<p>can someone please chance me for harvard? here is my essay:
Things may come to those who wait
but only the things left by those
who hustle. Abraham Lincoln
What is so interesting about this quote is that it represents a window
into my perspective. I do not like idleness or inaction. Whether its
a necessity like food or I need my friends to complete an arduous
task, I get it done. My philosophy similar to that of Abe Lincoln is
that decisions set the world in motion. In physics the law of inertia
says objects at rest will stay at rest unless an acted upon an outside
force. In my eyes, I am that force that will set this world in motion.
My life has been blessed with my familys love, fortune, and rich
background. I have been flying to Indonesia for 17 years of my life.
Seeing how much different Jakarta was from Los Angeles made me open my
eyes to the extreme poverty and lack of voice in the world at a young
age. Every time I go there I see my stoic grandpa and my altruistic
grandma, a pair of wise sages with jarring philosophies. Seeing how
they act in their own environment leaves me to question the
magnanimity of mankind. Singapore is a huge tiger economy that became
a hugepart of my life. But back to Indonesia, during most summers we
go to the island of Bali. My summer home in Bali is my sanctuary from
the world. I go there to reflect on the past year and to make resolute
decisions for the upcoming future. Since there is not much else to do
in Indonesia, spending quality time with my family is important.
Conversing with the common people in Bahasa made an easier transition
to English for me. In a way I have an exceptional mature view of the
world because I have been conditioned to global foresight. From
European countries I knew how vast and historical the Earth was how
America is such a young country. When I went to Africa I saw mankinds
origins and greatest ancient feats. South America was rhythmic and
full of life. Asia is an emerging economic superpower. North America
is where democratic policies flourish. This together makes up the
world where I will make found a geneis of my legacy.</p>
<p>1) The essay is not a singular factor that can determine if you get in
2) this is rather cliche, and you’re jamming to much stuff into one essay. The essay is a slice of life. Find one experience that can say more about you than anything else. Don’t forget to “show, don’t tell.” Also, say “I” as little as possible. It’s hard, but try.</p>
