I am not a genuis
I did not receive a perfect score on my SAT. Nor do I know the reason cows and elephants are the only animals that can’t jump. However, what I do know is that out of the thousands of students applying to Rutgers, I am unique. I have dedicated 600 hours of the past four years of my life to community service, visiting patients in nursing homes and hospitals whenever I cou . . .
As I prepared to leave after each visit, I made a conscious effort to bring a part of them with me. I had to come to terms with the fact that it was possible to spend an entire evening laughing and crying with one patient, and find that same room empty the very next day. Each day was a new experience, a different page in their life story. Though the visits were intended to benefit the sick and elderly, in retrospect, I realize these visits were for me just as much as they were for them. I am ready for the responsibility and the hard work. The laughter, the stories, and the tears will always be a part of me and will comfort me as I enter a new stage in my own life. These visits saw me through difficult periods in my life and helped me to emerge stronger and more confident. These experiences forced me to learn things I otherwise would never have understood and to appreciate the things in my life that had become mundane.
