1. Faith; in myself, family, friends, and most importantly in God. Without faith, my life would not have progressed as far and as righteously as it has today. Without faith, I would not have any belief in the wonders and miracles of God, including my and my brother's births and the act of true kindness shown upon strangers. Without faith, I would have given up all hope in myself and others through life's hardest obstacles. Without faith, I would not even have had the opportunity to be applying

Four years ago, I bought a one-way ticket from Hong Kong to Detroit; I told myself I will not be returning until I am done with university. I will be strong and I will be independent. I will not be homesick, I will not miss my friends back home and I will not cry. I have said all the good byes and I have packed up everything and there was no turning back. Within the first week of school, I was proven wrong. I missed home, I missed family and friends and I missed the familiarity that I once took for

Once it came time for me to embark on my own college search, I questioned my parents on their secrecy. They divulged to me that they never had

“It’s probably not cancer.” My doctor uttered this statement two years ago with a nonchalance that startles me to this day. At the time, I had no idea that the mass recently found in my abdomen could even be cancer. Suddenly, something that I had not previously considered in regards to my own life became all too real. I quickly realized that no person -- regardless of age, gender, or socio-economic status—is exempt from experiencing true pain or fear. More than anything, this made me realize how

“I thought to myself: I am wiser than this man; neither of us probably knows anything that is really good, but he thinks he has knowledge, when he has not, while I, having no knowledge, do not think I have.” ― Plato, Apology tags: apology, knowledge, plato, socrates, wisdom 23 people liked it like “Men of Athens, I honor and love you; but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy...

Maham Choudhry 15110160 My Nana, the Lawyer He asks me my name. I tell him. It’s not as if he forgets, it is just that he never bothered to remember. Committing the names of his nine children’s offspring is understandably a tedious task. “Tell me about Sirhind, nana,” I ask. He smiles, a maze of crow’s feet forming at the edge of his cataract-inflicted eyes. “I went there last night.” My nana’s ‘dreams’

As much as I support a college admissions essay in theory, I find that our current system to deal with the process of submission and review is increasingly corrupt. How is one supposed to convey the deep musings of their troubled, post pubescent soul 600 words or less? Before I sat down to undergo the ceremonial task that almost every teenager in America performs, I was told to “Treat writing the college essay like speed dating”. Now, to me, that seems somewhat misleading. By giving me complete free
