College Supplement.
The person is my father, the place is Lake Havasu, Arizona. Here, he and I would revisit the places where he taught me how to ride a bike, how to dive, and how to lace my shoes. I would let him know that these are the same places where he taught me that the most expensive things in life are those that do not bear a price tag. I would show him that these are the same places where he instilled in me the values of patience, respect, and open-mindedness, the same way he continues to teach me today.

Your dad has raised you into a great man-- with manners, a broad knowledge, and respect. We need more people like him and you in today's society.

As graduation is coming and high school is almost over, I call to mind that many times we overlook the moments that made us who we are today and you did a great job in recollecting those, like this trip down "memory lane." We get older, and we can't let ourselves forget the memories we shared before we started thinking about our futures. They're the only way to relive our childhoods and remember life altering moments.

This post really made me think about where I have been in my life and about the people who helped me get to where I am today. It is important not to forget the little things in life, because they are a huge part in what has shaped us and prepared us for our future that is fast approaching.

I thought you syntax was very interesting, especially the first line. It was definitely an attention grabber and it makes the reader want to keep reading. It is also great you have a good relationship with your father.

This made me reflect back on all the things my parents have done, and how they do their best to raise me and my little brother. It really makes me appreciate them. Great job!

First sentence had a very creative structure to it. The supplement content itself is touching and well written. You do a good job of enticing readers.

Your opening is super catchy. And, of course, that's what colleges want. Your repetition is great and I already am interested in reading the remainder of your essay that follows. Too often we overlook the little things.
ReplyDeleteI like when you said that the most important things in life are the things that have no price tag. We always go through life looking to obtain things that have a high value rather than looking to enrich the things that don't.
