OH HECK. THE PIECE EMBODIES YOU GUYS TOO. I know it has awkward phrasing. And i've been working on it. SO HERE IS MY PRIDE AND JOY seriously. xD College admission essay I have sat here for hours. I have sat here, staring at a computer screen, next to it a blank notebook and pen. I have been reading, example upon example wondering: “What makes me different?” My personality is not outgoing. I don’t have perfect grades. My grandma died when I was eight, but I did not grow much from it. I’m sorry to say that I cannot bore you to tears with my sob story about my family, or brighten your day with something that is completely unique. One thing I do have is the internet. The internet saved my life through moving around, and it has kept me sane. Most people would scoff at the idea of an inanimate object holding such a power over a teenage girl. In reality though, it wasn’t the object itself that kept me sane; it was the people who resided in it. I grew up in a generation full of computers. By third grade I was searching the web for secret codes to IM one of my classmates. As I grew older I began to talk to other people, people who didn’t attend my class of twelve, and as I moved they became my shelter, they became everything to me. I sit here, even now staring at a page filled with just words, talking to the people who changed my life. I snicker at their remarks, frown at their transgressions, and assist my best friend with her own college preparations. All of them, all of them people I’ve never looked in the eye. None have ever touched me physically, but all have touched my heart. These people are not just an awkward stage of my life, but progressing friendships over the last three years. Since the age of thirteen I have known these people, this group, I’ve learned some of the most important life lessons from them. I learned acceptance, and I learned how it feels to be accepted unconditionally. In school people look at you as less if you are different, but hidden in the bounds of the internet all seems pure with no limits on appearance but all on who you are as a person. These people have taught me confidence and true friendship. With at least one hundred others we’re all a family. Every one of them has helped me through trials in my life; I’ve watched them all handle their own life problems and was ready to assist them with a caring hand. Even if I can’t offer a shoulder to cry on or a bear hug every time a friend gets upset I, as they do, provide someone to confide in. I’ve met my best friend through the internet, I’ve met people I can’t stand, and people I question the motives of. The internet is a world in itself; it is a country of people who look for something, something more than the prosecution based on covers in the real world. In the internet they find undying friendships, as have I. For that I thank technology. I feel as though I am not a person of a fleeting generation, but rather a person who found hope in something that seemed so dark. I found direction to my life and the reason that I am different; I don’t need a terrible experience to make an impact. I live through theirs, making myself better because of it.
Estan todo. ='D That's all. I hope you like it. It took me like AGES to do. But it was worth it.
