to you and the future that awaits for you! you are a super amazing person and I can see why you were accepted!
That was beautifully written. You took the negatives in your life and turned them into something beneficial. That essay was far from pathetic. It was near poetic and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hey man, I just wanted to say, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful essay. I started crying at how beautiful, genuine, and strong someone can be to endure so much. Thank you!
From the moment I began watching your video, what struck me the most was how genuine you were. Stumbling and quavering, depicting reality as it. Without makeup or filters to beautify it. And originality has a beauty of its own. You made smile. Genuinely. I'm so glad, that I came across this. And if we ever meet in person, I assure you, this essay would have impacted the way our first conversation went. Because it meant that much.
I’ve never been this moved by a college essay. So awesome dude. Such an amazing writer!
I feel u, can't make an essay public as that but believe me, u really touched many hearts this day. And just as they say have always your moment, to cry, to love and laugh. You really inspired me today u reminded me my value in life, I really love to protect and love my beloved ones. I always think the best opportunity in life is to share love and u did it today by being open about your story and u know no matter how are life were we always have are present and our future in our hands and that counts, all the efforts count. We count and every perfect moment too, my perfect moment when I get to laugh hard with my family and kids. Send love to everyone who's reading. God bless you! 🌺💕
I’m genuinely crying, this was so so beautiful and inspiring, not at all pathetic in any way. It takes a lot of courage to share your story to not only admission officers, but so many random people on the internet.
i never comment but i just wanted to say that you are so brave for posting this! thank you so much for sharing it’s incredibly admirable
My heart was touched by this. It's so beautiful. All the best to your present and future. Only your sincerity will get your far ahead. Thanks for sharing!
I am a bundle of nerves as I prepare to send my dd on campus this fall, all the way from India to the USA. I visited your channel casually and didn’t expect to tear up.
Please hold strong! You are a winner! Sending all my prayers and blessings.
also appreciate how genuine and relatable you are
Absolutely flawless, I wish i could hug you, i am so sorry for all you have been through and I am so proud of how far you have come❤

omg thank you!!!!! I really appreciate the support
@@QuonHowery02 i can promise u it’s well deserved!!
I, too, have experienced many of these hardships and a many others. I have so much trouble incorporating all of it into my essay because it either sounds like a pity rant or I make it too superficial. I'm amazed at how well you incorporated your struggle into a poetic essay. Bravo
It's so amazing how you got the idea of relating eraser crumbs to your life like it was so touching. I wasn't planning on crying but oh well
This essay was extremely beautiful. You are so strong and brave.
Not me crying as you read. I really wanna give you a hug 🥺
thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable with us.
more than views or whatever it might be, you're touching and inspiring literal strangers.
keep doing you, and i hope you continue to collect and use those crumbs wherever you end up going!
I want you to know that by telling your story you are helping so many people. Not just with writing essays, but more specifically, the challenge of having to think about things in your life that can take a tole on the mind. I have much respect for u my man. Keep it up
I have never met you in my life but I love you man. The way you crafted that essay, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that was the most moving and complex essay I have ever read. We need people like you to make our world better and to brighten our existence. I'm sure you'll suceed in whatever you do in life. Big hug from Portugal.
I broke down crying listening to this. I was writing an essay on my own and put this on the background. I could not hold back when I got to the "saranghae" part. This hit me so hard. I feel so much empathy for you, and I want you to know that one day you'll find comfort somewhere. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Thank you for being so vulnerable in this video! You definitely deserve to go into Princeton and now I want to go there too just for the sake of meeting people like you!
