College Admission Essay
By Crystal Roberts

“Shiloh your ego has a need to feed, you are so weird, I fear for you this world” Mother screams nervously as her voice breaks and cracks, almost like frail and precious glass falling to concrete ground.My mother calls me Shiloh affectionately. My most adored character is how weird I am. The world is intrigued by my weirdness it is admirable and mysterious. Mysterious creates wonder. People are contemplating, trying to figure me out, I increase brain activity in human, maybe even animals too. People need to practice logical thinking more, it would make the world a healthier place. I am making this world a healthier place. My weirdness is genius. I am waiting for the world to say affectionately thank you Shiloh.

When that not so familiar winsome smile appears on my gold-yellowish face and it turns red, I am reading a book of captivity, and most likely that book would be “1001 Pearls of Wisdom”. Each time I read that book my bond with wisdom becomes more secure. That book bears some responsibility for the strength in woman writing this essay. Its is a source of fulfillment and keeps me simulated. I open my light brown eyes eager to read the words. I examine each word excitingly and each allows a different emotion. Books have plenty a time allowed me to escape my harsh and shameful reality to venture a high of peace. My mother often questions my mental health for she believes it is unhealthy for one to read obsessively as I have done but she is birdbrained to my acts and wits. She is also truly knowledge-less of the mere fact reading a book has protected me from much.

My short legs aide in expelling madness, madness that is sometimes absorbed from reading. It is like the blast off of a spaceship stretching miles away from earthly confusing, making sense of non-sense, sundering weakness limb by limb, and murdering all my injustices as I run. I propel my right leg then the left and continue that routine for more than a reasonable amount of time. Then long enough I am damped in my sweat, its almost like I am a walking a river for my sweat runs down my body in a swift current. That sweat resembles hard work.

From as long as I can remember running was not about wining a placement that represents one is faster than its opponent. I have been participating in Track & Field since I was seven years old. In my earlier years I considered it a punishment then later it transformed to praise, reward, and exoneration. I understand the value of the sport and its effect on me. This sport has bombarded me against destruction. The victory I gained in running was peace. Regarding peace was that of which enabled my wisdom to expel and endure. If it were not for running I would merely be a stiff-necked fool that lives in folly and deserves to be shot! I reject being a stiff-necked fool.

The capital moral I obtained from running was discipline. Who am I to reject self-discipline? No matter the river of sweat, or how pompous my heart beats like a Congo drum or how swollen as a bladder my muscles get, I never stop until I arrive at my goal. It is through this discipline my GPA is a 3.7. My discipline is with flaw, without perfection, it wavers and I sing praises to that because that reminds me weakness still linger near by yet strength masters me.
