College Apps

So, you can guess from the title that I've been working on applying to colleges(yay!) and for scholarships(needed desperately). In doing this I realized that I don't know what to write on my essays. I mean, when asked,"Please explain yourself as a person to us so we can judge if you're right for institution(which you're prolly not, but do it anyway). Oh, and do it in under 300 words." It's hard enough to answer that question in unlimited words. I had to look closely at myself just to realize that I did know a little of who I am but not everything....like not even close...at all. But here's what I sent to them so they'd "understand" me better:



I can't fully give you the answer to who I am, because I don't know that myself. I have no problem admitting this because I'm 18, not 90, my life is ahead of me and I haven't yet left the confines of high school or expierenced everything the world has to offer. But in my time trying to figure out who I was for this essay, I did come across a few truths of who I am and those I'll gladly share with you.

• My name is Katherine-Rose. I like my name, but it's long and people don't understand it, so I stick with just plain Katie.



• I'm a music addict, I can't live/study/ destress without it. At that, I'm also musically ADHD, having at least 3 music players open at once at all times.



• I love my family, all 3 of my brothers, my mother, my father, my step-mother and step sister, not to mention numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, but at times its hard to get along. I strongly believe in the philosophy of "I'm not ALLOWED to hate you, I don't HAVE to like you, but I will ALWAYS love you" when it comes to family, especially my brothers (just kidding)



• I like food, this should be not nesscary to say(most people like food) but I don't just like eating, i also love to make it and study how to make it better.


• I have a blog where I better explain my thoughts and who I am, so check it out:http://howyouveremindedme.blogspot.com/

It went on for awhile, but it gave me an even better understanding of who I am and for that I am somewhat greatful....even if it took for frickin' ever to figure out how to word it.
