8. If you were to describe yourself using a quotation, what would that quotation be? After you have chosen a quote, then write a bit about how it relates to you and reveals what kind of person you are.

I'd describe myself using a quotation as "Dumplings Over Boys". I choose this because when I younger and came into middle school and high school, many of my friends were in relationships. I loved toe at way more than love, my friends would come to me for advice, come brokenhearted so I knew I would never try it. Food energized me when I needed it, love to me seemed to always bring many down into a black hole when everything didn't go right. It reveals I'm picky in love and I'm not so easy to fall into it. I'm an eater not a lover, but of course I knew I would find someone one day.

9. Given the authority to establish a holiday, what would you choose to commemorate? Why? What would the celebration look like?

I would choose to commemorate Grandparents because they have done so much to help their children, our parents. Some like me have never met their grandparents, but many children now are being taken care of by their own grandparents. They deserve a holiday for everything they've done. We'd invite elderly as a celebration and talk to them about their own lives and what they've gone through before. Many ideas can be learnt from the senior citizens and history can be told from those who experienced it.

10. What is the best advice you've ever received? Explain.

The best advice I ever received would be "Don't put too many eggs into one basket." which applies to multiple situations in life. Such as love, college, jobs and decisions. It means don't put your all into one thing, one person, one perspective. Keep some for yourself because when you give them all away you might not get any back. Also you only have yourself in the end. No matter what happens you always come back to yourself to reply on, no one else.

11. Ask and answer the one important question that a university won't ask you, but you wish they would.

Have you ever gone through a rough time in your life which made everything seem hard to deal with, but still come through standing tall?


When I was young I experienced a time I thought would never come, my father passed away and my family was having a feud, I had to move cities, homes, and schools, but I managed on my own. Despite what my family had thrown at me. I stood as much as I could by myself and come out shining.

12. Your life is a movie. Describe the first 15 minutes.

The vibrations of the moving car had woken me up. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and glanced around at the velvet car seat covers. My mother sat in the front seat, watching the road. Everything was blurry as I sat up. Suddenly I felt something crawling near my feet. I caught for furry creature in my hands, a baby rabbit. Her fur coat as white as snow, her eyes black and beady staring back at me. I smiled, "I'll call you BunBun! Do you like that name little guy?" The bunny's nose wiggled and she stuck her head out to sniff my face. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." I giggled and hugged her.

13. Write a letter to your future college roommate introducing yourself and your background.

Dear Roomate,

My name's Jess. Since you're going to be my roommate I hope we have a ton of fun. I'm sort of a neat freak and lazy at the same time, but do what i got to do when the time comes. I'm silly, always hungry and sleepy. I love to work on the computer and play video games along with going out and laying on a patch of grass to nap. I have two step sisters and one step brother. I have a step father and my mother. I love to watch SpongeBob Squarepants and Boomerang! I hope we get along well together.

14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."

I believe the quote is saying the man is so wealthy, the money has corrupted him. The money owns him. He's becomes greedy and allowed the wealth to control him. Many corporations and companies had monopolized their competition just to utilize the money received. Many who are wealthy take drugs and drink all because they have the money to buy it. When money is obtained anyone can be corrupted. Land, money or power tons of plans and ideas were used because the outcome involved such "rewards".
