Every semester I learn something completely new and surprising. Last year, I’ve learned to cherish the people who are in my life. People who I thought would be there forever have left and never looked back, and those who I didn't expect to be so close to, have come into my life and never left my side. I’ve learned that some people just won't be there for me...and that's perfectly okay. Because I have also learned that there will be those who are willing to help me carry the burdens of life, simply because they care so much for me.

Walking through the corridors of such a profound school, I was excited to begin my journey of lifelong learning. Over the years being a part of such a dynamic women’s college, holds true that these creative individuals are strong, competitive and …show more content…

My mind is exhausted. I have had a sense of hopelessness as if I didn’t belong at times. Trying to maintain good grades and a strong GPA, the course loads and challenge classes started to become overwhelming. Therefore, I found myself in the counseling and psychological services office seeking assistance to deal with the lows of depression. As I seek help, the trauma of withdrawing from my close friends as I try desperately to explain why I’m so distant is disastrous. However, the friends in which I had such a great bond with for years, didn’t care to understand my hardships. They left my corner, without even reaching out to see if I’m okay. Then God’s sent two special angels to my side to help me through my journey. They helped encourage me, and I begin to believe in myself again. However, the struggle became even tougher for me as I received a call on that dreadful day that put the dagger in my heart. From that moment, my life begins to unravel bit by bit. Consequently, the once strong matriarch of my family, could not endure the pains of cancer. Uncontrollable screams surfaced in the school hallway as I received the news.

Admissions Essay - My Father Died of AIDS

Seventeen years ago, I came bounding into a world of love and laughter. I was the first child, the first grandchild, the first niece, and the primary focus of my entire extended family. Although they were not married, my parents were young and energetic and had every good intention for their new baby girl. I grew up with opportunities for intellectual and spiritual growth, secure in the knowledge that I was loved, free from fear, and confident that my world was close to perfect. And I was the center of a world that had meaning only in terms of its effect on me-- what I could see from a height of three feet and what I could comprehend with the intellect and emotions of a child. This state of innocence persisted through my early teens, but changed dramatically in the spring of my sophomore year of high school. My beloved father was dying of AIDS.

Sunday mornings used to consist of lethargic snuggling underneath oversized thermal blankets while binge-watching Netflix for hours with family. Weekends were my favorite because it was the one time during the week I was able to laze in the comforting presence of my mother whom I rarely encountered because of her hectic work schedule. Since my parents divorced when I was only about five years old, I was raised by a hard-working single mother for the majority of my life, 2,614 miles away from my estranged father whom I rarely talk to except on birthdays and national holidays. Not only did my mother have to balance supporting me, but also my grandfather in the Philippines who was in critical condition after his third stroke in May of last year. My aunts and uncles could not cover the medical expenses on their own, so my mother invested as much as she could for the sake of her father. The distress and devastation my mother

Recently, I have purchased a “Platy-tat-tat” CD player from your company. Unfortunately, there was a rather strange issue with it. When I had inserted a CD and pressed play, a strange screeching noise erupted from the speakers. It sounded very similar to a cat with asthma screaming, a genuinely terrifying noise. Now, I have only been using this product for a short period of time. In fact, this was the first time I had used it since I had bought it from the Mart-Wal in east Centreville on March 31st.

But, with every attempt, I was met with a mocking failure. Eventually I gave up on my performance as Prometheus, and walked away, ego dragging in the cold ashes behind me.

Two years and four months ago I died. A terrible condition struck me, and I was unable to do anything about it. In a matter of less than a year, it crushed down all of my hopes and dreams. This condition was the death of my mother. Even today, when I talk about it, I burst into tears because I feel as though it was yesterday.

My dad’s job often moves us, and I usually love it because it’s a chance to start anew. During the beginning of my junior year, they moved us to Minnesota, and I was not excited at all.

Ultimately, my dad had to move to Minnesota by himself, and this was very difficult for me because our family unit was growing stronger, so splitting up was like pulling teeth. I was worried about my dad having to live out there alone, and with MN being miles away, we would rarely see him.

I was very excited to make a new step in my life, college. I came with high hopes and aspirations. My hometown is not near Arizona, It is Lake Tahoe, Nevada, so going home for the weekend was simply out of the question. I had a great time for the first month, enjoying freedom. However, I was sitting in my room one night writing a paper with my roommate, and one of my friends from home called me. She said that one of our good friends from high school had just committed suicide earlier that day. I didn’t know how to react to this; I was scared, and confused. Why did he do it? Why didn’t anyone know that he was unhappy? Was he unhappy? I felt regret, thinking I should have been there for him. Once the crying commenced, my mother called me telling me that my last grandma had gone into the hospital. She had collapsed in her apartment and was rushed to the emergency center. I had no idea what to do. I felt like God was just condemning me and attacking me for some reason. I went into this deep depression and I didn’t want anyone to talk to me, if they did, I would simply start crying. I was alone, and no one knew who I was. I was too far away from home to go to my friend’s ceremony.
