College Admissions Essay: This New Year Of My Life

Improved Essays
This New Year is going to be like no other, considering the fact that it began on a
Monday. Even though Sunday is technically the start of a new week, Monday is really the day when you go out there and work hard, as it is known as the day when you have to go back to school or work. This makes me feel as if I can accomplish so much more than I already have in previous years. The previous year, 2017, is put behind me and I have the whole year of 2018 ahead of me to accomplish many goals.

My main focus back then was the people in my life. I admit that some of the relationships with people was toxic, but I was scared of letting go in fear of being alone.
Middle school was an emotional roller coaster for me. I consistently put my everything into just about every person that waltzed into my life because I wanted them to feel appreciated. People took that for granted and I was stepped all over. Eventually, I began to fall back from everyone in my life, including my family over the hurt that I repeatedly felt from those that I loved so much. That's something that I truly regret. Some people that I pushed away might've actually had good intentions for me. I know that my family loves me very dearly and would do anything for me. I pray that 2018 is the year that I can finally begin to open back up to those that do care for me. A lot can happen in a year. The previous year, 2017, was undoubtedly one of my worst and best years in so many ways. I experienced an emotional rollercoaster through the beginning of the year up into the middle of the year. I went through something that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. During that time, it was a struggle for me to even get up and push myself to

Moving away changed my life and it made me the person I am today.…

    Becoming an adult is something we all eventually do, and there are some many factors whom can determine how we are going to develop to the real world; some of these key elements are such manners of family, age, and everything at your surroundings. Life can be so different for everyone, as far as for me, having to grow up in a multi diverse culture such as the Mexican one has been truly an honor. Despite of all horrific blasphemies Mexico have been accused lately, I can say that there is no more fun, spoiled, and perfect experience in life as being raised in Mexico. Adapting can be hard for a child, however, that was not my case whatsoever; despite of being born in the long star state, Texas, living at America was never my parents plan, after…

    I have to say 2015 was a pretty good year for me. Of course to go along with those good things of course there has to be some that aren’t as wonderful. An example of this would be like when my grandma had to go to the hospital. She had to go because she was becoming very ill since our grandfather had died. She hadn’t been out of her house in a very long time; she hadn’t moved from the couch much rather than to eat, use the restroom, or something had to do something she absolutely needed to do.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
