<p>Did anyone submit an essay to be graded by PrincetonReview.com? How did you do?</p>
<p>9/12 for me. Coming up with good examples to use is my trouble spot. :(</p>
<p>is it still online? I could never find the link…</p>
<p>Yeah, go to <a href=“http://www.princetonreview.com%5B/url%5D”>www.princetonreview.com</a> and it is under the “Win a Scholarship” link for writing an essay. I got an 11/12, and I spent almost the whole 25 minutes writing that, trying to make it perfect, it makes me think; who gets a 12/12?</p>
I gave my self a 3 out of 6 on this. I was hoping for a different set of eyes to give their opinion.
q) Do we need other people on order to understand ourselves ?
ans)
Understanding ones self is a struggle almost everyone faces, regardless of cast, creed, or generation. It is impossible for some one to completely understand themselves unless they interact with others.
Humans by nature are social animals. Since the begining of our existence we have grouped ourselves into clans, tribes, and countries with each other. Keeping this in mind it becomes obvious that humans are meant to live together, we are designed to interact with each other. It is only after one realises this they see that see that a large part of who we are and what we are like is based apon how we behave with others.
One may think that they are confident and strong however realise when they are surrounded by others that they are diffident and shy. One can only see how Naive they are, hoe accepting they are, or even hoe prejudice they are ( the list of qualities are endless) if they expose themselves to other individuals.
It is true that self discovery is a large part of understanding ones self however i believe that one learns a lot more from how they interact with others.
thanks in advance for any help.
