I like how you were up beat and funny in this video normally I feel so overwhelmed when hearing people read their essays. So thank you I finally have some ideas flowing now
holy shit i am not kidding when I say i wrote my common application on my fear of mushrooms as well oh my gosh!! we def took it in different directions but thats amazing i really didn't think anyone else would share the same topic. great minds :)
I love this essay - thank you for sharing. I've competed in speech since sophomore year, which is one of the best decisions I've made; I'm starting college too this fall.
Sarah Baron Aw thank you!! Honestly speech is just so incredible; it helps you meet people and build your speaking skills and I’m super thankful that I did it too. Good luck in the fall!:)
this was amazing!!! I'm a speech kid too and your speech voice brings back so many memories haha i love that it's such a distinct thing that everyone has
I wrote mine about marching band and learning to play an instrument in hs. It was one of my most fondest memories of hs and I met a lot of friends and gained more confidence after it 😂
This was amazing!!! I’m applying for 2021 and i’m doing my essays right now! I’m stuck and clueless and have 18 days to send them in!! I need help!!!!!!
Ahhh ur essays so cute! Totally get what u mean with the squinting in my case I thought I looked ugly with glasses so I just never wore them and my eyesight got wayyyy worse. Also what are the aspects of biological sciences that made you choose it as your major? What makes it interesting to you?
Thank you! Honestly, I think my interest in the biological sciences began with my involvement in Science Olympiad. The more I studied and competed in my biology-based events (like disease detectives, microbe mission, etc.), the more I realized how interesting it was. I like subjects that are very applicable to life and biology was that for me. I could visualize the processes I learned about, and they were important because they involved my body and its processes as well as the environment I live in. Our world is very complex but I thought that biology made sense and helped me realize WHY certain things happen. With that being said, I do think I'm lucky to have an open curriculum at Brown because I don't ONLY want to study biology. I really like the humanities too and don't want to restrict myself! Hope that answered your question:)
@@cecilesch I see that's rlly cool! Also, I noticed in majors there's tons of different kinds of biology (molecular, general, cell) is biological science a mixture of those or is it a unique kind?
Hannah Chu every school offers different amounts of biology majors. Some small schools ONLY do biological sciences (just to cover everything) because there is not enough interest to have a major offered for each specific field of biology. Biological science basically encompasses all the different fields of biology (just to answer your question), but even if you major in biological sciences you still take a variety specific classes with cell biology, genetics, microbiology, etc. You just won’t have a super in depth experience in a specific field. So for me, I want to try and create a major that is focused on Microbiology. This means that most of my classes will be specifically within this category so I will take much more Microbiology than a simple biological sciences major!
Congrats! I hope I get accepted to Columbia! I am trying to raise my ACT score from a 32 to a 36 (I took the ACT a year ago and have been preparing since).
😂🥺 I also used to squint through classes and used my phone to see (that person who had pictures of all the presentations slides from class). Though my reason was that I woke up late and forgot to grab them on my way out :)
Cecile: btw i read how i speak in speech and debate **literally starts reading an OO speech** (anyways miss you girl, thanks for sending me back to the competition room for a hot sec lol)
This is crazily similiar to my story. I became president without realizing that would involve public speaking so I just removed my glasses and everything was blurry
so good!! y is this me tho haha i literally used to take my glasses off so i didnt have to look at people while presenting and walking in the halls LOL
what schools did you apply to with this essay and not get in? just wondering because i have a common app essay with humor and want to know which schools might not like that!
My college decision reaction is on my channel! I Lowkey didn't get into a lot of places LOL so major rip but UChicago and Brown liked this essay. Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Harv, etc must not have lol but also they're all really hard schools so it isn't just my essay! Lots of factors!
Okay so you talk about public speaking here and im assuming ur major is something related to that. how did you keep ur common app from overlapping with ur supplementals?
Actually my major has nothing to do w my common app! I used my common app to convey my personality and what I loved. I’m actually going in as a premed and applied to double major in Biology and History. Thus, it wasn’t hard bc there wasn’t much of an overlap!
I want to write about what I think about myself! Is it okay to write about that? And also in between I have my own personal apperance thought. Is it good to topic to write about?
Lmao I used to do that whenever I had a performance and I still have not overcome the fear of singing or dance in front of a big crowd while been capable of seeing
@@cecilesch I might switch to contacts too! But I'm still anxious because one time I forgot to take off my glasses during a speech and everyone was just like 👁 👄 👁
here is someone who will never EVER leave your side, and His name is Jesus Christ! 2000+ years ago he came to earth and suffered beatings, being abandoned by His closest friends, being betrayed unto death, being spat on, and nailed to a cross. Why did He endure all of this? Well, it doesn't quite make sense until you look at yourself. God has his moral Law, the Ten Commandments, and you and I have broken God's Law. The Ten Commandments require us not to lie, steal, use God's name in vain (blasphemy), commit adultery (Which Jesus says looking at others with lust is the same as adultery), and murdering (which Jesus also says hating someone is the same as being a murderer at heart). These are only a few of the commandments, and breaking just one makes you guilty of breaking them all (James 2:10). so, have you lied before? or stolen? hated someone, looked with lust, or used God's name in vain (ex: saying "oh my ***). If so, God seeing you as a lying, thieving, blaspheming, adulterous murderer at heart. You are guilty before God of eternal death in Hell (the Bible says the wages of sin is death in Romans 6:23). And this should terrify you, for the Bible says in Hell there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, and that it is like a lake of fire that is never quenched. There will be no laughing, no partying, just eternal suffering. But back to Jesus. When He came to earth and suffered and died on that cross, though He never needed to die since He was sinless, He was paying the debt of your sins as well as mine. Then, He rose from the dead, thus conquering death and proving that all who believe on Him will likewise rise from death to life. So, i imploreeee you, homie, put your trust is Jesus Christ TODAY, and God will grant you ever lasting life. The rest of Romans 6:23 says "The wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT OF GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." So, trust in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Believe on Him and you will be saved.
