College
Essay: Personal Statement
I am a flawed person. In
my life I have found so many errors in my method of thinking. I am not the type
of person to deny this. I am not close to perfection, but I am on the road, on
a trip that’s end is indefinite. This journey started in a train crash sixteen
years ago, but I knew my ride could only get better. I have the tendency to
forget big things but remember small details. I have the skill to take control
of group activities but often choose to be passive when confronted. Yet every
minute I discover something different that can lead me to my future. I have
learned that I am inclined to encourage optimism in the people around me, even
on my worst days. I understand now that just because you can do something, does
not mean you should, and have based many decisions off this rule. I have
realized that the world is not a perfect place and that in order to succeed,
it’s necessary to be determined and work hard. Facing my weaknesses has only led
me to improvement. I have grown as a person from all the problems I have dealt
with or even caused. I know now that sometimes it’s better to ask, rather than
assume. I know I can be a leader without taking control. Instead I will
motivate the people I work with and only insert my opinion when necessary. Through
all I’ve learned about myself, I have engraved in my head a picture of
perfection, my own image of success. The key element in my image of success is furthering
my education, in order to pursue a career I am thoroughly interested in.
Attending your educational institution would be the next step in achieving my
goals. I will continue to admit my weaknesses in order to turn them into
strengths and I see college as my opportunity to continue to paint the picture
of perfection that I strive for.I know that the knowledge college provides will
advance my journey and as I progress through this broken highway they call
life, I know I have to face what’s in front of me and not regret the past. I am
on a one-way road to self-discovery and there’s no turning back.
