So while doing my personal statement, I basically had to spill out my sob story, and it reminded me of very recent conversation I had with a couple of friends.
It was about our hardships, and how we've used it to grow and, admittedly, on college resumes and the such, and we came to the conclusion that we would rather of had the hardship not happen at all, have an easy life, and go to a community college than get into a prestigious university because of something that was out of our control. |

Hmmm, ironically me and my friend Hollie had a conversation about something similar to this tonight.
I truly believe that its a good thing to go through hard times. Living an easy life is not really living. Feeling the pain and the hurt and the dissapointment not only teaches us lessons and makes us wiser but its also an experience. Its something to be proud of...something that you personally conquered. Also, if you think about it...if you hadnt gone through hard times...then you would never be able to relate to anybody who has...you now have the oppurtunity to reach out to someone who is going through what you went through. See what I mean? |
