IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: \x3cb\x3eARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON\x3c/b\x3e?\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I\x26#8217;ve been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eOccasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eUsing only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I\x26#8217;m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eCritics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI don\x26#8217;t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eMy deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations with the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eYears ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eBut I have not yet gone to college.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e### It turns out that it\x26#8217;s not real but that \x3ca title=\x22Wikipedia tells all\x22 href=\x22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Gallagher_%28humorist%29\x22\x3eGallagher\x3c/a\x3e allegedly wrote it in high school for an essay contest.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I would have voted for him if I were on the admissions committee!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThanks to \x3ca href=\x22http://www.robbell.com\x22\x3eRob Bell\x3c/a\x3e for sharing this as part of his great imagery in his Drops Like Stars Tour!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eWhy didn\x26#8217;t I think of this approach when I applied for college!!!?\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_quote_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_quote\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cspan class=\x22tumblr_open_quote\x22\x3e\x26#147;\x3c/span\x3eFairness is not a standard.\x3cspan class=\x22tumblr_close_quote\x22\x3e\x26#148;\x3c/span\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_source\x22\x3e\x0a Life\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_text_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_title\x22\x3eiPhone Thumbs Up.
