<p>Can i have some feedback on this essay please???
THANK YOU!
I was born on May 8, 1992 as the third and youngest in my family. I briefly enjoyed this title until the birth of my two younger siblings. After this point, I became known as the middle child, wedged between my two older and younger siblings. In addition to my awkward placement among the seven people in my family, I was overweight. Next to my 5 10 mother with a modeling career and marathon-running father I usually felt pretty out of place. The constant mocking of my older and younger siblings did not help my self- esteem either. As I grew into my early teenage years, I decided I was going to work my hardest to change my weight and finally feel good about myself. By the time I turned sixteen, I lost 20 pounds and was finally at a healthy weight for my age and height.
When I was overweight, I was hurt on a daily basis and forced to think that I was strange because I looked different from everyone around me. I didnt deserve the ridicule and I was not different as people tried to tell me. I was beautiful for the person I was inside, not because of my appearance. Every human being deserves to be loved and treated with the same level of respect, regardless of what they may wear, look like, or how they act. I love every person on earth because of who they are as a person, not for how they look as a person.
My childhood as an overweight middle- child has greatly impacted the person I am today. First, my weight- loss gave me the realization that anything can be accomplished if I work hard enough. I wanted to lose weight, and my determination is what helped me succeed. This understanding has followed me over the years and helped in all aspects of my life. Second, my overweight childhood gave me sensitivity toward those who may feel that they are different from the average person.
I will contribute to the Fairfield community with the knowledge I have learned as the awkward overweight middle child of a large family. I will not judge people based on their appearance because I know what it is like to be judged. I will work hard, because I am confident that anything I want to achieve is possible with hardwork. Lastly, I will recognize that every person on earth is beautiful, lovable, and worthy. I may look different on the outside now that I am thin, but the loving and caring Olivia **** is not
changed. That is something that will never change.</p>
<p>here is the question:
- What personal or academic attribute distinguishes you from your current classmates? How will you integrate that attribute into your college experience and contribute to the Fairfield University community?</p>
