College Essay


College Essay

When I was little, I used to think the moon was a hospital. My imagination and logic ran extremely wild before I got older. It's strange to realize how much we've grown as a person and how little we used to know. Our minds processed so differently. I used to be lost as a kid; I didn't know what I wanted, and everyone always had his or her own dream for his or her future. Both my siblings even had an idea of what they wanted to be. But it wasn't until I began my first high school year that I started to have an essence on something.
I took band in middle school, I played the flute. I thought it was overrated and didn't enjoy it. Unfortunately, my schedule freshmen year came with a period of band, which I didn't want. I switched out into a building construction class, thinking it was creative woods. The creative woods class made boxes, plates and more out of different kinds of wood. Creative, I know. The building construction class's main concept was to learn about building and to do mini projects of building that dealt with construction work. 
The class was full of upperclassmen, not to mention, counting me; there were a total of four girls. End result? I loved the class. The feeling of me creating something is satisfying, whether it's building a birdhouse or drawing a picture. It's the feeling a talented singer gets when he/she performs a song wonderfully. It is easy for me to understand the concept of things being built and why some things needed to be made so complex. People call me a great problem solver. I'm assuming it all comes from my great ability and appreciation in mathematics and drawing of why I actually enjoy the subject of building. It all adds up, I want to be in the architecture and designing department in the future. I don't just choose to be a part of it, I have passion for it. As of now, I can't wait to pursue a position in the architecture and design field.
It excites me to know that my future will relate to an architectural career. Nonetheless, life itself. I see myself as being creative; I have a large imagination that I know will bring me far in the future.
