So, I've been sitting here for over an hour trying to think of formative life experiences that I can write about. I have to say, Mr. Logsdon, my life is kinda boring. The most interesting and impactful thing that's ever happened to me in all my 16 years of life is tearing my ACL last semester, and I have every intention of writing mainly about that on my college essays. What I've learned from that is the importance of hard work. I was behind on my schoolwork from the day I had surgery to the end of January. I didn't even have a winter break because of all the work I had. Getting back on track with school while keeping up with my leg literally took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Blood from taking care of the scars, sweat from physical therapy (which I still dread going to most days), and tears from constant pain and stress :). This experience shows that I'm a very hard worker and that I push through even the worst of circumstances to accomplish what I need to. Judging by this, I guess college would be a good fit for me because I aspire to be an engineer and that requires a lot of hard work.
