The Quality of a Person

I firmly believe that the quality of people

make the biggest difference in any experience.

Having thrived in communities,

where community and mentorship are shared values;

I am eager to enroll in college,

where helping each other learn and grow is the common goal.

Mentorship played a critical role

in my development and success,

both learning from mentors,

and learning how to be a mentor to someone else.

I have developed an array of leadership skills

and a wealth of knowledge

from a variety of challenging experiences.

I will be eager to contribute my knowledge

and fulfill my desire to lead.

While in the classroom,

I look forward to encouraging

and supporting my peers,

as I have my whole life

in school and extracurricular activities.

I am a naturally positive individual,

and I have seen how powerful reaching out to others

with kindness and compassion can be.

I developed a lasting relationship with a young boy with autism,

and he taught me the importance of kind words as I mentored him.

I am eager to pursue my career goals

and do my part to advocate for each individual

on the campus of my choice.

I know I will be an asset to whichever college I choose,

and I am ecstatic to prove my worth.
