College Admissions Essay: Why I Was Gifted
I always knew that I was gifted, but throughout my life, I took it for granted. Over a year ago I would have never considered the possibility of applying to an honorary university, not to of one. Three years ago, I just wanted to get a higher education. kept modified during my sophomore year of high school. I was delighted to have registered for Mrs. Shrull's visual art class. The first time I saw this inspiring and compassionate individual, as she walked into the classroom with a smile on her face and said: “Each and every one of you has a gift, you may not know it yet but, that should not stop you from reaching your full potential as an artist.” I knew from there on that I made the right decision.

    Kent Bellows Mentorship Program: A Personal Analysis

    Since then, I have been taught by several mentors, who are artists themselves. Presenting my art in three shows has compelled me to openly speak about my art. I have learned substantially. The environment that surrounds the Kent Bellows program is reassuring, warm, and welcoming. Consequently, through exposing me to people, places, opportunities, and resources my well being and attitudes improved substantially. The entire process boosted my self-esteem and helped me gain a better understanding of who I am. This program triggered the realization I did have talent. I was, and am not, painfully mediocre.…

    Melissa Etheridge Research Paper

    During my Kindergarten year, I discovered a special talent that many of my friends didn't have, a talent of drawing. I enjoyed every moment of it, from sketching a tree to the enormous statue outside my schoolyard. My advantage of having ADHD helps me to have a high amount of imagination and an ability to think outside the box. During my art class in fifth grade, I was assigned to draw my friend. I was able to put every detail of my friend's face down onto the paper. My drawing was colorful and exceptional. Although many people think I have a disadvantage due to my disability, to me I'm honor to have…

    Personal Narrative: Trinity Thompson

    At a young age, I’ve always been an artsy and creative person. In art class, I’d always have something good to show. During my freshman year, I felt as if I wasn’t living up to my own potential so I had begged my dad to take me out of Willingboro High and enroll me into Burlington County Institute of Technology or, BCIT. When filling out my exploration papers, I was dead set on getting…

    Asher Lev

    The exceptionally creative may need a different approach when it comes to their development. The gifted need to be treated with patience and given room to grow their talents. In My Name is Asher Lev, Asher’s parents are not very supportive of his gifts. His mother is the more supportive of the two. She can relate to Asher’s problem of wanting to grow in his art and the communities disapproval. She even buys him paint at one point and takes him to an art museum. When he asks his mother questions that she fears may corrupt his Jewish faith she can no longer accept his gifts in front of his father. Eventually she supports him by saying, “You and your father are two different natures. There is nothing to be done about it, Asher Lev...Do not try to understand, Become a great artist. That is the only way to justify what you are doing to everyone's life.”(Potok) In school, a place that should be a refuge of learning and peace Asher's Headmaster remarks “Many people feel they are in possession of a great gift when they are young. But one does not always have to give in to a gift. One does with a life not only what is precious to one's self, but to one's own people. That is the way our people live...”(Potok) This notion that a gift should be ignored for a civic responsibility is incredibly ignorant and short sided. The headmaster has no idea the incredible things…

    Compare and Contrast the Strategies Used for the Gifted and for Those Who Are Developmentally Delayed

    Generally when we talk of individuals with disabilities, the very core or center of concern always falls on individuals with developmentally disorders, physically handicapped, emotionally disorders. We tend to miss out the individuals who are born as “gifted”. Well for us, as the title says (gifted), being born gifted is more of a blessing than the other way around. But the truth of the matter is, it is not as easy as it may seem to be. If individuals with different kinds of disorders have special needs, so do gifted individuals. It may just be in a different manner, in a dissimilar kind and in a more diverse situation but there still is a special need and this is also need to be properly addressed in the same manner as with the other disabilities.…

    I had a really terrible memory when I was young, which was about a car accident. In the summer of 1995, I was 7 years old at that time,I was playing with my friends in the garden which was near my house. Suddenly, a friend of mine started fighting with a big guy. I didn’t know what happen, I was too young and so scared, the only thing I thought was to find his parents to go for help. So a girl and I decided to run to his home. The little girl was in front of me when we were crossing the road, and we didn’t realize a car was coming.

