My Spring Break: A College Essay

My Spring break of this year was wild in that it was not wild at all! I stayed at home, mostly. While some might say staying at home is a waste of spring break, I disagree. In fact, I got a lot done. And I got to spend a lot of time with my mother. My mother always says that teenagers these days are big time-wasters. She wants me to be a doctor, and that's why I'm applying to your college. I love my mother, and my father. Both have been very encouraging in wanting me to be a doctor. And so am I. And so, I hope, are you. Well anyways, back to my spring break. I play the harp. Playing the harp is my passion, and it is also something that I do so my mother will feed me. I played a lot of harp over spring break, that's for sure! I think that I would make a good match for your school for many reasons. One reason is that I am a hard worker. That is why all of my best friends are my brother and sister, because they bring me food in my harp closet! Don't get me wrong, I love my harp closet. It keeps me from getting distracted by colors and sounds. I value discipline. Another reason I should go to your school is that my grandparents came to this country all the way from China, and as my grandfather always said, "You should get into a very good college, or I will be ashamed of you."

Alot of kids these days like Rock and Roll music. In my family, however, we are only allowed to listen to classical music. This means that my brain is more developed, because classical music develops the brain and encourages moral behavior. That is another reason I should go to your college. I don't have very many friends, but the people who talk to me at school tell me that my parents are too strict. I tell them to stop interrupting my learning. I think my parents are just the right amount of strict. I mean, it isn't always easy, but without them, where would I be today? Probably spending my Spring Break on a beach somewhere and wasting their hard earned money.

If you do admit me into your college, it will be because of the hard work my parents put into raising me right. And because I play the harp and am good at calculus and because I cry when my father looks at me. As my father always says (in Chinese) "revulsion at the sight of weakness is a sign of strength." I am also bilingual.

I hope that I can come to your college and learn about medicine and how to be a doctor. A doctor is a respectable profession. I am unlike many other applicants to your school in that, instead of spending my spring break being drunk and irresponsible, I think that a doctor is a respectable profession. Thank you, and I am good at math.
