UC Personal Statement Growing up as a child I never really had worries. The only worry I had was who would beat me to the monkey bars during recess. I had what I like to call the most boisterous childhood I could ever ask for. No problems seemed to head my direction. Obviously‚ I was a child what could possibly go wrong? Young kids don’t actually start understanding certain things until they are about 11 or 12 years of age‚ but me I knew the exact words that came out of the lady I would call my

The British used to be known as a reserved unemotional nation‚ people who never reveal their inner feelings‚ let alone in public. One interesting phrase “emotional literacy” is taken by a lot of writers in Britain terribly seriously. And there was this great outburst to how princess Di’s death changed the way Britain behaved‚ and the British is becoming an emotionally literate nation. Obviously‚ the British style is no longer the stiff upper lip‚ and that’s gone and it’s probably a good thing. Many

ghouls‚ but what people fail to remember is that monsters aren’t just the things that hide in our closets‚ sometimes‚ they are the things that hide in the darkest parts of our mind. They can come in many forms‚ some physical and some mental. My own personal monster is my depression. Depression isn’t something that can be cured by the contents of a first aid kit‚ so learning to deal with my monster was difficult‚ but there was only one way I was ever going to get better‚ and that was by pushing myself

Malcolm X describes his experience and struggle not being able to read or write until he got into prison. All he could ever do in prison was sit there‚ so he figured he would make light of his incarceration. So what he did was study a dictionary and read books to gain a better understanding and learn much more than

“Oh gosh‚ then which one is the girl’s bathroom?” I thought to myself‚ quickly turning on my heels as a male teacher passed me in the doorway of what was apparently the boy’s lavatory. “Jesus‚ abort! Abort!” The warning signal’s flashed bright orangish-red in my mind as I nearly ran back into the hallway turning my scarlet face towards the ground. Spotting the grey sign depicting a perfectly proportioned “person” in a white dress across the way‚ I walked more confidently in that direction. As soon

The sun was right on the horizon line and Lucifer was outside looking right at it as he waited. It was a chill‚ breezy day and would only get colder and the night came. The clouds appeared to have a salmon or orange tint to them with how the sun was sitting and Lucifer had to admit‚ it looked rather nice outside. He would be taking his advantage of looking outside and enjoying this before he would get thrown in the cage again by whoever desired to reach him first and attempt to get him in there now

She said while pulling her sleeve down I was going to say something comforting until the principal went up to the mike to start the beginning of the school year assembly. We waited‚ sat by eachother‚ silent‚ as the roars of meat bags just rushed us‚ we sat there just patiently waiting‚ not being moved or affected by any of the shit happening around us. The assembly finally ended‚ and it turned out that Samantha and I had the same homeroom. Johnny: It looks like fate just keeps on moving us closer

Three years of recollections. At times inelegant and strained but others‚ placid. In my memory you have always lived on‚ but the culpability in my heart tiptoes out when the sun reposes and the moon is thrown upon the firmament. All of which is compressed into this short letter you are reading. An adventurous and greedy man I am‚ I do admit. But please do understand my coveting of the gold and glory. “I and my companions suffer from a disease of the heart which can be cured only with gold”. Which

One warm summer day my family was frantically rushing to gather all our belongings for a week long adventure out west. We were trying our best to squeeze every item in the car; finally we were ready to depart from home. I was just fourteen years of age at the time and had never been more than a few states away. The ride there was beyond exciting‚ but extra long. I believe most of that was due to the anticipation of when we would finally reach the great state of Colorado. After being in the car for

The dog yapped wildly as its owner slowly spoke. Her voice was fairly unique‚ in that it was both squeaky and deep‚ like a distorted teenager going through puberty. The dog‚ however‚ was the usual garden variety mutt you can find digging through trash all over the country. His fur was mostly white‚ with brown streaks of indeterminate origin. I sat on an old couch that had most likely been passed down generation to generation‚ with each tear and rip being covered up with duct tape. The couch was less
