I AM A PROCRASTINATOR

I am in the process of applying to college. It totally sucks. I probably should have had it all done by now but, you all have a right to know. I AM A PROCRASTINATOR. I know, you probably never would have guessed but... yea. I have just pushed the submit button to Ashland. It felt pretty darn good. Yesterday, i mailed all of my transcripts and i even mailed the rest of my rotary stuff. Now, i get to wait to hear about college and where i get to go in the world next year. Scary stuff.

I really should finish hitting the submit button on all the other ones but...
Here is one of my "personal statements". That's just a really fancy term for essay lol.

To live abroad in a foreign country is a dream of mine that I want to fulfill sometime relatively soon. I love learning about new cultures and new people. If I had the opportunity to live in a foreign country, I would choose to stay in France.
At my high school, my French teacher is one of people who I can go to and talk to about anything. She has such a passion for what she does and she exudes that when she teaches. She is a teacher who really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is my inspiration of what I want to be in life. She has truly inspired me to want to go into French. When I traveled to France earlier this year with her, I saw an amazing country with amazing people. I want to be able to experience being a part of that culture.
I want the opportunity to be able to “be” French. I want to eat baguettes and cheese for lunch while picnicking. I want to be able to take a stroll in the park while everyone around me is chattering in French. I want to establish contacts and make friends that I will have for the rest of my life. By living in France, I would improve my spoken French dramatically. Also, I would get the chance to find out more about myself. Also, I would become more understanding and accepting of different people and cultures. By living in France, I would do things that I never thought could ever happen. I want those things. I want to live in France.




Yepp. I know that it is kinda cheesy. But it really did come from the heart. I think i am going to go and push the submit button now. yay!

ciao