    Trichotillomania

    I began to wonder what I could do to help. Complaining about my problems would not fix anything, so I thought I would draw for people to make them happy. So for a long time, I thought being an artist was my career choice. It dawned on me that art is more of an emotional relief if one is making it. I then realized that counseling would be an amazing way to let people express themselves, but I still wanted people to express their way through art. Although I have not figured how to combine the two, I do know that college is my next step to pursuing my dream, and helping heal the…

    Personal Narrative: My Award In High School

    I never imagine that I will take any academic award in high school or any time for all that matter. When I stepped excitedly and nervously into the stage to get my third academic letter award in high school, it was the most amazing moments in my life; and without a doubt, it was a fantastic fantasy in between my hands. Arriving at my new school excitingly, Marshall High School, I met my new counselor, who was the first person I met in school. She told me about the school system, the teachers, clubs/organization and my own classes; all that was eagerness and thrilling. We walked around the school; I started imagine who I will be and who I will be friends: one of the popular students, the normal students, or the losers.…

    Merit And Success Essay

    I believe in people who immigrate to America; they have the same dream-“American Dream.” The people who have the “American Dream” surely believe the U.S has meritocracy, which means they aware that there are plenty of opportunities to be successful in America if ones have good work ethic, put in their full effort to their careers, have an open-mind set, and willingly catch up with the newest technology, they can be successful. Unfortunately many people still stubbornly think success is mostly not due to merit, instead believe these elements such as luck, wealth, family background, or even races. Overall, I never see anyone who is lazy, laid-back and careless can be successful, but I do see people who work hard,…

    Personal Narrative: Why I Got To College

    I was placed on Academic Probation after my freshmen spring semester, I went to College with a new set of freedom I never had before and did not know how to adjust to my new freedom well. I come from a very large blended family and my parents worked very hard to provide for all of us, my mom had worked multiple jobs and was trying to continue her education so she would leave for work very early and would come home very late. That left the cooking, cleaning and tending to my younger brother to me all while I was a high school student, working 2 jobs and playing softball. With all that being said when I got to college I did not focus on school because for the first time in 4 years all I had to worry about was me and that was a strange relief…

    Essay On I Want To Be An Immigrant

    Seeing both my parents work to attain the glorious idea of the American Dream not only for themselves but for myself and my siblings, I have learned tenacity and compassion. Tenacity to push forward through the difficulties of juggling school, work, internship, and extra-curricular activities to pursue my unconventional dreams. Compassion in understanding that life deals misfortune, and it is in helping others to overcome it that one overcomes adversity himself. While my perseverance and compassion for others seems to lead me in the direction of the medical field, unfortunately for my parents, I am far from it. I seek to aid others and myself in this perilous journey through life not by ensuring good health, but through education in museums. I believe that art and the humanities is worth learning and worth teaching. Although the career path I have chosen for myself is a gamble, it is worth the risk. Because after all, I would not be where I am today had my parents not taken a leap of…

    College Admissions Essay-Personal Narrative Of My Life

    The Arts have called my name for as long as I can remember. As a child, I dabbled in any intensively creative and performative thing that was in the immediate vicinity. I would go around telling all my peers that when I grew up, I was going to have any one of a number of extravagant careers: I would promise to become a famous actress on Monday, declare myself a world-class musician on Wednesday and swear to grow to be a best-selling novelist by Friday. The Arts, and all they encompassed, were my first love. It only seemed natural to me, like eating or blinking, that my life should be dedicated to the very thing that made me the happiest. I finally took my ambitions to heart my first year of high school, where I eagerly sought out beginning…

    I never imagined that one little, tiny human could change my life. I know they say that the second you see your child, you’ll experience a love that you’ll have experienced before. Although I didn’t have a child, the birth of my little sister sure allowed me to experience this love. At the ripe age of 13, I was beyond excited for my mom to have a baby. While I already had two siblings, they were closer to me in age. I was finally going to be able to take care of a baby, and there was nothing that I was more excited about.…

    Since I was old enough to hold a crayon, I have wanted to be an artist. The desire to create has grown exponentially with time, and so I attended the University of Iowa to expand my creative capabilities and learn from the work of experienced faculty and other students. Through my studies, I quickly learned a traditional fine arts education focused on technique. However, I learned the strength of my art resided in the conceptualization of my own story and emotions…
