1. “The Journey” by J.K. Rowling

I am a person who is always looking for a challenge. I seek out experiences that push me out of my comfort zone, experiences that make me question my beliefs and push me to think critically. This is why I chose to apply to college.

I have been on a journey for the past four years. This journey has been filled with moments of joy, sorrow, and discovery. I have learned that life is more than just what happens in the classroom. I have learned to appreciate the little things and to be grateful for the opportunities that I have been given.

I have also learned that the most important thing in life is to never give up. Even when times get tough and I feel like giving up, I know that I must keep going. I have learned that success is not something that is handed to you, but something that you must work hard to achieve.

I have been fortunate enough to have the chance to explore my passions and to experience new things. I have found that I have a passion for writing and have been able to pursue it in various ways. I have also been able to explore my interest in science and technology by taking courses in both fields.

As I look back on my journey, I am thankful for all that I have learned. I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped me and for the people who have supported me along the way. I am excited for the next chapter of my journey and I am ready to take on the challenges that college will bring.
