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

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

To Learn Is to Change Life is full of risks‚ and that is what makes it so much more exciting. I took a risk in life when I switched from homeschooling to “real school.” This risk required me to walk through an unknown door. I quickly learned that in order to take a risk‚ I had to step outside of my comfort zone. If I had not taken that step to go out and try something new‚ I would not have learned how to survive in a new environment. We learn things in life by doing‚ and if we do not try

“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

Living like a stoic was hard‚ let me tell you. Stoicism takes a lot of self control and restraint to execute properly. I chose to not overindulge myself‚ and to focus on applying negative visualization and self-control to my life. At the end of the night I would write down if something was hard or problematic that correlated with my new found Stoic life. Day two reads “I was hungry this afternoon and The Nest was closed. I had to restrain myself from going to Taco Bell and so I just settled with
